I get that but calling the game “unplayable” without them is ridiculous
Its not unplayable by any means but Im intentionally staying away after playing with vanilla sounds for 2 months on these days.
I felt alive after they activated sound mods again for a short time because hearing real VWS systems and actual tanks engines felt refreshing, sadly we lost again.

As i said, i find it Unplayable for my own taste, if people can play with basic sounds, good for them.
Everyone has different opinions on such, so really no point in arguing there
I just miss my RCSM

it does take away huge part of the game.
Imagine playing Ace Combat without its OST.
Its not as bad of course, but good sound design does make a game really good.
Unplayable is still an exaggeration, but it does take away a big immersion factor

I see it the same as obsessing over FPS and not playing because the game runs at 119 instead of 120
Its much more than that, comparing Sound mods to fps numbers is actually insulting to both users and developers.
Difference is night and day when it comes to sound mods.

That’s not comparable, people that lose it for 1 FPS is way different than a whole Sound environement.
Be honest with yourself, basic sound are trash. You ain’t driving tanks but lawnmowers or vaccums.
And you can’t even hear planes when playing tanks with the basic sounds.
well that is one less frame of tank per second you get in a tank game.
Less tank in a tank game is not good :(

War thunder isnt an immersive game. I care more about sound design in games like GHPC
Alright, that’s a fair take, but still, you can’t blame us, other players that want something more immersive than whatever are the current sounds in game.

We do not know what the issue is.
It would be nice to know why they have to do that.
But this could be an exploit that needs to be patched before everyone is affected.
Calling this a punishment is wild imo.

Calling it a punishment was probably a bit harsh.
But I was just really happy to have my sound mod back, and like actually be able to hear RWR and stuff, and I was only able to play with them for an hour or two.
I’m just mad at the lack of communication involved with this whole thing. And if it was because of an exploit, why not just say so?

I also think that Gaijin should be communicating way more with its community. I am happy about the community update posts, but before that we had an actual roadmap.
Why they don’t tell us that is a mystery. You would have to ask the devs to get an answer if there is one,

I mean, if people are intentionally using the Wip client for sound mods, then they probably understand the risk of crashing bc of it

Why not just leave soundmods enabled on WIP and let people send crash resports? Why disable them? If ppl dont want their games to crash they can go to the live launcher…

Were you using any mods? And if yes which one were they?
