This does not help at all sound modders, which are currently testing mods at the moment and as of the current patch, let us enable the sound mods again for us who don’t have any issues or are currently developing and testing mods.

i really dont agree with the disable, people who complain about a sound mod being broken should not be able to ruin it for everyone else,i never had an issue and LOVED how it sounded but now its been ruined by other people

They have a “fair” argument as casual users were getting crashes due to the use of outdated mods, but the way of handling it I dont agree, they can just put up a notice of disable sound mods if encountering issues with crashing, also they need to mark outdated sound mods like they do with skins when they are too old. All in all, Do not shut off sound mods for Everyone!

Not having vehicle-specific sounds, yet taking away modding because some players can’t even be bothered to remove their broken mods, is just… I can’t comprehend the thinking behind it.
If the reasoning was that some people were somehow using it as an exploit or something, fair enough.
But even then, FIRST create the solution, then disable it. If anyone experiences issues, just have an automatic message that tells them to remove any sound modifications… or add a “Reset” option in the launcher that removes any modifications that might break the game.
Contact at least the large sound mod devs and use digital signatures in order to allow those mods to work.
Solutions exist and they are not at all hard to implement. Might take one experienced dev a few days at most.
Disabling it for everyone… I see it as a sign of laziness.
Everyone who adds sound mods can also remove them. Literally go to the same folder and delete the stuff you added.
