R83 Bug - Failure playing back certain audio clips

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ Bugs and Technical Issues
1

Platform: PC, Steam
Build : Ship.R83.0.CL299684
Data : 302816.2.302816.0 LIVE

The audio for Ares’ Onslaught is completely failing to play, leaving use of the skill jarringly mute.
The audio for She Hulk’s Settlement is partially failing to play. A distinct number of channels carrying part of the sound FX is missing.

Both are 100% reproducible and occuring on both player and enemy side.

There may be other skills affected as well.

Does anyone even run an integrated test suite on these kind of things? I mean; really, how do regressions like ‘fail to play audio clip X, Y Z’ start to randomly occur? Jeez…

Modewrator edit: changed subject line to remove Steam mention, as people are seeing this on other platforms as well. -DayvBang

I just played DP daily and I noticed that Ares power sound effects are gone. I’ve recently updated the game. Also haven’t tried using his powers in other events. Can anyone confirm?

Update:
Add Blades “Keep your enemies closer” power to the list

Merged two threads on this issue.

4

I’ve noticed the Ares one as well

5

if anyone is experiencing this on a platform other than Steam, please mention this so we can update the subject line.

6

Ares issue on iPad Air 2, latest iOS for me.

7

Thanks for confirming, I’ve updated the subject line to be more broad.

8

I’ve noticed the same issue on the latest Android build as well.

Platform Pc, Steam

Ares as mentioned already and Blade (when casting his purpletile.png
skill)

10

Also noticed the above re Ares.

Also seems that Luke Cage Jab ability is affected as well

PC - Steam

11

Can second Jab Jab Cross as broken as well. Same platform.

12

iOS 8.4.1 on iPhone 5s

Ares’ Onslaught and Sunder are muted. Rampage is softer.

13

Rampage isn’t softer.
Like She-Hulk’s Settlement; it’s missing half its sound effects channels.

14

Just noticed this playing MPQ last night, that when performing Ares’ Onslaught attack. The usually axe landing sound is muted. Has this happened to anyone else?

15

We can add Doc Oc’s Armed and Dangerous to the list of ‘half of the sound channels missing’ already populated by She-Hulk’s Settlement, Ares’ Rampage and Luke Cage’s Jab Jab Cross.

This has happened to everyone else.

16

Bug acknowledged (for Ares, at least, waiting for confirmation on other sound effects) here.

17

Blade’s purple re-uses SFX from She-Hulk’s blue. Makes sense they’d both be affected.

18

Hi everyone,

Confirming that ALL characters with missing SFX should be fixed in the R85 update.

Thanks for the reports.
