Until Embark Studios puts out a proper fix for the problem, this should smooth things out.
I’m having a lot more fun with Arc Raiders than I expected to—not that I assumed there’d be anything wrong with it, I just really suck at PvP shooters. Arc’s relatively peaceful game world (not counting all the damn robots) has thus come as a genuinely pleasant surprise, and instead of getting mad and going back to Find My Frogs after an hour or two, I’m thoroughly hooked.
I had just one problem: The sound in Arc Raiders would persistently hiccup and hitch, and the troubles would get worse the longer I played. After three or four matches, the audio would drop out for a full second or two, intermittently but repeatedly, multiple times per minute. The game continued to run normally, to be clear, it was just dead silent. The effect was incredibly distracting and irritating, and for a game as dependent on audio cues as Arc Raiders, it was a deal breaker: I was ready to quit playing if I couldn’t find a fix.
