No Weapon Sound / Flash after Weaponswitching since Heli DLC?

Hey Guys, one question,

since the release of Helicopter DLC, whenever someone on my MP Server (dedicated server with Zeus Gamemaster Mode) switches his Weapon (via VAB or Virtual Arsenal or old-fashioned ammobox) everybody else can't hear him shooting anymore. Also, there is no Muzzle Flash - one can still see the bullet impact and hear the sonic cracks.

- This only happens after weapon switch, when you spawn and fire with your spawn weapon, it works.

- When you switch your primary weapons, one can still hear gunshots from the Pistol, and upon changing the Pistol, one can still hear the primary weapon.

- the server is running CBA_A3, MCC4, but the issue persisted after we removed the mods, both client and serversided.

This is such an obvious and present issue, that i was wondering, if it maybe is a bug on our end. Because i simply cannot belive, that such a huge and obvious error in the game would go unnoticed. Since i haven't found any ticket regarding the issue, apart from an old one from 11/2013. So, is this a known issue? Can it be an error on my end? Can anyone help me?

regards, Elena.

As it works for me on any server I played on, I would be curious to try on your server...I'm also using JSRS, do you use it too ? If you're using JSRS, are you sure you're using the updated key ? Do they have the same problem on other servers too, or maybe it's a problem on your server only ? The weapons are modded weapons ? If yes, do you use updated keys for them ?

Check these out, maybe it will help.

It seems that many people (including our group) are experiencing this bug in different ways. :(

It seems to me, it was connected to Modded Weapons. The UTS-15 Shotgun, to be exact, which has still been used my some members, although i removed it from the server. These individuals had the bug, any anyone on the server wasn't able to hear them shoot, they were not able to hear anyone else shoot.

I cam behind this bug when we were testing the issue with 5 People, and one of them, i was able to hear him fire. Then one of the other guys which i wasn't able to hear said "yo stop punching me" - that's when i knew these guys still had the Old mods (which included MOCAP Melee) in their game. Obviously i asked if everyone updated to the new mods, and all said yes, but to met it seemed as if they just downloaded the updated mods (whose armaholic links i posted in our forum) and pasted them over their old mods, not removing outdated modifications. Only the one guy i was able to hear deleted all old mods and downlaoded the new ones.

Btw, just to clear things up, MOCAP Melee doesn't cause any bugs, i just mentionned it as at that point, i was aware of what the problem is. The weapon mod that caused the error was either the UST-15 or an outdated version of the Specialist Military Arms Mod.

I too met a guy having this sound bug on a server, but that was specifically using modded weapons. I personally use mods a lot and I have never had such a problem...first thing to do is checking updates anyway.

Edit: well, I hadn't seen your post while writing this^^ I'm glad you found the solution ;)
