In the UI and in-game, there is noticeable crackling in audio if my sound device is set to output anything higher than 48KHz. It is most noticeable in the radio communications playing in the menu or in-game. The menu music sounds fine. In other games, I can run 96KHz (max) with no audio crackling, so this problem is unique to BMS. I was wondering if anyone had figured out a solution to this other than lowering the sample rate on my audio device.

For context, I also use Steelseries GG virtual audio channels, which upsample the audio to 96KHz, and there is no way to reduce this manually in the application. The only workaround I have is to close out the virtual audio channels and run the entire mix through my Arctis Nova Pro headset while lowering the sample rate in the device itelf to 48KHz.

Currently working my way through the Iron Fortress campaign in the KTO Theater. I started another KTO campaign prior to this (Rolling Fire) and decided to try something more challenging. During my Rolling Fire campaign, I set a few preplanned steerpoints and steerpoint lines to mark threats and the front line. When I switched over to Iron Fortress (brand new campaign), my steerpoints were still on the map.

I tried deleting the steerpoints to clear out everything and saving the map state once they were visibly gone. When I reload a campaign save, the steerpoints reappear on their own. I have also tried deleting the existing ones and entering new ones, saving and exiting, restarting the game, and flying new missions. The old steerpoints persist on the map for some reason.

Is there some specific order I should be doing these steps to set up new steerpoints for this campaign?

Edit: Not a bug! I figured it out. It’s tied to Link 16 in the DTC. Clicking Link 16 Plan and Saving DTC afterward added the new preplanned steerpoints.

@tiag Thank you! The way I solved it and what has worked for me consistently has been updating the threat steerpoints/steerpoint lines on the map, joining a flight, loading the Link 16 plan from that flight into my DTC, and saving the DTC.

@MaxWaldorf Thank you. Maybe if the sound engine is upgraded at some point in the future, this will solve the problem indirectly, too. I’ll just continue routing the audio directly to my headset as a workaround for now.
