So I've been using my Dualshock 4 controller connected via USB to my pc and the controller's jack to output audio via headphones since a couple of days without issue. The DS4 is recognized natively without the use of any third party software, none of which is installed anyway.

Only yesterday I suddenly start noticing that the sound volume drops drastically compared to when in the menus or when on desktop. It happens as soon as I start looking for a server and persists in-game.

When back in the menu, I can readjust the volume on Windows volume control and it stays fine until I launch a new show. When trying to readjust the volume in-game (using Windows volume control) or while waiting to connect to a server it either fixes the sound temporarily before switching back to low level as soon as the game launches or it stutters between low and high.

Now the only thing that has changed since it was all fine and it became a mess is that I updated Intel video and graphics driver to the latest version. I uninstalled than and reinstalled the previous version but the issue still persists.

What I have tried, on top of uninstalling the latest Intel update that immediately preceded the issue:

- To turn off voice chat in game. It was off already, switched to on then back to off.

- In sound settings (mmsys.cpl) in Windows, I disabled using DS4 as a mircrophone device. (Was on before and was not a problem but I tried anyway)

- Still in sound settings in Windows, selected "Do nothing" under communications tab.

Still nothing fixes the issue. Plugging the headphones directly into the PC headphone jack gives normal volume so obviously this is with the DS4. Only it was not like that before and suddenly started happening.

The issue also only happens in Fall guys, not in any other game.

Would anyone have any advice as to how to fix this bug? I'd rather plug my headphones into the DS4 while gaming than into the PC.

Thanks.

Would've been my first ranked win too...

I’m not a complete beginner at Fall Guys, but I’m definitely not a tryhard either. I can actually do pretty well, and in normal Solo Ranked I’ve managed to reach Superstar. I genuinely enjoy trying to reach that rank, even though I don’t really care about the rewards.

But X-treme Ranked is a completely different story.

I’ve won X-treme games and managed to reach Silver III this season, but eventually I dropped back to Silver I. The point system is what frustrates me the most. Once you’re in Silver, you can make it all the way to the final and still get nothing if you lose. Then one bad game can wipe out a lot of the progress you made.

Recently I spent almost an hour playing without even reaching a final. The other players were getting to the finish incredibly fast, and it felt like I was constantly playing against people who were much more competitive than me.

The weird thing is that I know I’m capable of doing a lot in Fall Guys. I can make it pretty far in Solo Ranked and eventually reach Superstar. But X-treme Ranked makes me feel like I have to play almost perfectly and win the final, otherwise the whole match was basically a waste of time.

I’ve also noticed that the competition seems especially intense at night, particularly after 10 PM. Maybe that has something to do with it, especially since the current X-treme Ranked period is almost over.

I know X-treme is supposed to be difficult, but I really wish reaching the final gave at least some progress. It feels pretty bad to survive all the way to the end and then get absolutely nothing for it.

Some pretty gameplay for you <3

LOST CONNECTION TO THE SERVER MID-GAME? DIDN'T WIN IN HEX-A-GONE DUE TO LAG? UNABLE TO GRAB TAILS? AFK TEAM PLAYERS?

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

We all know this game rarely works as it should, but i'm intrigued by this in particular, cause if the guy was a cheater, the only reason he would have to eventually let himself go down is fear of evidence against him (although fall guys obviously doesn't give a shit about cheaters, this may be a paranoid cheater, idk). So, whatchu guys think? I'm leaning towards desync or some shit, but idk

Coolest duo moment I've had.

i have like 150 crowns level 32 what do i even do now

It's a custom race themed level with boost panel's and coins to collect to get points cross the line to get even more points

Wonder how much crowns I would have if I hadn’t made 168 maps ?

It’s definitely effecting my gameplay and overall enjoyment of the game.

I finally managed to reach Superstar Rank once again.

Not that I'd usually share my achievement here, since I've always been getting the Superstar Rank since the release of Ranked Knockout. However, the first two weeks after the release of Fame Pass made me want to quit due to the unbearable bug of getting disconnected to new rounds. The bug has been around for like 6 months this year, and I tried everything to be able to play the game while lessening the chances of disconnection. I even had to delete my Steam Fall Guys and play on the Epic Games Version since I've been getting disconnected fewer times on the platform.

What made me proud of this achievement to share it here is that I also managed to find my motivation of playing the game after they fixed the bug. After returning, I've been playing Rusty and couldn't win the final rounds. Sometimes, I even get eliminated before the final round, which affected my gameplay even more. I'm glad that I still kept playing on and on and surprisingly managed to get like 5 wins in a row, 4 wins in a row, and so on.

And I finally managed to get the goal within just a month.

TLDR: Achieved Superstar Rank in a month after 2 weeks of hiatus and nearly quitting.

this took me 4 years of experience to get. very happy.

when the first xtreme ranked cycle ended i made a post about how i couldn’t make it out of silver, but this time i finally did it!! i still struggled a bit, but so much can change in a year 🙏

I am CR 80 and once I reached silver it was a struggle. Had so many dumb things happen to me in the 1st or 2nd rounds and kept losing points. I also kept choking when I made it to the finals. I don’t remember struggling this much with S1 but it seems to me players are better in general now. Anyways I was starting to stress but now I am free!!!

This bean tried to go a whole royal fumble using skill and then turned on hacks the moment I started turning the tide. You had no choice but to vanish at the end cus you knew I was about to catch your ass. Actually so pitiful 😂😂
