Hey @HumbleZulu24895
this currently doesn’t happen in our tests, does this happen 100% of the time for you? All civilisations? Maps? in all game modes?

Yes. Heres a link to an older post which has recording

I’ll try reinstalling and see if that changes anything.

After reinstalling as well as validating game files the problem still persists. Keep in mind it is only heavy scorpion that has no firing sound. There is still an impact sound when the projectile lands, it is when the heavy scorpion is firing that there is no attack sound.
The bug is present in all game modes that I’ve tried. Campaigns, random map (single player) and editor.

Could you please upload a video where this happens?

6

do you have any mod that changes units/skins/sounds or something?

Heres a google drive link with the recording

If you try it not from the editor, does that still happen?

Ok this seems to be an issue on my computer only. I just tried on my sisters laptop and the sound was working as intended. Could it be a formerly installed mod has messed something up? I dont have any mods enabled or subscribed at the moment
