This was meant to be a filed bug report but after reading this recent dev blog mentioning that basically bug reporting is off and the f12 bug button was removed; I figured I'd post it here. (The blog did say to come here anyway)

Everyone feel free to test this, I asked a friend to test it and he got the same bug.
Here's my bug report:



Description:

If your drones are engaged in combat while the camera is zoomed in and focused on one of them (Look At), then the drones are recalled to drone bay, all audio will cut out until next session change. This happens as soon as the drones disappear from your screen and the camera resets to your ship.



Reproduction Steps:


1. While undocked and ready to engage into combat, zoom in the camera as close as possible to your ship.

2. Engage a target.

3. Deploy drones and engage them to the target. (I used light combat drones)

4. While the drones are traveling to the target, but before having reached it, right click and 'Look at' one of your drones to focus the camera on it while still zoomed in.

5. After the drones have shot the target a few times, recall all drones to the drone bay. As soon as the camera resets to your ship all audio will cut out until the next session change.

I too can confirm this bug..

- To note on my part, I tried this without being zoomed in on anything.. I was zoomed out to 100k using tactical overlay. deployed drones, engaged a rat in belt.. zoomed in on a drone, recalled the drones.. Audio cut as soon as the camera switched.

For me I simply hit ESC, disabled audio. Closed the Menu.. Hit ESC again, enabled audio.. All was fine. I do believe this didn't work for Jalequin above however, as he had to Re-log in order to get his sound back.

I can also confirm this buggy bug Smile

It also happens when I look at some ship near dock range and the ship suddenly docks... the camera resets back to mah ship and audio cuts off.
