Announcers disappear after a few minutes

[Goffs]

Right it's been happening in my games and I'm wondering if it happens to anybody else here.

My latest post in impressions thread Goffs. Unfortunately at this state the game is unplayable.

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

I'm getting that and the micro stutter on my end. Didn't expect it to be perfect out of the box but c'mon 2K, these are legacy issues...my rig is a damned savage too so I know it isn't that (i7 3930k, GTX Titan, ROG 4 board with 32 gb ram).

It really seems the better the rig, the worse the performance, but that could just be a coincidence. I wonder if we should even bother contacting 2K support -- they'll just give us a canned answer with no information, won't they?

Also having this issue. Not game breaking but it's a shame

What do you mean it is not gaming breaking?! Commentary is one of the strongest gameplay elements of NBA2k.
I think the commentators can't stand watching that lag fest so they simply stop commenting.

You're right that 2K support will just be generic troubleshooting. You might get lucky and happen to connect with someone who knows something about the game, but honestly, your best bet is to pop over to NLSC and add to the thread about it there. Leftos tended to be quite responsive last year over there and we got fixes for similar issues in a timely manner (he might still check here too, but NLSC is the better bet).

EDIT: He's already investigating the stuttering at least:

For those of you that are experiencing stuttering, can you please reply with your DxDiag.txt and VideoSettings.cfg file attached (preferrably zipped together)? Are you an Nvidia or AMD owner?

You can get a DxDiag.txt by running dxdiag (just press the Windows key or click on the start menu and type in dxdiag and run it) and then click on "Save All Information..."
You can get your VideoSettings.cfg by opening Explorer and going to %appdata%\2K Sports\NBA 2K16.

Also, if you open your VideoSettings.cfg file in Notepad, do you see your main graphics card (AMD/NVidia) there or is it the onboard one (e.g. Intel)?

I'll try to pass on as much information as I can.

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

This, for me, is pretty unacceptable. The game prides itself on presentation and yet for long periods of time in the game the announcers are basically muted until some random act brings them back, be it end of a quarter, a big dunk, what have you. The feel is completely gone when they're not there.

I've noticed that too. I have an old i5 760 with a R9 270X, so fairly mid-low end, and I play 1080 on high and it is smooth. I wonder if there is a setting or a collection of settings causing this, that people with better machines would only typically look to enable. Or, perhaps, that any auto-detection of settings that the game produces is enabling because the hardware quality is there to do it.

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

My announcers cut out, come back at the end of a quarter or halftime. Then they cut out again. I also get micro stuttering.

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

The workaround is to go to Simcast Live for a second and then jump back in. That should restore commentary. We're looking into it in-house as well.

So no fix in My career then

you really drop the ball with the PC version this year, how come I can play NBA 2k15 maxed out at 40-50 fps and get 10 fps in 800x600 everything low in NBA 2k16, it doesnt make any sense

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

Has anyone from 2K actually played the PC version? Do they just launched the game, navigated through the menus and said "Ok, it's working perfectly guys! Release it!"?? Because if someone had played at least 5 minutes ingame he should have noticed the commentary issue (amongst others...)
For 6 years now I supported 2K, there were years that I even bought 2 and 3 copies for friends. But this time I'm going to be harsh and I really want an official answer about this mess. Has anyone done QA for the PC version? I'd like an honest answer.

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

I wish Greg Anthony would disappear! Or at very least there was a slider for each individual announcer like the Show has.

Re: Announcers disappear after a few minutes

This has been going on since 2k15 with no fix.
