As of the patch this morning (4/7) I have a new bug: All sound appears to have a lot of popping. It pops so much it sounds like static. About 10 pops per second on average, I'd guess.

It's more noticeable with long playing sound like music, but most sound and sound effects in game seem to have it. Short sounds that are noisy anyway (like gunfire) it isn't too noticeable but most everything else it's very noticeable.

To double check drivers and hardware, I'm playing iTunes right now (out of game, of course) and there's no issues.


Short System specs:

Fujitsu Lifebook (Laptop) A series, Windows 7 64 bit, 4 G bytes installed memory, Intel Core i5 M460 2.53 GHz (dual core).

The sound is the built-in on-board sound. Drivers are listed as ATI High Definition Audio Device and Realtek High Definition Audio Device.

I'd start with Verifying All Files (consistency check). I've had the patcher mess up before patching the files.
