Footstep audio bug and overall performance issue

Okay, I have two things to report ever since I came back to the new patch:

1. At times, footstep audio will disappear. Now, I'm not sure if this is something that happens to every hero, but I noticed it on Shiv. I didn't think much about it because I thought it was just from my client's side, however I had game where Haze asked me how tf did I come up to her because she didn't hear me. After that interaction, I started noticing that bug way more often and it led me to believe it's server side issue and not only on my side.

2. And other issue I have is performance side. I had to get new GPU, but I only got it after Map Rework update dropped so I unfortunately don't have any other point of reference because before patch, loading into pre-game lobby was fairly normal without any hiccups. However, as of lately, whenever I load in pre-game lobby it really takes time and I usually end up being last one to load, which wasn't the case before. I can't even use pre-game pings because I end up being last one that loads, and it throws me immediately onto zipline part. Rest of the game however, works wonderfully without any stutters.

My specs are:
Ryzen 7 x3700
RX9070
16GB RAM

My old GPU was Nvidia 1080ti. I did full NVIDIA driver wipe before installing RX9070, so I'm not sure if I can pinpoint the load issue on my side properly. Any info or insight would be really helpful.
 
Yeah I noticed the footstep issue with Bebop. Hes clanking so loudly when he walks and I got sprinted at by a few bebops now next to me behind a wall and they wouldnt make a sound at all. Pretty frustrating

True, but I could salvage it if it's only bug that occurs on client side. However, if it's something that directly affects gameplay because footsteps sounds is sometimes so important in chase, it defo needs fast fix.
 
Thanks for reporting this @MugenMcFugen and @CAPSGLOCK ! Do you have the match IDs for the games this happened in?
I have feeling it happens almost every single game, but I'm pretty sure it happened in this game I had today:

36597056

I wish I could be more specific, but it seems like sounds disappear at random times, I couldn't pint point if there was event or something that makes the sound bug out.

I will dig tomorrow and see if they are in my game history. But those games I remember where early last month I think. At first I chalked it up to me not hearing audio and didnt pay attention, but then I had some people ask ingame and now saw it in the forum. I will try my best to give you an example.
