Footsteps

Is anyone having trouble listening to footsteps? I can hear footsteps a building away but when i get in the building the enemy footsteps are non existant and people sprinting is quiet as ♥♥♥♥. I got killed in a building but the only thing i heard was a door open behind me and my back was to the door and in the kill cam this person was sprinting towards it. I for some reason could not hear those footsteps dunno why but i wonder if anyone else has had this problem this usually doesnt happen.

Sounds in this game are broken. I have witnessed dozens of oddities with sounds. Until release I never heard footseps unless the other player was on the next building over or above me in the same building. After the release of the game I can now hear the footsteps but the way they sound is often wrong,
A moment ago I was going after a player who did not know of me and I was going up the stairs listening his footseps. They sounded like they came from the floor above while infact this playerwas right next to me coming down the stairs.
Somehow he managed to move just so I missed him coming down visually but I was still hearing him above me for some reason.

Yeah the sound system in this game is terrible. I can definetly distuingsh where sound is coming from considering i can do the same in fortnite excessively well and in other games but this game is a little too difficult.

Can't find the thread the other day there were some stating that they had used surround sound headphones for quite a while and switching to stereo headphones had a big impact for them.

Myself i have a really hard time to locate noises aswell. When i get shot i usually locate the direction by the impact of the bullets rather than the sound itself. But i'm fairly new so it might be my lack of skill and technique aswell.

Maybe one of you has fixed this problem already. If so, then please share your thoughts

There is something very wrong with footsteps if you ask me. I usually play duo and squad. My teammates often have to point out footsteps as I seem to hear absolutely none for the majority of the game. Just last night I was creeping around and my teammate who was spectating was surprised I couldn't hear a person directly to my left, prolly across the road and another just off 3 o'clock, close range. In the last month, I've been run over by three cars without hearing them at all! Strange thing is it's not across the board - I can clearly hear footsteps in the lobby and can often hear when my teammates are walking/running around the house next door. The two guys from last night were positively stomping once I got a better vantage point on the roof of the single-storey. Unfortunately, that painted a huge target on my chest.

I use Corsair's H2100 Headphones. I've tried normalising/equilising sounds; you get better footsteps, it's true, but you're going to have a hard time finding the source of a pew and rain will mess you up. I've done some stuffing around with the Dolby settings in the software, but I suspect they make things worse. I already play with high latency; and I certainly don't need another disadvantage.
