Sound is so bad.

[кят Ruff]

Am I missing a stereo setting or something? It's like it's in mono.
Absolutely no idea where sounds are coming from.

[ᵇᵃⁿᵃⁿᵃⁿᵃ]

this *sounds* like a personal problem

[кят Ruff]

I'm not sure it is, I've never had this issue in any other game previously.

[[OTG] floss_uk]

have you set the sound to epic?

[кят Ruff]

Of course

The team now have a sound engine guy doing sound engine stuff.

I can now identify the direction and distance of some sounds.


But in my opinion the sound of that game got worse with the last change of sound.
Before the sound was more immersive, it made me feel at war.

utterly disgusting sound positioning, old sound was much more precise

[Cylixx]

Positional sound is really basic at the moment. Also levels on most sounds are preliminary as well, with too much low freq. The other jarring thing is how the environmental effects going from field, to woodland, to inside; doesn't have a smooth transition yet.

Update 7 introduced the environmental effects and the looping weapon sounds. These things are still new, set to be improved as more of the game is developed.

Update 7 also introduced crashes lol.

Yeah, the gun sounds are effing terrible. The american weapons sound suppressed.

Yea the sound is really in a bad state. In FPS games sound is very important especially sound positioning. I have a 7.1 headset and its basically doing nothing at all. Its even worse then most stereo games right now. Also the machineguns sound really bad, its almost like my sound crashed. This is how a mg42 sounds like and its nothing like in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ULHUdQU7tg

*Edit so if any devs read this, i love your game but:
1. optimize audio positioning
2. give us more realistic mg42 sounds :)

That would be just awesome!

Go to your settings, Make sure its set to highest, Several times now ive noticed it set itself to Low.

Thank god I'm not the only one! Thought I was going deaf or something.

It sounds like surround sound and lacks punch

[Sleepy_Walker]

I've noticed that if a weapon goes off I can normally get a general idea of where it is coming from. If the weapon fires twice or more in under a second I can find it loads better than if it goes just once. If a weapon is shot at me and misses, but is close enough for a wiz-crack to play, then I have less of an idea of where it came from. If a weapon is close range, which I know because the report and the wiz-crack are super close together, I have no freaking idea where it came from.

At least for me, I find that the wiz-crack sound obscures the positional audio from the weapon. I think the wiz/crack plays to the same part of the soundscape each time and really muddies a person's ability to figure out the direction based on sound. At close range I think I should know exactly where that shot came from. I mean, my character should literally feel the pressure wave from one of these rifles.

Removing wiz-crack sound at close range would solve some of my most frustrating times. You know, that guy hiding in some grass at close range and you have no idea where he is as he picks people off.
