Sound and Direction

October 13, 2019

Does anyone know if sound is being re-worked? I was at interchange stalking another player, I was wearing Comtacs so sound was amplified. The sound felt very distinct and was coming from the front left of me but the player popped up behind me from a open door about 10 meters away and I turn around then "boom". I felt as if the sound direction was way off, have had this happen a couple times while stalking. Hope there are some fixes on the sound.

Steam Audio has been planned for .13 (originally for .12 but pushed back) which will introduce a LOT of new techniques with regards to sound propagation, occlusion, possibility of HRTF etc. Have a google, there’s loads of good information on it

P.S. for now, make sure all audio ‘enhancements’ on your PC are OFF, including Dolby, volume normalisation, EQ, ‘Surround’ etc. Tarkov delivers audio in stereo so we should make sure everything is set to stereo to get the best possible experience!
