Sounds bugged? I am confused and angry.

Hi

I am really starting to get frustrated about the game since i keep dying without hearing my enemys Sneak up on me. It seems a lot of players have no footsteps anymore. The amount of times players could sneak up on me without a single noise now is unacceptable. Is this intended? I am wearing sordins or comtacs all the time to be prepared for enemy players when they come. Keeping my own sounds low all the time. But they still manage to appear on places where they couldnt be. This never happend to me in the old Patches. I dont know maybe 0.8 or 0.7 and before. Before Sounds changed. I cant hear footsteps more than 5 meters or so away from me anymore it is so frustrating when you are in high alert and still get killed from behind Or you camp in a room and someone just throws a greneade into it while you he didnt even make noise when he went to your door. This is not normal... Is it Covert movement is bugged or sounds or headphones or is this intended, but then why should i wear headphones?

So frustrated once more. I think this is my main reason to die. Second reason is esp users as soon as the good gear is loaded Maybe 3 Raids and then a hacker kills me since he knows exacly where to find the nice loot.

I noticed too that sounds are really broken with this patch.

Especially directional sound is now broken, worse than it was before the patch.

Sometimes when people are above you, it sounds as if they are on the same floor.

It is also much harder to hear from which horizontal direction sounds come. I've had multiple occasions where I was completely misled by the sound coming from the front, while I was being shot from the back. 

Never had this before the patch.

Another thing that has gone worse because of this patch...

After walking at minimum speed careful not to make any noises for the first 10 minutes of the round I suddenly hear someone shooting just feet from me, bullets snapped over my head so close I swore I was being shot at. I found no bodies, no SCAVS, no PMCs, ANYWHERE on that side of map(train track side of woods) literally I covered that entire area bushes and all until I was dehydrated and found nothing, all containers unlooted as well.

This game has no directional sound…  we live in a stereo only world because that is realistic… 

 

Sound engine is just another example of a completely broken asoect of this game that has never been addressed.

 

A "realistic" shooter with no surround sound is another. Games have had 4+ surroind sound for decades.
