I think there's a huge problem with the game's audio mix.
It's all very cluttered. I often can't hear what's around me.
A tank to my left, no sound, an enemy running to my right, no sound, an ally running behind me, no sound. On the other hand, the parachute sounds are too loud and poorly localized. You can often hear distant noises very well, but very close ones are barely audible.
The worst part, however, is the footsteps, which are mostly inaudible.
I hear them after they killed me. When they are near..no foootsteps...after death..very loud.
Tanks sometimes are suddenly behind me also..with out sound
This reeks of skill based manipulation.
I'm facing exaclty the same, plus spatial sound doesn't work at all...
I have tried different audio mixes from in-game settings, switching Dolby Atmos/ Windows Sonic and issue persists.
Games like Hunt Showdown 1896, CS2 and many others you can locate someone just by hearing them... like how far it is, if it's on your side, front or behind you... even it's above or below you.
So it's not my PC or Headset... it's just BF audio which is not working at all...
Looking back at previous BF I could hear direction fire, close footsteps, even on a roof full of players in combat.
Razer BlackShark V2 (synapse v3).
Seems like you prioritised the big sounds over the subtle sounds. Looking back at previous BF I could hear direction fire, close footsteps, even on a roof full of players in combat.
100% agree with you
What scares me is that there is no official information regarding this bug (we hear a lot about bloom etc. but not about the audio mix)
Interesting that there is an "audio fix" next week (28th). Let's hope it sorts the problem as my THX is worthless.
