Audio on tanks and such is faint...

[vzaitsev]

For some reason, recently tank audio for me has been particularly low. My squadmates have been able to hear tanks pretty far out, but it seems that I cannot hear them until they are 500-600m from me. It didn't used to be this way, and since others can hear them, I have no clue why the sound isn't rendering on my computer...

please retest in the next open beta (next week?).

We've upgraded the core audio engine and this may adjust that.

Alternately try switching between hardware and software modes.

Great news. Audio volumes are terrible since 1.31

Is this the new audio system that was mentioned for work this year, or just an interim upgrade?

When you have low audio do you hear thunder but it is not raining. Had that several times in the past. But not after I fiddled with my sound card seetings now all it okay

This is it. Basically we switched to Xaudio2 which reads the system better than what we had before so it can better translate the game's spatial aound across what ever hardware set up you are running.

I find it hard to test without knowing how far away we are supposed to hear tanks.

What is the range limit?

Are the limits the same for all ground vehicles?
