Escape from Tarkov

Can’t tell if the sound is better or worse, for now I’m struggling to tell where people are but I imagine it’s just a case of getting used to it.

I mean if the sound is done well you shouldn’t have to get used to it, it should just work. Having to learn how a sound engine works is a sign that it’s not doing it’s job very well.

Look at hunt showdown, best positional sound in the industry and there is nothing to learn or get used to, you just use your ears as you would in real life.
 
Well had a little wander around the new map, seems nice. Really can't see myself getting back into the game though, as soon as the reality and memories of doing the same old tedious missions set in i instantly realised i could not be arsed to through that all again.

Same feeling here - had some fun with friends yesterday but have zero motivation to load up and play at all today.

Yup, Hunts sound design is second to none (as far as online FPS goes at least) - think that made Tarkov feel even worse yesterday as had been playing Hunt a few hours before the patch hit.

I think in places its a marked improvement but also still needs a lot of work. When looting the majority of containers/stashes on woods I don't get any sound effects to the point I cant hear scavs or anything going on around me. Selecting binaural audio for a lot of people seems to really affect there performance and stability. Still having a good time with it but not played streets yet.
 
I am trying the single player mod out, it's actually quite good fun.
There are so many fun mods and they're all really easy to setup.
My favourites:
- A pause mod - it hadn't been updated for the current build but it still worked - useful for when Amazon deliveries turn up
- A weather/time mod - just great to mess around with different times of the day and switching weather - not essential, just fun

I have yet to try any mods, just getting a feel for it still. The pause mod does sound very useful.

Some maps seem much more realistic than others, they really nailed Customs, but Shoreline has fake PMCs spawn near choke points so that's all you tend to find in that map as they kill the scavs early.
