In the flights, I noticed that the is absolutely ZERO audio coming through the back-channels.
No hit sound, no footsteps, no vehicle sounds, no ambiance, no gun sounds. No matter if you’re pressed up to a warthog, or being shot point-blanc from behind. The only thing you can rely on the hit-indicator, which, by the time you notice it, it’s probably already too late.
This bug is still present in the current version of the game.
This means people can “sneak” up to you. You can get shot, but you have no idea if it’s close or far off. Vehicles will catch you off-guard. I’ve tested multiple combinations of settings, and even muted everything but the back-channels (which resulted in complete silence) and tried turning surround sound off, but there seems no fix. It’s like the game is sending sound to a non-existent channel, or just straight-up does not support surround sound correctly.
I’ve been using a Logitech Pro X, and I’ve seen other Logitech users post about this same bug on both Reddit and different forums.
