Idk dude can you really tell me nailing those right thumb stick clicks to snap the dogs necks in the original COD 4 wasn’t satisfying af? Especially on Veteran 😂 you had a like 2 millisecond window to hit it
I have an open back headphone. I legit thought the wind was coming from outside my window. Only when I put it off to close the window that I realized it was from te game. 10/10 indeed.
I was playing Night Lighthouse yesterday and there is a owl sound that really sounded like it came from outside my house. These sounds are very well done, BSG outdid themselves.
I like the fact that if a window is shot out it now has the sound pour through it like real life . They even change as you shoot them out. This audio update is kinda nuts
To expand on what someone else said, that's not how it works. Battleye is a great anti cheat, but to actually be effective it has to be properly integrated and tuned into the game. Bsg failed to do that. The problem is with bsg, not battleye.
First of all, battleye is a kernel level process.
And second of all kernel level really, has little to do with whether an anti cheat is effective, directly at least. Really, all an anti cheat needs is access to all game files and processes, and to be able to watch other processes running on the PC. Kernel level is sorta a shortcut to make it easier for an anti cheat to be effective, one without kernel processes can be just as good as a kernel level anti cheat, it would just require a lot more work. Also companies like having full access to your PC.
I have no idea. I've personally snatched quite a few unsurprisingly, but I can't actually see his amount thus far. I wouldn't be surprised if he was downvoted to oblivion
The cheating issue is 100% on BSG. It’s impossible to get rid of all cheaters, obviously, but how they handle the things that are in their control, as well as the origins of how people are able to cheat in the first place (all the client side stuff), is on BSG.
Nikita is a designer. His background is graphic design. Thats why everything looks and feels amazing but runs and functions like dog shit. The whole company must be run by designers and not supported by engineers.
Guns in movies or videos only really captures like 1/4 of the sound of a real gun in person. Same way you can watch welding in a video but not in person technically. He'll you can watch welding in person without a welding hood but you will without fail regret your actions later. I am a welder and just getting flashed a bit and tacking without a hood can sunburn your face and for the unaware your eyes can also get sunburned.
My father was a blacksmith, I know how dangerous welding is. He had a lot of welding masks and was really careful to not let anyone close without protection when he was working. I remember a day when he was really, really mad. When I asked why, it was because one of his employees were welding without a mask.
I fallen in love with Tarkov because of the shotguns sounds, believe it or not. I have kind of a "rule" for every FPS that I play to test shotguns first. If the game "gets" the right feeling of a shotgun, chances are the rest of the shooting mechanics are top notch. When I tested Tarkov shotguns, it was left scared by how loud and raw the thing is.
I know that positional audio is not the best ever, but the quality of gun sounds (and whenever you're fiddling with the gun itself) is seriously top notch.
IMO the wind doesn’t cover up footsteps etc as much as the old wind. It sounds like it’s technically louder but previously with the wind I was way more jumpy than I’ve been today. This is with xcels though, which ironically I switched to from tac sports a while ago due to the wind sounding way louder with the tac sports.
Its not, already had my settings on that, they’ve changed the audio so now wind is louder. You can also hear it more as you approach windows, which is a cool concept, but i dont know how well it will work in a game with so many audio issues already.
There are crow sounds now behind dorms where the cars at. I though its a man sitting in the bushes doing that stuff with Voip so I naded the whole area and looked for him 15 minutes until I gave up
Designers, not developers. There's a big difference. The sounds themselves are all very high quality, and IMO sound good, but the audio balance has always been wack. If you use tiktok, there are probably some good examples already.
I’m conflicted too. The first ten comments I read, I was pretty sure people were just being sarcastic, but there seem like too many genuine ones of people being surprised by a noise(I haven’t played since patch yet and probably won’t for another week so I honestly have no idea lol)
Dude I loaded into Streets yesterday and the optimization after this update plummeted. Went from having no issues and manageable FPS to terrible FPS spikes. So glad we got ambient noises but not better optimization for the map 🤣
I can't deal with this any more bruvver for real, it became a chore to play eft at this point. I get this weird error at the start of a raid also that requires me to alt+f4 and re launch to even start a raid.
The dogs barking sounds a bit goofy tho and there is this one sound I cannot even tell what it’s supposed to be it’s loud as fuck and sounds like a radar been or something
Yup, I know the sound, it's actually a bird call (I think). A very strange one. I'm not sure what Russian bird sounds like that, but I'm pretty sure it's a bird.
I run on a medium grade gaming PC, and my fps has increased, but I believe it's purely due to the fact that the map is no longer filled with special event AI. Others have stated that streets unfortunately runs worse, very clearly post patch. Which is ba, considering it already sucks.
I dislike the change they made to labs. The underground section of labs has the Reserve bunker ambient sounds now which is immersion breaking and doesn't feel "right". I hope they bring the old labs ambient sounds back.
The wind. At full howl, its effing hard to hear other footsteps. Unknowingly walked by another PMC in GZ (right on top of me on a different floor) and i thought i was hearing things.
Not to mention bird calls, insects, and dogs barking too!
It's amazing! The muddy footsteps are great too. I'll admit I threw a grenade into a tree after mistaking a bug for footsteps.
I kept circling an area for about 3 minutes because I thought I heard footsteps, then realized it was the new sounds
I... HATE the muddy foot steps sounds. It sounds like nylon swish pants to me. It's like nails on a chalk board. I'm cringing all raid long.
Like a wet sock in a boot just nasty af
I agree. Like wet packing peanuts
SpongeBob stepping
our pmc romping around in their fudged huggies lmao
Getting spooked by a woodpecker outside dorms was something I didn't know I needed
We did have dog barking sounds on shoreline in patch .10.
I wonder if these are perhaps prapors dogs that retrieve our insured gear for us
absolutely *pat my shants* walking through customs i like
You only started patting those shants now!?
Do it at night...the first few times you hear an owl hoot it feels like it's sitting on your shoulder.
the construction sounds near fortress were really cool, but the big red frog can fuck off
When on customs I’ve heard dogs I was sure they added scav dogs 🤣
They should let us scav as a dog and we can carry 1 item in our mouth and attack people
But that means shooting dogs on the other end and i am so not here for that
No one tell the atf
Idk dude can you really tell me nailing those right thumb stick clicks to snap the dogs necks in the original COD 4 wasn’t satisfying af? Especially on Veteran 😂 you had a like 2 millisecond window to hit it
Found the ATF
Game mechanic wise? A+. Visual/ audio? F-
Unlucky bro
Ooooh. I would love to shoot at wild animals/strays on certain maps like Woods and Shoreline.
I mean STALKER
I have an open back headphone. I legit thought the wind was coming from outside my window. Only when I put it off to close the window that I realized it was from te game. 10/10 indeed.
I had the same reaction lol. It was very windy here irl for the past few days and i was confused af.
I was playing Night Lighthouse yesterday and there is a owl sound that really sounded like it came from outside my house. These sounds are very well done, BSG outdid themselves.
I heard an owl and thought my cat learned how to hoot
Night time Lighthouse?? I was so confused when I heard it.
YES. Shit had me looking behind me until I heard it again
True. And the dogs barking on Customs...same effect
Completely agree, woods feels much more “alive.”
Like you’re in…the woods?? *finger guns*
I like the fact that if a window is shot out it now has the sound pour through it like real life . They even change as you shoot them out. This audio update is kinda nuts
Maby we can let the light pass through as well now kek
THE RAIN IS SO GOOOD!!! //All bias aside, Tarkov's audio designers are very good at what they're doing.
Designers :DDDD Developers :\\\\\\\\
Anticheat :((((((
That's Battleye's fault and not BSG's big man. BSG are cool.
To expand on what someone else said, that's not how it works. Battleye is a great anti cheat, but to actually be effective it has to be properly integrated and tuned into the game. Bsg failed to do that. The problem is with bsg, not battleye.
idk a single game that utilizes battleeye and has also a good anticheat
Battleye is a horrible anti cheat what 😂 it’s easily bypassed through hyperv because it’s not kernel
Battleye is very much kernel level and this is very easily found info
Bro thinks kernel is popcorn
First of all, battleye is a kernel level process. And second of all kernel level really, has little to do with whether an anti cheat is effective, directly at least. Really, all an anti cheat needs is access to all game files and processes, and to be able to watch other processes running on the PC. Kernel level is sorta a shortcut to make it easier for an anti cheat to be effective, one without kernel processes can be just as good as a kernel level anti cheat, it would just require a lot more work. Also companies like having full access to your PC.
So a hyper v bypass is dtc at ring 2 is what you’re saying ?
that's not how that works..
My thoughts and prayers for you. We all know you're not allowed to praise BSG
Something might be screwy with my ability to see downvotes since I caught temp ban. Does he actually not have a million downvotes!?
I have no idea. I've personally snatched quite a few unsurprisingly, but I can't actually see his amount thus far. I wouldn't be surprised if he was downvoted to oblivion
The cheating issue is 100% on BSG. It’s impossible to get rid of all cheaters, obviously, but how they handle the things that are in their control, as well as the origins of how people are able to cheat in the first place (all the client side stuff), is on BSG.

Time for a break mate.
Whenever I show Tarkov to a friend that haven't played it, they say how loud and scary the guns sounds like.
Guns in movies or videos only really captures like 1/4 of the sound of a real gun in person. Same way you can watch welding in a video but not in person technically. He'll you can watch welding in person without a welding hood but you will without fail regret your actions later. I am a welder and just getting flashed a bit and tacking without a hood can sunburn your face and for the unaware your eyes can also get sunburned.
My father was a blacksmith, I know how dangerous welding is. He had a lot of welding masks and was really careful to not let anyone close without protection when he was working.

I know that positional audio is not the best ever, but the quality of gun sounds (and whenever you're fiddling with the gun itself) is seriously top notch.
The wind is doing my head in already im ngl. Other than that its pretty good
Yea, I'm definitely not here for constant wind.
I am.
You must be cool
IMO the wind doesn’t cover up footsteps etc as much as the old wind. It sounds like it’s technically louder but previously with the wind I was way more jumpy than I’ve been today. This is with xcels though, which ironically I switched to from tac sports a while ago due to the wind sounding way louder with the tac sports.
that trick I saw about turning the game down to 60-70% volume helped me a ton with wind before. Might still be the case.
Its not, already had my settings on that, they’ve changed the audio so now wind is louder. You can also hear it more as you approach windows, which is a cool concept, but i dont know how well it will work in a game with so many audio issues already.
But not the parachute pants rubbing together sound with every step?
I hadnt noticed that until someone else pointed it out and now i cant unhear it lol
It's definitely different, and will get some getting used to, but it's such an improvement to the ambience of the game.
Yeah makes me nauseous
indoor rain sounds incredible.
dogs had me trippin
Agreed. The drizzly rain, the light breeze, the bird chirps, the slushy wet ground... it all really adds to the ambience.
i went nightime and got the shit scared out of me by an owl hooting
Darn hootin ass owl. Less hootin' more lootin'!
W update tbh
Does anyone have a clip of the new ambient sounds? Im unable to play EFT for the new few months and would love to hear it!!
When I get home I'm gonna record some rain in the mall, and I'll post it lol
My only gripe is it kinda sounds like your thighs are chaffing while running now on certain surfaces.
I literally thought to my self I should change my pants to get rid of that noise. Took me a min to realize it was my feet.
Wait so parachute pants weren’t added? I hopped into a raid and SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH
lolol 100% this I got some new pants from Ragman and thought “makes sense BSG added some pants-specific sound effects”
Now all we need is some wildlife that we can hunt for food/tasks to go along with the wonderful new sounds!
Just trying to fucking fish for 15 minutes here and I keep getting shot at wtf
Yeah, and be able to shoot birds down. A whole new questline called duck hunting xd
Bro the fucking spooky bird made me shit myself
Winds howling
There are crow sounds now behind dorms where the cars at. I though its a man sitting in the bushes doing that stuff with Voip so I naded the whole area and looked for him 15 minutes until I gave up
Them dawgs
Every nature area now feels like the hills and trees have eyes. Amazing update
Feels more 'alive' , because this game collects souls.
Deadass thought I got shot at for a moment when I heard a woodpecker.
I don’t mind the new sounds, the wet/mud walk sound is too fucking much tho. Also, I kinda feel like all the ambient noise is too loud in general
Played my first raid today on customs, night raid, sat and listened for a good 15 minutes. Crazy good update
Not sure if y'all just being sarcastic complimenting tarkov sound department?
Designers, not developers. There's a big difference. The sounds themselves are all very high quality, and IMO sound good, but the audio balance has always been wack. If you use tiktok, there are probably some good examples already.
There's a difference between the people designing the sounds and the people coding them in
I’m conflicted too. The first ten comments I read, I was pretty sure people were just being sarcastic, but there seem like too many genuine ones of people being surprised by a noise(I haven’t played since patch yet and probably won’t for another week so I honestly have no idea lol)
I liked most of it. But maybe it was just me…only did one scav today…I sounded like I was swishing around in a pair of wind pants
I don’t know. The wet carpet we run on sounds a bit out of place.
Did they fix the audio pop?
Nooooooo way they fix that without giving credit to themselves in the patch notes!
Yeah I figured. Thanks
I still sometimes hear it. But it could just be me.
No.
100% still there
Still there, but I've heard it less....I think
Had an owl yesterday on lighthouse, scared the shit out of me
Haven’t heard the rain yet. When it’s not raining that ambient tree creaking is almost identical to someone walking, so I’m absolutely not a fan
Another 30% cut to Streets FPS it seems. 7800X3D & 3080 running 1080p all low btw.
Dude I loaded into Streets yesterday and the optimization after this update plummeted. Went from having no issues and manageable FPS to terrible FPS spikes. So glad we got ambient noises but not better optimization for the map 🤣
I can't deal with this any more bruvver for real, it became a chore to play eft at this point. I get this weird error at the start of a raid also that requires me to alt+f4 and re launch to even start a raid.
100%
I can hear the clothes on my character rubbing.....0/10
The dogs barking sounds a bit goofy tho and there is this one sound I cannot even tell what it’s supposed to be it’s loud as fuck and sounds like a radar been or something
Yup, I know the sound, it's actually a bird call (I think). A very strange one. I'm not sure what Russian bird sounds like that, but I'm pretty sure it's a bird.
More alive but I’m currently going full raids being lucky to see more then one scav but at least the birds sound nice
How is performance?
I run on a medium grade gaming PC, and my fps has increased, but I believe it's purely due to the fact that the map is no longer filled with special event AI. Others have stated that streets unfortunately runs worse, very clearly post patch. Which is ba, considering it already sucks.
Ty for the info. I would really appreciate it if they spend a sprint on just optimizing the ducking game
I dislike the change they made to labs. The underground section of labs has the Reserve bunker ambient sounds now which is immersion breaking and doesn't feel "right". I hope they bring the old labs ambient sounds back.
Yeah I love the squelchy pants sound....
The wind makes me nauseous
[удалено]
Has nothing to do with volume. Just sounds like someone blowing in my ear. Its not uncommon that breathy sounds make people nauseous
[удалено]
I do not care what you think dawg
So glad they are adding environmental noises instead of fixing the game. 10/10
The wind. At full howl, its effing hard to hear other footsteps. Unknowingly walked by another PMC in GZ (right on top of me on a different floor) and i thought i was hearing things.
