Sound after Patch?

Such as your case you noted in your previous post.
And the funniest thing about that is...you're making the assumption that they changed their settings...
I haven't played GM since the patch, but from what I can tell by this thread more then 1 person is having the same problem...an once again the fanboys are denying it flat out because their so pro it doesn't matter. Remember that bug where everyone was lagging (EVERYONE...)? I can remember some MOD shutting down like 8 threads saying it was the users networks and it was their problem and not the company...until his ignorant ass logged in and saw rooms disconnecting and the servers crashing 8-10 times and hour... -

yes plz id also like some news as to what is going to be done. I have not played GR much since the patch because of this Q_Q -

I'm sure this thread has gotten views from at least some mods. Please continue to post.. I'd like for GM Saiden to put in his inquiry on the subject matter. -
I'm more curious what you people plan to do if this is a permanent change.
I for one have no problem, so either I adapt far better than most in this thread or there's something else at work with this 'issue'. I'm able to continue playing GM normally.
Guess for the rest of you its going to be a fun learning curve to get used to. -
may of found the problem.
when i play ghost mode matches, i use an 8 channel set up (channels activate mini speakers in your ear cup) which is like a virtual surround sound in your headphones. it has a great range but isn't (and never was) very sharp for pinpointing. After the patch, i found no noticeable changes after doing some testing with 2 computers.
the other setting i used to pub with is a 2 channel set up. it was incredibly easy to pinpoint any non moving ghost with 1 bullet. (but the range with not quite as far as 8CH, so i've always used 8CH) After this patch, i noticed it is hella hard to pinpoint with it now.
so some people are affected and some are not. my only theory is people using 8CH don't notice anything new. people with 2ch (maybe also called stereo?) are having big problems. some headset users may also have 4ch and 6ch etc. both of which i didn't bother testing.
so here are your option solutions:
1) practice: when i started using 8ch for the first time it was incredibly hard to pinpoint, like many players now. After a couple weeks it became fairly easy. (Although there is no guarantee practice will or could cure this problem)
2) buy a modern/expensive headset: since my 8ch has no changes after the patch. this will cure the problem by throwing money down. or if you already use an 8ch headset, make the switch from 2ch.
3) wait for a patch fix: it is not clear if this is a bug or permanent change. work on your BL in the meantime
and the other problems/changes people have mentioned: i briefly tested.
longer breath delay: it seemed delayed a little bit.. but so was the knife sound when i slashed which indicates it was most likely a latency problem (since i was using 2 computers on 1 network) my guess is there has been no added delay.
bunny hopping: no noticeable changes.
ping instability: no noticeable changes. must be you
lowered FPS: most likely due to the font change, search for the thread on how to get the old one back.
Silent guns are louder: no changes in range or loudness. but this problem deals with equalizers and every one uses different settings. so for others, it could be a problem. guns for me were always loud. -
How do we change from a 2CH to a 8CH ?
well you need to have a headset that supports it. they are generally higher end/expensive ones.
i can only tell you how to do it with the steel series siberia v2 or perhaps logitech g35 because they are the only ones i own. there should be an option on the audio software you installed for your headset/soundcard

hold on if this is meant to be permanent then there was no such information told before the patch and this would cause problems for the current people that have them and who is going to buy expensive headphones for a problem which is not there's and wasn't there before the patch -

There's lots of things not said in the patch notes. And they have been happening for ages. Not all changes are known to the publishers. They don't make the game after all.
For example, when Hero Mode was released, grenades when they exploded near you shook your screen. Before then, it didn't. But again, was never noted in the patch notes.
Plus, they aren't required to tell you. -

all surround sound 8 channel headsets i've looked have a usb connection. last time I had usb headphones, I couldnt adjust the EQ. -

This is a good example.
We are aware of these reported changes, Ghost Mode is a mode that is very sensitive to changes, users are dedicated and notice subtle things.
We're in the process of determining the nature of these changes (on purpose or bugs). We hope to have some concrete information for you soon.
Note that the QA process for this patch went through some changes. Changes which will be good for the longevity of the game and will be good for the quality. But this patch suffered from a transition period and could have been tested better. It was released because there were no critical errors, however we know that these things like this don't look good for anyone. We want to have them fixed as soon as possible! Just try and be patient thanks! -

So I was testing the sound out in a private room and believe it or not, it is easier to pinpoint with your back facing the ghost. Almost how it was before the patch....
with my xfi soundcard settings, i went to the surround sound and changed the speaker output to make it only come out the back.. and behold, pinpointing suddenly got easier.
It's like z8 switched up what you're supposed to hear in front of you to behind you...
Confusing.. I know -

TY for the response nice to know that you are looking in to it for us
Another thing I'm wondering about tho. As I mentioned earlier I tried another version to see if there really was a difference and also noticed that in this other version you can hear when people jump which I found strange because I had never even known other version had that. Wondering if we are supposed to have that or you/g4 elected not to have this option? -

do u mean when they just jump and land or on about jumping on to boxes and iteams -

Needless to say that would only get more people to rage:
"It's destroyed the purpose of bunnyhopping! This is BS!"
"You took away the only useful attempt at stealth GR had, GJ."
And similar responses.
I personally don't look forward to it's arrival.
