No Reverb in Far Cry

No Reverb in Far Cry

I feel pretty stupid for asking this but... Far Cry DOES support EAX, right? It is supposed to use EAX 2.0, and yet I experience no reverb at all in the game. At the start for example, the sewer system has no echo at all, and neither do the caves etc, later in the game. I am wondering whether or not I have configured my Audigy 2 ZS and Logitech Z-680's correctly. I have downloaded the latest driver and app updates from Creative, my speakers are set up for "Six Channel Direct" mode, I have the latest version of DirectX, as well as Far Cry's 1.1 patch. I have also turned off all EAX effects in the "EAX Control Panel" as well as contacted Creative a number of times. Any suggestions? Mustang I'm looking at you .

Hello? Is anybody there?

I should probably mention that I also have no reverb in JKA, but I seem to in JK2.

Why are you looking at me for? Im still running off an SB Live!

My best guess is a lazy sound designer couldn't be arsed implementing a reverb effect in the caves. I can't say I recall any sound delay in those levels.

this probably deserves its own topic, but i just started one about UT2004 so it would be exesive, Is farCry ather wise good, the demo I played was exelent. teh grapics look great, and the game play was hard but once you got the hang incrediby fun.

Neo - Exactly what don't you understand?

Mustang - Oh. Fair enough, but the SBLive doesn't support EAX 2.0 anyway. I don't have reverb in JKA or KOTOR either. I seem to in JK2 though. This is driving me bloody nuts!!?!?!

ff - I'll try that, but Creative haven't been much help and they are supposed to be the "experts" (hacks ).

Thanks BE. Not only is your post completely un-related to my topic, but you have created a topic on it that has already been done before by AoD. Do not tempt my wrath!

Well, rather than explain all of it, what are your questions?
