Description

Symptoms

Missing 3D Effect from Audio. Noticeable on Gunshots & AI Voices

Reproduction

So this is kinda weird i used Proton GE for a quite some time. When the update came (for Proton GE Latest)
from Proton GE 10-34 to Proton GE 11-1 the issue occurred for the first time.
Back then i was able to switch back to GE-10-34 and everything got back to normal but today i have tested GE11 again and since then i can switch to any version without getting 3D audio/directional audio back.

Comment

Serverity: High

It makes Multiplayer unplayable as you have no orientation

Fix Attempts

  • Complete Reinstall

  • Removal of compatdata (on every proton version test attempt)

  • Tested on Headphones and Stereo Speaker Devices
    (also tested different ingame settings => Headphones / Speaker)

Tested versions:

Proton-GE Latest
GE-Proton10-34
GE-Proton11-1
Proton 11.0
Proton 10.0-4
Proton Hotfix
Proton Experimental

with no success.


This might sound like a Proton Issue but since both Proton and Proton-GE have viewed this issue with no result or reaction there might be an optimization done by bohemia wich have caused this. I am aware that this issue might just not be an bohemia issue tho it is game breaking
This issue makes the game unplayable because using audio clues to determine the direction and distance of shots is vital in arma

    To be clear, I am grasping at straws to find a solution because this issue makes Arma Reforger unplayable.

    Hello.
    Linux client is not oficially supported so unless this issue appears on Windows which is supported on our end there is nothing we can do to help.

    Issue solved

    I switched from winepulse.drv (PulseAudio/PipeWire) to winealsa.drv (ALSA), and that fixed the directional audio (3d audio) issue.

    Enter in Terminal:

    protontricks 1874880 sound=alsa


    In case you don't have protontricks installed:

    WINEPREFIX=/[path to your steam]/steamapps/compatdata/1874880/pfx winetricks sound=alsa


    no other steps needed.
