THE GAME WILL PERSISTENTLY CRASH UNLESS YOU MOVE THE HRTF FOLDER UP! I do not know why it works like this, no other game has this problem. Thanks to [ J ] Man for this info.
This is Resident Evil 4 HD Ultimate Edition with X3DAudio HRTF [IRC_1037 tables]. I'm running the remastered textures with the tweaks (+20 FOV). I waited many years to finally play this game with 3D audio. I always knew it used the right .dll, but the X3DAudio HRTF wrapper did not work with it. While it was finally updated about a year ago, the uploader deleted everything. Now it only exists now through forks. Thanks to @3DJ for this fork and recommending the resampler fix.
So how is it? Was it worth the wait? Hell no. This has to be one of the biggest disappointments I've ever encountered on the channel. I was actually going to make this the Halloween video, but I decided to quickly try to find a suitable replacement. The problem is, almost none of the sounds are actually spatialized. You can clearly hear at 0:45 that the enemy footsteps are in mono and aren't even remotely accurate to where the enemies are.
The few that are spatialized don't even sound that great. Axes at least sound semi-convincing, as do the fish, but it's too little to really be worth the effort. I really should've known from the PCGW page that warned about poor surround support, but it's still crushing. Also I apologize to anyone who wanted to see further into the game, I just happen to like this specific setpiece and it's not like you'd hear better audio later in the game.
HRTF grade:
D (most sounds not spatialized)
Settings:
Windows Control Panel: Stereo
