Turn up your volume and use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. I'm playing this with v1.0005 downgrade, Zone Reclamation Project 1.09 XR3a (_ZRP.cfg), the optional ZRP sound fix, Shaders MAX, and the 90FOV patch for vanilla+ gameplay.

This is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl with EAX reverb effects ported from OGSE and OpenAL Soft's HRTF (IRC_1037). I did this as an experiment after someone named "Lowpro18" mentioned it was possible to port OGSE's new reverb to Call of Chernobyl (the sandbox mod). Unfortunately, I stumbled upon a problem where I couldn't get EAX working in CoC with DSOAL, only my X-Fi card. After a back-and-forth with martin.kosecky5, I learned that the way to get DSOAL working in these games is with the -dsound launch parameter, not "Generic Hardware" like in other OpenAL games.

To my dismay, Call of Chernobyl removed the -dsound launch parameter. In any case, here's Shadow of Chernobyl with OGSE's EAX effects ported in. I'm very rusty due to being used to the Call of Pripyat/Chernobyl engine, not to mention this was an older experimental save where I skipped the first mission to see what would happen. You can even see me put my items inside corpses instead of taking theirs due to being used to reading left-to-right.

$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata
