- Repro Rate Every play
- Game Platform Steam
- Input Mode Keyboard and mouse
Ever since the update, the sound balancing is very uneven. Swapping back to Original does not fix it; some tool sounds are incredibly loud and others are the pre-update levels. I’ve tried adjusting the audio a few different ways but changing the jarring loud sounds makes others impossible to hear. Example: breaking a rock is at max volume while the audio for talking to someone is still soft. Using the scythe and axe are particularly bad offenders
I’ve got almost 400 hours in the game and I’ve barely touched it since the update because it’s triggering migraines and tinnitus. I’ve got a few other neurodivergent friends and warned them against the update because I’ve yet to find a way to balance the sound where everything is audible without occasionally blasting my ear drums. I’ve almost given up at this point and just turned my game audio to zero to listen to something else, but I really don’t want to do that because then I can’t hear game cues
I’ve reverted to original and restarted my game to no success. No matter what I do, the new sound effects play at (or what feels like above) max volume while the older sounds maintain their original balancing. My game is updated to the latest version
ETA: I’ve been told that changing to original should fix it but it does not
