Bug #3738

Complete Absence of Environmental Reverb in 10.0.0 PTB Build

Status:	Under Investigation
Priority:	Critical
Added by:	lightedred on May 26, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.0 | Jason PTB Patch Notes
Actual Result:	Zero environmental audio processing is applied game-wide. All active sounds lack reverb, making the entire game sound completely flat and acoustically broken.
Expected Result:	The audio engine should process active sound layers through the map's reverb zones, providing realistic acoustic echo.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Here is a twitch clip from Scott jund where the scream audio from jane sounds too dry across the map normally when it was supposed to echo throughout the entire map https://www.twitch.tv/scottjund/clip/GlamorousWittyTofuShadyLulu-qAIjDM_xty1kSCrj

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch the current 10.0.0 PTB build.
2. Load into a match as ANY character (Killer or Survivor).
3. Load into ANY map (indoor or outdoor but indoors will be more distinct).
4. Perform various audio-generating actions
5. Listen to the audio and observe the complete absence of environmental reverb.

Explanation

There is a critical, game-wide acoustic failure in the current 10.0.0 PTB build.
The environmental reverb is completely gone across ALL maps. Every audio cue such as footsteps and character grunts sounds completely flat and dry. There's nearly zero acoustic bouncing anywhere. I have reported similar bugs previously but this has gotten worse on the current PTB so hopelly this is not a duplicate report.
