1.66 Audio issues with selfs positional footsteps and other units footsteps
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

With the introduction of the 1.66 update, positional audio for your own footsteps have been out of place. They sound to be coming from behind you when in 1st person camera, and sound to be coming from or just behind the camera in 3rd person. This results in disorientation and constantly mistaking your characters own footsteps with those of other units.

Along with this issue, footsteps of other units have become greatly muted in volume. In some cases the sound of a units equipment moving on their body is more audible than the units footsteps.

This happens to me and the people i play with, it happens when running on grass, floor and rocks in Tanoa at least. I have not noticed it in jungle terrain.
We all have different headphones so this is an audio issue with the game.

They already fixed that in dev branch, pre hotfix.

But they did't include it in the hotfix, so we have to play with this issue and another i rose for about two months i'm afraid!!!
