Echo Bug

[ShadowHunter291]

Whenever I host a game, players complain of an annoying sound echo bug. I don't have this problem, nor did I do anything (intentionally) to make the echo happen. Any advice?

That is weird. I've had that echo on a modern warfare campaign. When I replied, the creator did not seem to know what I was talking about. I've never seen this happen online, though.

If this is what I think it is, then this isn't a computer tech issue. This is a known Warcraft 3 bug.

The problem comes from, if I recall correctly, the Dungeon sound environment alongside certain sound settings. Switching to "Miles Emulated 3D" Fixes the bug for the player (Again, if I recall correctly), but the bug can also be fixed in the map by not using the offending sound environment. (Set in Scenario Properties in the editor, yet again, if I recall correctly.)

Okay that makes sense, I didnt think of the sound environments at all! I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Edit: Well I didn't use specifically the dungeon sound, but I did use an environment sound. Gonna turn it off and observe results.

Does it have something to do with having EAX enabled and a certain environment the map uses that renders such reverb?

A map that ALWAYS has this bug is Wintermaul Midnight. It alternates between this crazy reverb and no sound at all. It's strange.
