Notes
- ↑ On Windows (Windows 10 Pro 1909 at least), with Dolby Atmos (Version 3.20402.409 of 2019-04-26 at least) in its default "Music" mode, directional audio may not work as expected. Speaker's voices fade in and out seemingly at random, making it next to impossible to follow dialogue. It sounds as if Artyom has a hearing problem. One solution is to switch Atmos to "Games" mode (translated from "Spiele" in German).
