Enable EAX

Modify configuration file[1]
  • Open <path-to-game>\quality_control.ini with a text editor.
  • Change the following lines to read as follows:

EAX_support=1
3D_sound=1

  • Save and close the file.

Notes

3D sound support is broken; sounds are played at maximum volume as soon as the player is within hearing range.

Issues fixed

Game runs slow

The game occasionally fails to detect the number of CPU cores when it uses technology like Intel's Hyperthreading, resulting in poor performance.
Manually set Max Voxel Threads[1]
  1. From the game's launcher, click on "Settings".
  2. From the window which appears, click on the "Advanced" tab.
  3. Click on the menu next to Max Voxel Threads and select the number which represents the number of logical CPU cores the computer has.
  4. Click "OK".
