Explanation

Complete absence of audio reverb makes all screams and grunts sound flat and dull.

Sound design is a major factor in gaming experience, and DBD is no different. Under normal circumstances, dying state screams and hook screams should have proper echoing, especially on indoor maps.

But in the current patch, and since 10.0.0, this is entirely gone. The screams of all characters on all maps are now very flat and dull. This is very noticeable when playing Survivor.

Here is one example of this happening on Midwich:
