Introducing CrySpatial: Your 3D Audio Solution

CrySpatial is our cutting-edge 3D audio technology, implemented in 2019 specifically for Hunt. This spatial audio solution employs Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) to provide players with accurate sound positioning, allowing you to discern sounds coming from behind, above, or below.

How to Experience the Best Sound!

For the ultimate audio experience, follow these simple steps: 1. Use **stereo headphones**. 2. Activate CrySpatial in the Audio Settings (accessible during missions or from the main menu) and hit "Apply". 3. Disable any other audio enhancements or surround sound settings on your system.

Why Can CrySpatial Be Disabled?

While CrySpatial's filters enhance audio for most players, everyone’s ears are unique. Customizing your audio settings allows you to find what works best for you. With Hunt's latest update, we now support various spatial audio systems like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for even more flexibility.

What Happens Without CrySpatial?

Turning off CrySpatial without activating another spatial audio solution means you’ll revert to basic stereo sound. This can hinder your ability to locate sounds accurately while playing, so we strongly recommend using a spatial audio solution for the best gameplay experience.

Optimal In-Game Settings for Stereo Headphones

To fully enjoy the audio design, set your in-game Audio Settings as follows: - **Audio Configuration**: Headphones - **CrySpatial**: On Give yourself some time to adjust to the audio processing if you're new to Hunt.

Surround Sound and CrySpatial: What You Should Know

While we recommend using stereo headphones, players with surround sound setups can enjoy Hunt in 5.1 or 7.1 surround by selecting ‘Speakers’ in audio settings. Just remember, this disables CrySpatial to optimize your surround experience.

Avoiding Audio Enhancement Overload!

Be cautious with additional sound enhancements. Virtualization effects can conflict with CrySpatial's processing, leading to distorted audio. Use caution with EQ settings, as they can produce unexpected results.
