Muffled sound

[nogaems]

This was on Tolstoj, if that makes any difference.

Bug:

Sound stayed muffled for the entire level past the events that caused it.

What I was doing:

Running away from a hull breach in a certain room. The air vented and my shield was draining.

What happened next:

Got hit into low health (125 -> 60) but that melee Grenier dude with the spark baton thing.

This is when the sound bugged out, I believe. My sound went all muffled I ASSSUME becuase the hull breach was fixed just as I got hit below half health.

Air is required to transport sound. With air vented, the sound is muffled. Go to a console, hack the blast shields, and you will have clear sound again.

I never noticed this. Looks like the game designers thought everything to make the game as complex and realistic as possible.

Oh? That's interesting, but last time it happened just going a few rooms away was fine. I guess the whole place might have vented, then?

Still doesn't explain why I couldn't hear her voice. Perhaps that's another bug (or perforated eardrums!)
