Today (7/24/2026) I applied the recent patch, and immediately my game sound is hollow / tinny. It even makes my ears feel annoyed and makes me question whether I want to play. Anyone know what happened? Or how I can improve it? I appreciate those who make the game better and keep it alive with patches, but ... i guess no good deed goes unpunished.

For speakers users, be sure you set AutoHRTF to False in ut2004.ini.
HRTF is only good/makes sens if you use headphones.
