Missing sound effects

The Steam version's CondemnedA.Arch00 is noticeably smaller when compared to the retail game. Because of this, and reversed audio files within the .Arch00 file, many sounds are simply missing from the Steam version. In particular, the train sounds at the end of Chapter 3 are missing.[1]
