| Surround sound | Game is advertised as supporting surround sound; however, surround sound support is heavily broken and results in background music only playing out of the front-left speaker. Only workaround is to set windows speaker settings to Stereo before playing, resulting in at least functional Stereo sound, all the game supports.[10][11] | |
