Sword Hits are No Longer Muffled (Next-Gen Update)

Sword hits are no longer muffled! (Next-Gen Problem)

Note 11th July: I've just recently released my Audio Remaster Mod which this fix is a part of! It's my rework of the mix of the game that I personally prefer over the vanilla. It's now easier to hear dialogue, and the music volume dynamically adapts depending on what state Geralt is in (Exploration, Quest, Combat etc.). Still a work in progress so I'm very excited to hear what you think of it!

Description:

By looking in the WWise project, it seems that sword hits against certain materials (Often animals), have a lowpass effect applied to it. I've removed this low pass effect, which means the sword hits are no longer muffled in the Next-Gen Update.

Sidenote:

I'm a Technical Sound Designer from Sweden, having worked with WWise a fair share. Thanks to the guide by Guido Ignacio Fazzito, and some tinkering in the final stage, I've got full access to the WWise project of TW3 with build capabilities. This means I can introduce audio changes into the game itself. So now the possibilities are endless!
