Hi,
Just a real quick question, about to play Thief and Thief 2 through again under Win7 with the latest patches and I want that EAX goodness since it adds a lot of atmosphere.
Could someone compare EAX under OpenAL, to EAX using Alchemy? Are they the same, are there effects missing using OpenAL? Also how do they compare to native EAX under WinXP.
Many thanks.

openal under vista/7 is essentially the same as DS3D under XP.
Alchemy translates DS3D EAX to openal, and often not very well.
Use openal.
