Voice Chat Issue

Does anyone else find that voice chat works really really nicely for about 5 minutes then completely stops working?

We have experienced some other players having the similar problems. One was that their sound completely stopped working in the game. No sounds effects, no music, nothing.

We need to know what percentage of people are having this problem of it suddenly not working after a while.

OK, first impressions .

The technology behind this is excellent . Its easy to use , the audio quality is 10/10 , and it adds a whole new dimension to vo . Get a headset , use it , enjoy .

second impressions;

The audio chat group system needs to be implemented : I know that you have committed to this , when it happens it will be awesome . Think also about private audio chat , guild audio chat , channel selective audio chat , hail chat.

It is a big step forward , lets see it get used to maximum advantage .

Im unable to hear or speak on voice chat. I'm on OS x.5.3 using a USB mic input. The mic works, but nadda hearing or speaking.

Looks like it's because of the trial account. Works now that I resubbed. Bastards, keep on taking my moeny!

heh.

We don't restrict based on subscription status, but that thought has come up.

Well you must, because once I paid up my sub, it immediately worked.

I am having trouble getting the button I assigned to stay assigned. I go into the voice chat menu and check the push to talk and it doesnt remember when I close it off. The only way Ive been able to keep push to talk active is to go into the consol ` and type a lua comman I aquired from Denji. Am I missing something in what im doing in the menu or do I need to do something else?

Naw, the Push to talk option is reset when leaving the menu, cos its broken, many bug reports have been sent about this, but for now you can enable it in the console. I cannot remember for the life in me the correct command, but its something like /lua VoiceChat.PTTenable(true)

(can a mod edit this if it is not correct, I've only used it once, and that was while in a nation war)
