I just read over the patch notes. Apparently they have removed the party voice chat function while they try to figure it out.

It's not just limited to party though. It's lobby, team, everywhere AFAICT.

I'm fairly certain that "part chat" is a blanket term referring to all chat functions.

good communication (voice chat or voice server) - its a big part of succes!
you just must see real games... broadcast games...

Dear meteor, how long does it take to fix a buggy VoIP system_

[neo0031]

Actually, last night marked the first time I spoke on mic in Hawken, Was working for me upon asking others if it was working and if I can be heard, then others started talking too. Was all fun until a troll came along and called me cancer. lol

...AND bump. Since this issue comes and goes too often. Or rather, it's almost 1/10 of the time voice works.

Fix this please. I want to spam my comrades with witty comments, God damn it.

Today, I've utilizated the in-game VO/IP system without any problem. And yesterday too.. no issues with it here at my end.

Mostly on the UK region. No issues today (at least for now).

*Bump* I still have this issue, as do several people on my friends list.

[Charcoal]

I am still affected by this, so BUMP

[Spliff_Craven]

Me too. I use TeamSpeak personally But in game VOIP is preferred for pugs and I don't want to give out my TS channel to the world either...

[zorin1]

The in-game voice chat stopped working for me as soon as a muted some dumb ass that was talking smack.  I only heard one person one other time in a game since then.

This issue is back for me. My voice chat will work for a short while, then either stop working.  Few of my friends are having the same issue.

Vivox voice service.

Secondlife uses it, and its /crashy as hell/. it quietly, silently crashes in the background and then never recovers, never re-runs its process,  doesn't leave log traces, crash logs or notice that its even having a problem, nothing.

In SL you have to trick the client into re-starting the voice system by going through some song and dance in the options window, which starts vivox for 'testing' your headset/mic.. and then it stays running. But it could crash at any moment, randoly, even when not in use. how do you know its crashed_ Because everybody around you suddenly falls silent.

This is the root of the problem, I garantee it.

oh, and bump, I have this problem too it seems! I thought voip was disabled in this game, lololol_

Edit:
I was curious if a similar fix might work for Hawken.. so I went to steamappscommonHawkenBinariesWin32 and found VivoxVoiceService.exe and started it before I started hawken. When I was in hawken, I went to the sound options, and the voice 'test' button actualy let me hear myself..

No idea yet if it actually works in game yet. but I kept an eye on the process while I played the game for a while, and it stuck around without issue. But so far I have not heard anybody speaking.

Edit 2:
It worked, for a while. People could hear me and i could hear other people. but after a match or two, it stopped working again. Killing and restarting the vivox program didn't bring the functionality back, it likely only works when its started before the game is started.. so..

yeah, its buggered. :/

If the voip is bugging up for everyone, I am not surprised you are not hearing anyone.  some word back from the devs on this issue after all this time would be nice.  I mean, this has been an ongoing issue for about half a year.

[Martock]

Hey forum mods and devs. Any answer as to when this might be fixed_ Over 6 months is a long time for one issue.  Just sayin.

[Meraple]

Mweh, nobody's hearing me in the post-match screen as well.
My stuff works in ALL other games and software I have, so no BS of it being the fault of my equipment please.

I also haven't heard ANYONE talk in-game for a very long time.
I do sometimes see the VOIP sign at somebody's name, but there's no sound coming out.

Tbh it's getting kindof annoying.

[The_Silencer]

AFAIK, when the icon isn't shown then the in-game VO/IP is not working. I've seen this happening during my games today -and IIRC also yesterday at least once..
