VOIP - Open Mic Issues (0.61)
New, NormalPublic

Description

Noticed during recent game play while using the in game VOIP that the if you left the mic open (ie double tap "Caps Lock") the VOIP functionality failed after a short period of time. Turning the open mic off and then using VOIP only while holding the Caps Lock button down restored functionality.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Meet another player in game
  2. Strike up a conversation
  3. Hit the "Caps Lock" button twice to enable open mic
  4. Converse
  5. After a short period of time (I am uncertain as to how long it was, perhaps ~5 mins or so) the VOIP functionality failed and the other player was unable to hear me. Confirmed by communicating via in game messages.
  6. Hit "Caps Lock" button once more to disable open mic
  7. Depress and hold "Caps Lock" button to temporarily enable open mic
  8. Converse with other player
  9. Player confirmed that they could hear me once more.

I didnt try enabling open mic again and the server crashed shortly after this happened. I did not meet up with this player again unfortunately to test again.

Additional Information

This occurred only the one time and I have not had other in game conversations with other players to attempt this again.

Also, i don't believe the other player was ignoring me or deliberately trolling me.

Same for me. Also, my text messages are not reaching them.
Relogging fixes the issue.
I will try to switch from open mic to push to talk, to see if that fixes it
