Switching Between Game Chat and Xbox Party Chat
New, UrgentPublic

Description

Xbox Version 63.148707

I have tried to move from Xbox party chat to Game Chat while staying in an Xbox party by going through Xbox menu after latest update.

When our Xbox party all switched to game chat via Xbox menu and then double pressed down on D pad so the mike icon shows in HUD we were still not able to go into game chat. This only worked if our party backed out of a server and entered a new server while staying in game chat in the Xbox menu. When we entered the new server we were in game chat after pressing down on D pad and could her each other through speakers in game proximity mode. This was very complicated and forced us to server jump which is not what we wanted to do.

There needs to be an reliable and easy way to switch between Xbox party chat and game chat.

Steps To Reproduce

While in an Xbox party and Xbox party chat have your Xbox party try to switch to game chat by holding the main glowing Xbox button to bring up in game menu. Scroll down to highlight your party then an option comes up to switch into game chat by pressing on the small menu button on the controller (small button just on bottom left from the large glowing Xbox controller button).

Then double press down on D pad to show HUD microphone icon. You can not go into game chat.

As a workaround our party left the server and rejoined another server while staying in game chat in the Xbox menu. At this point we entered the new server and pressed down on D pad and our party was in game chat.
