Xbox One Party Chat is preventing me from talking to players in proximity chat
New, ImmediatePublic

Description

I was playing with a friend earlier on Xbox One, we were walking on the shore trying to meet up with each other but during my time walking i've had 2 separate encounters with 2 separate people that both tried to speak with me.

I was able to hear both of them speak to me but when I tried to speak with them they could not hear me at all despite me holding down the push to talk button.

I was on the shore in between Svetloyarsk and the Lumber Mill/Berezino

Before beginning to play the game I had the game suspended for an hour or two, and I joined the Party Chat during the game being suspended and was in the Party Chat before joining the server via an invite from my friend.

You have to switch from party chat to game chat via the xbox party chat screen. Game chat and party cannot be used at same time. It is normal behavior to be able to hear other players but not speak while in xbox party chat
