I am a female with a soft voice. I use push-to-talk. Since 1.17 it either doesn’t pick it up or it breaks off. I have tried turning mic settings up and it still breaks off. Never had this problem before 1.17 and has tested fine on other applications. I have spoken with 6 other female players who are affected also.
Voice quality in general (including for male players) has also been worse overall, with cutting out. I notice this myself, and from DayZ streams.
I know there were changes to voice in 1.17. I do not know what is causing this, but it means I can not play the game anymore.
