Voice chat in game

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Voice chat always worked until last night when playing with friends. I run the server , so, nothing is different with that. Voice chat just wasn't working. I would get the little microphone icon , but, it was not green as it usually is. Anyone else having trouble with this? We have all checked our settings. Nothing changed or muted. Could this be a problem with Gamespy?

As an alternate plan, I was wondering if it was possible to run something like Skype in the background and be able to speak through that during the game. Any solutions would be welcome.

The voice chat does go through Gamespy, so that's a reasonable guess as to the cause.

Thanks for the replies. I sort of had the notion in my head that Gamespy was the cause. I wish Epic would dump them. I'll check into Teamspeak.

At the Sniper Inn, during clan events, we always use Teamspeak and it works great. Due to the inability to control foul language we actually have a mod to disable in game chat. We use the Titan chat filter for foul text.
