Poperon Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I don't know if Vivox is actually a good feature, or a bad one... 3rd party voice programs are far better, Teamspeak, Ventrilo, Discord, whatever else... even Skype i guess.
yolande Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Not a great idea to push the Engine 3.5 update cause of a voice-chat feature that hasn't been working for years, and nobody really uses it anymore. There's much better voice options for gamers out there like Discord/Teamspeak/Vent, even if it was working, I don't understand why would anyone choose the in-game voip instead of those programs. After-all, I think we all agree that it should be fixed but at the same time, we've been waiting for the engine upgrade for 4 years now, and it kept getting pushed,pushed and pushed by simply small features that can be fixed after it's implemented. Don't make your community wait longer, and just listen to the majority.
AxeTurboAgresor Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I like voip a lot, and I use it a lot to talk, taunt, or just scream at ppl, so I was kinda sad to find out that nobody can hear my beautiful voice. It may add so much fun to the game so I disagree that it should be completely removed, but we are all waiting for eu for so long already, I d rather play without voip to get our very awaited eu sooner.

Clandestine Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 There was always something more important than 3.5. Now we have 2018 instead of 2014
kukki Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 This would be a terrible error in judgement, nobody cares about vivox, nobody uses it, as it was never reliable nor convenient enough to choose it over other VoIP services. There is close to nothing you can put ahead of engine upgrade that community wouldn't mind and, frankly, this looks like a smokescreen to hide some problems with the upgrade to me.
MattScott Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 Hi all, I have updated the main post. I recieved word that Vivox feels they can recreate our servers and have them back online for all platforms (possibly) by the weekend without any changes from us. Thanks, Matt 5 4
Fortune Runner Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Do console users have a means to communicate other than the VoIp service? 1
Caisey Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Never used it in all those years. Never worked for me also.
TheHidden-Tember Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 meanwhile I never managed to get voice chat to work properly on PC

I'd say put it to the side for now, since the process will take a while. The engine upgrade is far more important. Most players just use 3rd party voice comms anyway, such as discord, teamspeak etc. If you still want to fix it, do it after the engine, if possible. dat.Also can u separate main game sound from voip in diferent tracks so we can decrease volume of game without volume of voip cause theyr conected right now.U touchin it right now anyway
Ketog Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 im pretty sure less than 5% of the PC playerbase uses vivox , i honestly think pretty much anyone would rather have vivox disabled to have 3.5 first , then have that fixed . i don't know about the console version tho ...

McRabbiton Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Who uses voicechat exept the guys using it on social district to troll or annoy people? And why should a new system be integrated before the engine upgrade? I mean. There are way better options than Vivox.... or better options to implement vivox
CookiePuss Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Seems no one reads Matt's posts. Wonder how long til this thread finally gets closed.

MattScott Posted September 12, 2018 Author Posted September 12, 2018 Hi all, Voicechat is back online for all platforms. Kudos to Vivox for taking care of the issue, building us brand new servers, and upgrading our system to their latest codebase. Thanks, Matt 1 4
Nitronik Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 That's pretty awesome. Any idea on what improvements we might see/feel (hear?) as the end user?

It feels like priorities have been all over the place recently and I myself and many others really want to know how the 3.5 update is coming along, screenshots / videos would be greatly appreciated.

TheMessiah Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 If game sound is still not separate from voip gonna be a shame.By the way warface(another f2p game i play)recently start using voip(vivox)and there both tracks are not connected.You can increase/decrease volume of game sounds and not affecting voip/mic volume.Means that in apb is possible too..ill log later and if its not like that gonna be pity

I keep vivox maxed and apb around 20.
