VOIP Fix

[TG]

Found this on SGS:

For those who don't have access there, I'll quote it:



Hey guys, simongie made a discovery this morning that in the gamesettings.ini file, there is a spelling mistake in the voipreceivevolume setting. Have a look at the thread over here:
http://games.saix.net/cgi-bin....y931241

They misspelled VoipRecieveVolume=0.500000
where it should have been received. I modified it, and then set my gamesettings.ini file to read only and then hopped on a server. Beware from the CP clan was in my squad at one stage and I asked him to say something. I could hear him loud and clear and there wasn't any continuous mic transfer either. Therefore, it appears that this might be a possible fix for the VOIP issue.

We need more people to test this, Tetra also said he'll report it to DICE, but if you guys can, go and correct the spelling mistake, set your gamesettings.ini file to read only (its important because if you don't, it will revert the change). See if its also working for the rest of you. Perhaps this will mean the end to our VOIP woes, for good.

:)

PS: I made a new topic so that more people can be made aware of this, because simongie's topic title isn't very descriptive and lots of people might ignore it eventually.

The gamesettings.ini file is located in your My Documents\BFBC2 folder.

Am I missing something here, or did they put an "e" before an "i" after "c" and it's a stupid spelling, actually quite NOOB, mistake that caused our woes?

[Sabre]

doesn't seem to work?!

[TG]

It might. You need to catch someone else who's done the fix as well from what I understand. I've done it, I'll gladly test with you tonight.

[Vortex]

Made the change - I'll try it out..
(TS3 in case though)

[Sabre]

vorty and i could talk using the BFBC2 VOIP, we both made the changes made to our ini files

[TG]

Hm. I made the change as well, but it didn't seem to work when we were playing last night.

[SintaxErr]

I can't see the talk message like it used to show up in BF2.
Is there an indicator to show that you are talking?

[Inyoni]

Tg , You could hear me the other night , ive done the change too , ill check with you tonight

More or less, Flatty. Except they left out a "-d" suffix.

VoIP works on iGame in my experience - I think there must be a server fix, as well, which SGS haven't applied.

[TG]

I can hear peeps just fine... could hear Rainy over TS too since I think he has the same push to talk key.
My issue is that mine won't transmit. And since there's no test facility or anything like that, I can't even begin to fix it.

[Inyoni]

It works fine now , Thanks TG

[TG]

Ok well it seems mine is working fine too. Not as good as TS, but it woiks. :) Definitely helped when it was me and Inyoni vs the other bunch. ;)

TS: Flatty: "Hey, there's a sniper on the left side of the ship"
Me: Uh-oh, better move my bum to somewhere else...

:D
