[resolved] Build 4176 - Using and holding PTT causes major game freeze

[oworangew]

I press the Push to Talk button and immediately suffer a singular game freeze followed by a short period of stuttering.
The freeze is about 1-2 seconds long for a tap.
Both the press and release of the key cause the same freeze (meaning, I press the button to talk, it freezes and stutters after. I release the button, it freezes and stutters after.)
Framerate is zero during the freeze itself.

Holding the PTT button will sustain the freeze for however long the PTT button is held.
"Always Sample Mic" is off.

In the new Setting screen (as per 4176) I can see it detects my mic, and its inputs correctly.
After selecting my mic, pressing any of my PTT buttons no longer does anything.

Hi oworangew,

Thanks for reporting this. If you can open the console, would you mind entering the following:
voice_always_sample_mic
if the console says "voice_always_sample_mic = 0", Would you mind then typing the following:
voice_always_sample_mic 1

And let me know if it fixes the first of your two issues?

For the second issue; if you open the console and type in
voice_loopback 1
does the PTT button work in-game (that is, can you hear yourself speak)?

Thanks,
Ethan

voice_always_sample_mic 1 does appear to have resolved this!
I can hear myself now using voice_loopback 1.

There is, however, no mic indicator on the UI (from others footage, I can see one did exist, but it doesn't show on my end.)

Good to hear! The widget is indeed broken, but a fix is on the way.
