Voice

[Tai]

Has ANYONE gotten voice to work? I have the port forwarded and the mic works fine in the control panel, but my friend and I cannot communicate in-game.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks,
Tai

PS. I'm running Windows XP

You should try running Roger Wilco in the background instead. You can find Roger Wilco at www.resounding.com. It's easy to install and use.

Nod, I'm familiar with it, used to use it for Tribes - I was just hoping for an in game solution. Thanks for the suggestion though

I'm not sure what may be causing your problem, but I've used voice chat with no problem with winXP pro, however I don't have a router. If you've forwarded 3783 then it should work, I would do some research on Direct Voice as this is what the game uses. There may be more to it than the Readme indicates. For instance the readme doesn't indicate at all if this is a TCP port or a UDP port, two completely separate animals.

Merry Christmas

How do you enable voice chat? I've never seen an option for it and I usualy play against other folks on my network.

If you have a working soundcard and mic support then pressing the TAB key(and holding it while you talk) should work fine. Baring and port/firewall problems.

GREAT!!! I've been looking for this information for a couple of months now, and I couldn't find it anywhere. It's not mentioned in the manual and not in any keyboard layout I have seen about PtW. Where did you get this information from? Just by trying all keys?

With kind regards,
Erik Hendriks.

The PTW readme file had info on the settings. There is one more problem especially if your using Conquests. Both the ptw.ini and the conquests.ini have a "Voice Quality=*" line. If it is set to 0(zero) then there will be no voice chat. The quality goes from 1 to 7, try starting with a value of 3 and working up or down from there as your connection will support. The conquests.ini comes with it set to 0 as a default, something the manual doesn't mention at all.
