God forbid they fix the Mic glitch.

[Cunning Condor]

The Mic glitch that's been affecting half of TF2s playerbase that makes us sound like lagging chipmunks. It's been quite a thorn in our side for a few weeks now and I didn't see it mentioned in the update notes.

Can Valve stop pretending to be a game company now?

[Cunning Condor]

And Steam Support is non existant.

When did this glitch show up, and what caused it?

Roughly a month ago. No one knows what specifically caused it, but a vast amount of players cannot use their mics in TF2, as the feed is choppy, high-pitched, and incomprehensible.

Mics work fine in other games such as Counter-Strike or Garry's Mod. TF2 is the only game suffering from this glitch.

Valve has yet to address it.

You're complaining about something being buggy and you don't even want it fixed? Make up your mind ffs.

Or how about the mute feature that is broken. Love that one.

The mute feature doesn't block chat FYI.

When Valve "Updated" the voice codec to be double the Hz of the old one.

They did this without resampling, i.e. your voice is recorded in 11025hz, but is sent as 22050hz. Thus resulting in the mic problems.


The fact that no one thought this through is proof enough that whoever is working on TF2 has no clue what they're doing.

That's because the dev team has zero clue how to fix it. Frankly, I wonder how they got a job at a video game company when they make basic errors like this.

That's actually a very good point.

And that every game has to have at least 1 hacker.

Man and right before MyM they had amped up VAC to actually work.

They technically don't need to do anything as long as key sales are still flowing. Just assign a few average guys to maintain the bare minimum to feign development interest in the game.

But that's a bubble. They run the game like that and within a year or two the playerbase will drastically decrease, along with their profits (from TF2, anyway)

Did I make any mention about chat? Is English your second language? Potato?
