What does VOIP do?

[Stogie]

I wondering if its the reason people can barely hear my in game but when I test my mic through steams voice settings and skypes mic test my mic is completely fine.

Voice Over Internet Protocol. Basically its the technology used to deliver voice communication over the internet. So if people can barely hear you in game, turn up your VOIP.

Thanks I hope it works.

The VOIP option currently in the game is apparently a holdover that does little in the game except for one fairly annoying thing.

Keeping it turned up allows you to hear people who are able to talk to the whole server, which tends to be dead people. If you have ever been playing and out of nowhere loud music or random chatter just starts up, it is usually from someone who died who is using voice chat.

Turning VIOP all the way down will prevent you from hearing this crap, however, it has NO impact on your ability to hear other live players. To be clear, turning VOIP down does not prevent you from hearing live players using voice chat.

So then why can people barely hear me in game when its completley fine in other games.

If you hadn't heard, the game's in Alpha. This will most likely be fixed before launch.

It's just an output issue with the mic. I have to crank mine up for this game as well.

I guess I will turn up the VOIP to see if it helps. If not then this needs to be fixed.

I have no issues communicating.

Go into your audio options in-game and turn up your Input Volume. If that does not work, go into your computer's audio settings and adjust the input or recording volume of your mic. I was having the same problem and this worked perfectly for me.

Might want to test it in steam as well.

Steam - Settings - Voice
