voice chat always start game with open mic on push-to-talk

[Solorvox]

Each and every game starts with an open mic (always transmitting) even though I have push to talk enabled.

Pressing and releasing Z solves that, but it's annoying and not good for anyone to be transmitting without knowing. (listening to music/etc. in background)

OS: Win7

Same here on WIN 10 (steam version)

This is still an issue!

That is not an issue for me what so ever.

Guys when reporting an issue, it helps to let everyone know all the details about your rig. The frequency of the issue. What steps lead to the issue showing itself, etc.

In order to do any real troubleshooting testers need to know what you are working with and whether or not you are actually up to date with Windows and everything else. For all we know the issue is caused by some out of date driver or because you are not up to date on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, etc. In order to rule out every other possibility and really point it to the game as the issue... You gotta be up to date and you gotta post that info to help the devs get a clear picture of your issue so they can attempt to recreate it on a test machine using a setup similar to yours.

I would also like to point you to this post.

If you want to submit a proper bug report. It makes giving all that information the devs need significantly easier and puts it on the testers to do list.

More than likely though the issue has been reported and will probably be fixed when the new update drops.

Meh, switched to linux and voice chat doesn't work since devs updated unreal engine versions. (known issue being worked on for proton)

I remember this being an issue for a while during the early days of the game and it seems to have resurfaced again for me either during or after the free weekend. So, here we go again.

Every time I start up the game, despite having mic set to push-to-talk, my friends are able to constantly hear me as if I have an open mic until I turn the voice chat off and back on again in the menu, at which point normal push-to-talk functuionaity is restored.

Not having any indication as to whether there's a transmission going on or not doesn't help too. It's a big privacy issue as fas as I'm concerned. Who knows how many times I could've been broadcasting my voice to strangers without my knowledge or consent.

I agree. I can see when others are talking as there is an indicator for them but not when I, myself, am transmitting.

If they could add that same icon they use for others and put it next to our portrait to let us know we are transmitting, that would make a world of difference.

Eh... That's a bit of a stretch lol.
