Post Microphone/Walkie-Talkie related issues here

[=Chdc= Chris [✈]]

We are aware of the issues some people are having with the microphones/walkie-talkies. We are actively working on a solution. If you have this issue and want to help us, please provide us with information like, at what point it happened, if loading took long, which operating system and if it was working before.

We're very happy with all the information we got about the issue! We've had some issues with the photon voice service, but we're close to a fix, or atleast a temporary fix. If you want to play and have this issue, please use a third party voice service. Stay tuned!

Thanks for sharing all this information! There seem to be a few different causes that some people are experiencing. I will give a few scenario's and a possible way to fix it. I can't guarantee that it will work, but it could possibly serve as a (temporary) fix.

1. No one can hear you, but you can hear them

- Set your microphone as a standard device in Windows Recording devices (Rightmouslick on speaker icon in taskbar and click recording devices). After that restart the game.
- If applicable, unplug other microphone devices and restart the game.

2. The voice chat works in the lobby room, but stops when in-game

- Lower your graphics quality settings to prevent the game from freezing for a while (if that's the case).
- If that doesn't work, try switching roles (Librarian/explorer)

3. The voice chat doesn't work for both you and your friend

- In some cases the voicechat servers could be overloaded. Then it's best to try at a later time.

And lastly, there is always an option to use external voice chat like Discord, Teamspeak or Skype. The loss of Walkie Talkies will not impact the gameplay too much.

In my experience the mic worked in the lobby, the second we clicked ready it stopped so we just started a steam audio chat for now! Hope this help ^^

I have the same proplem. The walkie-Talkie doesn't work at all for me. Though I can hear partners before the game begins.

Just finished this awesome game with my friend. However we had to use the skype instead of the in-game voicechat.

His "V" -talking button worked, and i could hear him (in both lobby and in-game)
Mine "V"-talking button did NOT work for some reason, he couldnt hear me although my voice settings were okay. (he could hear me in lobby, but not in-game)

I M A CHINESE PLAYER. I HAVE PLAYED 2 TIMES WITH ENGLISH PLAYER, THE MIC WORKED. BUT WITH CHINESE PLAYER, ONLY IN LOBBY ROOM WORKED. WTF?

Ive had a similar experience with the Walkie Talkie just not working at all, as well as issues with voice chat in the lobby. Its really an embarassment that the core mechanic of the game flat out does not work. There really should be some check every time you launch to make sure that the game recognizes your mic.

Mic doesn't work at all... In lobby or in game. All windows settings are correct and work in any other game I have ever played. All magical 36mins of "game play" have been trying to get the mic to work. Haven't even played the actual game.

Hello! We have to fully restart We Were Here for a chance for the microphones to work.

Walkie-talkies did not work for me & my Bro either. We used the Steam voice chat system instead.
Next time we may see if any of these suggestions help.

So what's causing this? The explorer can progress the first puzzel by accident, but the second puzzel is impossible to complete without the radios.

I can't get the walkie talkies to work either. Everything works fine before the game actually loads the the lobby, but the second I get in game the mic doesn't work. Tested this with a friend as well to find the same issue.

For everyone where the voicechat works in lobby, but not in-game, do you have a moment where the game freezes, the first time you enter the game?

[UnoaCaso96]

Mostly the main issue is the malfunction of the voip system, some pieces of advice i feel to give is to improve optimization on the various systems and components to better enjoy the experience.

[f13stBloodGR]

voice chat works in lobby but every time i get in game nobody answers... this is unplayable at the moment unless you find a friend and an external communication service... :/ it doesn't seem to be a performance issue, my pc runs the game smoothly in highest settings...
