Text Bug

[BrinGoblin]

Heyo, I only recently started playing, but I think I found an issue with the text system.

I'm playing without a mic, so I wanted to try out the text system that lets you ask questions to the ghost to check for spirit box evidence. Well, I turned it on, and I couldn't turn it off again. I tried going around the map, asking questions, or just sitting in the truck. I could move, interact with objects, turn my flashlight on and off, and cycle through my inventory, but I couldn't open my journal, or the menu. The only way out of it was to trigger the keypad in the truck and leave. I could turn it off when I was back in the main lobby - though that meant I couldn't report the ghost type, or document any further evidence.

It's only a minor issue, but if you're like me and don't have a mic, or otherwise can't use one, there's no functioning alternative. I know you don't technically need the spirit box at all, but it's helpful when you have a shy ghost, or can't work out exactly where the ghost room is. At the moment, I end the mission assuming that there is spirit box evidence if I've found nothing else after the first two pieces of evidence. However, sometimes it's simply a matter of missing things like orbs, dots, and fingerprints - if my camera isn't set up in exactly the right position, or there is little in a room for a ghost to interact with that could provide fingerprint evidence.

As I said, it's not a major bug, but since it's an accessibility feature, I definitely feel it's something that needs fixing.

Thanks for reading

So you specifically lost access to the menu after turning off Text voice recognition? That sounds like a corrupted file to me honestly, I can't recall running into that myself.

Still, you'd want to do all that voice setup BEFORE you enter ANY lobby anyway (yes, even Singleplayer) - its the most responsive to changes then, and is the least likely to have something break. Training has lost most of its meaning these days as it is severely outdated, but it serves quite well as a place to check if voice settings are working and what you want to use.

Its not just you, my friends and I are all experiencing this issue. We have tried voice, without voice, Changing voice recognition setting in Game Settings Vosk, Windows and Text. Now Im in the tutorial checking it and it wont even work there on any of the setting regardless of the spirit box light blinking red saying that my voice has been recognized. The Spirit box is BROKEN and not working at all right now. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP. My friend and I keep getting screwed over while identifing ghost and we couldnt understand it till now.
