Known Bug: Voice Chat

[Kinetic Games]

Hey everyone.

The voice chat is bugged at the moment where you will sometimes be disconnected from the voice server when loading into a level. I will look into a fix for this but it might take some time to fix.

As a temporary solution I am going to look into a way of reconnecting to the game so you can leave and rejoin to reconnect to the voice server.

I've had this issue and a simliar issue where if I don't kill steamVR when trying to start the game in desktop mode, the game will fail to connect to the voice server 100% of the time, unfortunately even after this every time it wraps a game and brings you back to the lobby, there's a chance it kills the connection to the voice server.

Update: Switched to the beta branch and it fixed the issue. Only downside is significantly less people are playing on the beta version.

Thanks for looking into this, and upgrading the servers.

So happy for your success and can't wait to see what's to come, this game is breaking new ground.

The mic finally worked for Oculus VR for me, but only after opting into the beta. The downside is that the audio is very quiet in the beta for some reason also and the client is very unstable and kept crashing. Another downside is that very few play in beta so there were no rooms to join.

The work around i used and work to get vc working was disabling Local Voice Chat on the game. Tho now I don't need to press V for local chat.

Played today and everyone in the lobby couldnt hear each other. Voice chats weren't working even though it reads our mics for the "Test" voice recognition.

So I had all these issues, I set up my game to run as admin through steam. Everything worked for us including the Mic issues. Only thing that hasn't worked is the Voice detection test thing. The game does hear me and my mic does work just the voice detection test won't work. But I mean everything works anyways so I'm not worried about anything. Hope this helps everyone. Running the game on Admin solved all our issues except a random crash here or there.

Also restart your computer when you change the game to run in Steam Admin mode.

You mean set the actual Steam shortcut to start Steam as administrator? I've seen people talk about running the game executable as administrator, but that was supposedly to cause the game to crash so you could then verify game files, which seems to temporarily fix the issue. Which one do you mean?

Right now we can play with Discord, since ghosts still seem to recognize voice, but honestly Discord kills the mood. It would be much scarier to feel the isolation of not being able to hear others when you get too far away from them.

I starting playing yesterday afternoon and had local and global VC. Last night however it was not working. The lobby detected my voice however I couldnt hear anyone else and they couldnt hear me. I could hear them keying out on their global radio though.

[RetraBlaze]

just want to let people know, when my friend and i played, we couldnt hear eachother. he found a solution that worked for us, close the game, close discord if you have it open THEN open the game. worked for us

The scariest part of this game is how poorly the voice chat is optimized. I mean, it's not like it's a core gameplay mechanic or anything.

You have go to Library>Phasmophobia>Properties>Local Files>Browse Local Files> Right click on the game Phasmophobia>Properties>Compatability>Change setting for all users>Check the box that says Run as Admin.
