Voice recognition not working

[Taul Power]

Hi guys, I had to run the game .exe as administrator in order to fix the game from crashing when loading into a new part. I don't know if it's coincidence or not but now the voice recognition does not work anymore . The game says I need Windows 10 build 1803+ and I'm on 1809. Voice recognition did work for me initially. Any clue how to fix this? Other than that this game is awesome.

Hey Taul, we've just found this out as well, we we're told by some users that running as admin worked, so we put out that message. Later we saw that running as admin doesn't register which version of windows you're on properly, so the voice stopped working. Hope to be fixing this loading issue very soon so it doesn't effect the speech recognition. I'd try running the game not as admin again and see if the next levels will load fine. I'll keep you posted on the patch/ update. Cheers, Blake

Good to know it's an issue you are working on to fix. I'm seriously loving this game, just beat the first boss.

My voice control worked at the very beginning say the first room with the blacksmith, after that for the life of me i can't get it to work anymore, been through all my mic options but can't figure it out, i can call up cortana easily enough just nothing works in the game!

Awesome game by the way such amazing attention to detail

Hi Dragon, Thanks for letting us know this! We've some issues with certain Windows Versions (Cortana Versions) that make the voice recognition not work between scenes (but only sometimes). We're having trouble figuring out what's going on. If you restart your computer though it should start working again. I'll let you know if we figure out the issue.

And thanks! Yeah tried to make the game as life-like as possible, making sure every interaction works as it would in real life. Talk soon, Blake

Instead of trying too recognize every word to continue, it should just recognize a percentage of words or key words. I stopped using the Voice Recognition because I had to keep repeating myself to continue the dialogue so I just said ♥♥♥♥ it and would click on the dialogue I chose. It is more immersive to speak the words... Although the dialogue itself is kind of meh. If it was just key words, I could use those key words and speak it how I think it should be spoken. That would really add to the game imo.

Hi Emperorvoid, Sorry to hear you're having issues with the speech recognition. Just to give you some context about how it works (which may help), is that we listen for every 3-4 words in a sentence and if it's able to recognize one word it will highlight all of those words. The problem occurs when it lags behind and your saying new words correctly but it's still looking for the previous 3-4 word sections. I do believe you could get through the dialogue by saying a key word every 3-4 words. That may make it easier and is similar to what you mentioned about only recognizing certain words. (Although, you'll need to say the first 3 words correct in order to choose one dialogue over the other) Thank-you for letting us know about your issues though, hopefully I can improve it in the future like you mentioned. Thanks, Blake
