I know chat was the cause of lag issues in PC and that things have changed with 1.3.
Since the update muting people in channels is broken. The only people you can mute are the people that show up with a speech bubble (which are usually only 4 or 5 people). Incidentally this also breaks the mute all function for the chat.
Could you please fix this asap. |

Very hard to coordinate for PC battles if we can't see who is in the channel or we can't mute.
Needs to be fixed. |

Not sure why more people aren't talking about this. Even if you don't do PC or never mute anyone in battles anyway, you still won't be able to mute anyone who is being annoying or playing loud music, etc in any channel unless they just happen to be one of the 3 or 4 people with a mic icon. |

I'll be passing this one up the chain. But can you encourage anyone else that also has these issues to post in this thread? I just want to confirm how widespread this issue is.
Also, wanting to confirm: have you all been having people not show up with mic icons yet have them speaking in channel? Has anyone had anyone with a mic icon that shows up yet still can't mute them?

I've been seeing people show up in team/squad chat... or even in created channels, that don't have a mic icon next to their name, but that are clearly talking in that channel.
Can be problematic when managing comms in PC, or just muting annoying/loud/disruptive people. |

We were doing a PC match yesterday and we couldn't mute anyone even if they did have the mic icon (ud press it and nothing would happen) and the others the mute option doesn't even show up at all (not that u could mute them anyway) |

Yes, I can confirm the people not showing up with speech bubble are actually talking. But I can mute people with a speech bubble. |

i see 2-6 people at a time with a bubble, but people without a bubble are talking. You can only mute people with a bubble |

Since the update, the game doesn't pick up my mic.
The PS3 does, and so do other games. Previous to 1.3, there'd be some rigmarole (and ritual) in setting up my mic, but at the moment, doesn't even work.
The rest of my headset is fine, and I can hear people in chat. It's just the mic getting lost somewhere.

This seems very widespread, as in for regular instant battles, its even happening within the squad chat channel (as in for several days, there are certain players who just never have a mic icon, and when we had 20 people in a channel last night, <50% of those who were talking had mic icons at all).
Yes you can hear the players (and typically don't need to mute because its just a squad) but it becomes a nightmare for PC, considering that PTT is less convenient on a DS3 controller than in EVE, and PTT doesn't work at all when looking at chat channels or in any loading screen (WTF CCP). This problem is further exacerbated by the awful voice codecs and or awful hardware that people are using, if you have 10 people in a channel there are constant echos and sometimes feedback loops (the kind develop a 1-sec per cycle frequency and grow to earsplittingly loud levels).
FURTHER exacerbated by the fact that there is no "channel commander" feature set up like in teamspeak, in our PC battle last night we had squad leaders switching from squad chat to hand out orders then back to a different channel to coordinate with other squad leaders. It was a nightmare. We had planned to use team-chat voice with selective muting, but even without the bugs this is at best a workaround, and we had to throw this plan out at the last minute. I think if we did it again we'd just make everyone activate PTT except squad leads, and resort to yelling at people for non-vital communication, but again this is a change we'd have to get used to. We like our tactical chatter, but we also like being able to hear the relevant stuff.
I don't think this is a new issue with 1.3. Workarounds for PC, workarounds for the mute-issue in general would be most helpful.
1. Features and abilities surrounding voice comms are inadequate for handling 16v16 battles, much less larger ones. Usability of PTT is an issue. Proximity chat and commander chat are very much needed features. Better than commander chat would be the ability to just run two voice channels at once. Somehow. Maybe PTT being usable is one of advantages of going M/KB
2. In light of the above, muting people selectively is the best option. The bug issues surrounding this completely blindsided us last night.
3. PS if Wolfman NEUTERS the TACNET here and here, requiring us to use MORE combat chatter instead of less in order to coordinate, then CCP will have kneecapped the game's most fun feature and forced us to rely on ones weaker and untested (active scanner, crappy voice comms) |

I can confirm its widespread in negative feedback alliance chat as well. No one sees more than 3-5 chat bubbles so we don't know whom is in the chat room ready for matches or not. |

The issue is the Chat bubbles aren't showing up. It just randomly happens in any chat channel, including squad and Corp. |

I just had a pc battle and I can confirm that in team chat it is impossible to mute team members that have the speech bubble. Also 9 out of 10 times in the other channels the people with a speech bubble do show the mute function but |

I mainly noticed something what I would call a kind of lag. Sometimes I use the mute all function and it takes some time until it actually mutes. Most of the time now I just deactivate voice for the team channel.
This is for Public Matches though. |

Everyone in Red Star had this bug in corp chat as well as team chat the last time we had a PC match. I switched voice channels and my speech bubble showed up for me(not sure about everyone else).
This happens to me when on pubs in team chat. I cannot go through players muting and unmuting to find the offensive one as it is usually someone with the missing bubble(can't use mute all after muting/unmuting one person).
This bug existed in 1.2 but was nowhere near as prevalent as it is now.
This may be related to being disconnected and reconnected to voice(I get the notification fairly often now when logging in). |

Public matches the muting is wildly inconsistent.
I just spent a couple hours playing with a Merc that I met this morning (3 Aug) before shutdown. No speech bubble the entire time. I gave up trying to mute teams or team members as it was just horrible. Wasn't even getting the option every now and then. So I quit. To mute the team I switch voice to a chat channel.
Let us know when it is usable again. |

Having the same issue. Chat bubbles don't show up so you can't mute anyone, though people are clearly talking (we know each other's voices in our corp).
Even those bubbles that do show up don't get the normal red X over the bubble if you try to mute them (not sure if it actually mutes them or not, will have to test). |

I found that they do mute them but the red cross doesn't show up.

Last night, I joined the drunk night channel. a bunch of people in there, nearly all with mics on. Only 3 bubbles show up. Someone's mic was going all crazy so I muted the offender. But it never created the red X over his speech bubble. This happened again with people that were playing music right next to their mics. had to switch channels to unmute those people later.
can't mute the people I want. Cant unmute the people i did. |

Can confirm that the mute/unmute option doesn't exist for us. Only those with speech bubbles have the option and not many have speech bubbles.

Happened all the time to me before the game completely broke my mic and ability to hear other players. Silence is golden, except in FPS games... |
