PANICORE voice chat not working: How to fix it
The good news is that the developers have provided some potential solutions to address the voice chat issue in PANICORE. Let’s break down each workaround step by step to make it easier for you to follow and hopefully resolve the problem.
Enable Voice Chat and Push-to-Talk Key Check
First, make sure that voice chat is enabled in the game settings. Just Pause the game and from the pause menu, head to Options, followed by Audio. Check if “Enable voice chat” is ticked. Also, make sure that the push-to-talk key is set to default “V”.
Microphone Configuration
Test whether you can hear yourself when speaking. If not, there might be an issue with your microphone configuration. Set the Windows default microphone to the one you’re using. This will make sure that the correct microphone is selected for input, allowing the game to receive your voice input accurately.
Proximity Voice Settings
Also, check if proximity voice is enabled in the session settings. This setting controls whether you can hear each other based on proximity within the game environment or if it’s disabled in the lobby. Again, pause the game and go to Options, then Gameplay, and check if “Proximity voice” is toggled on.
Manage Audio Devices
Disable all other input devices except the one you intend to use. Open Audio Settings, then Manage Audio Devices. Scroll down to “Input Devices” and disable all microphones except the one you wish to use. Restart the game to apply the changes if needed.
Re-enable Voice Chat
If previous steps haven’t resolved the issue, try disabling and then re-enabling voice chat. Return to the game’s audio settings in the Pause Menu, toggle off “Enable voice chat”, and then toggle it on again. Hopefully, this will reset the voice chat functionality and resolve any glitches.
Verify Input Device Settings
Check if your input device is correctly configured in the game options. This setting is available in the full version of the game, accessible from the main menu under Options, then Audio. Make sure the correct input device is selected to receive voice input.
Beta Version and Voice Chat Reset
Finally, the developers recommend trying out the beta version of the game, as it includes fixes and a voice chat reset button that might help resolve the issue. Participating in the beta testing phase can provide access to potential solutions and improvements implemented by the developers.
And for now, those are some effective workarounds suggested by the devs for this issue. Well, that is all for this guide but for more gaming reads and news like this, keep visiting DigiStatement daily. Read more: XDefiant Party Not Working: How to fix it?
