Any feedback on Voice Chat?

We think we fixed some problems with the infamous "channel leaking" issue, a few weeks ago. And then we brought Voice Chat back up again and made it more stable a week or so back. We've been continually seeing people using it, but that's probably a lot of mobile players.

Does anyone have any feedback on how it's working? (Yes, it doesn't support Mac, or iOS, etc, let's leave client-side stuff aside, or suggestions of other voice-chat solutions.. we're just looking to hear how the current system is working server-side).

It'd be great to know if we've resolved the channel-leakage problem, or not, as that's something critical to fix.. no matter what voice-chat solution we use (as the channel problem is likely on our side).

Thanks.

I was on guild VC with Neon the other night and we were hearing strange things but it may have just been Darth Nihilus AFK. I did hear a bit of other stuff but I was listening to music at the time so I can't 100% confirm that.

Yeah, issues with open mics and poor auto-talk configurations are not really the concern, so much as definite cases of channel-leakage.

I have had my VC turned off for about 6 months now, so if it was me then something is seriously wrong with the VC.

However, I did turn it on about a week ago in an attempt to test it. About 30 seconds after I exited the menu to turn it on, I received a "guild chat disconnected" notification. So, I don't think that it is 100% yet, but I'll try it out next time there's a few of us TRI folk on at the same time.

I'll submit a ticket reporting whatever outcome we find.

Yeah, a week ago it was still not working right. I believe everything may be ok now?

The whole population has considered it 100% broken for so many years now, you might as well have just introduced it as a feature - it's going to take longer for people to test it than a few weeks.

Uhh, ok? I have to post this thread at some point, otherwise no one will ever test it, and everyone will assume it's broken forever.

Please limit responses to actual testing feedback.

If Darth's VC was off then it was definitely leakage. We were hearing several voices having a conversation.

My mic doesn't work on Linux x86-64 using bare ALSA. I suppose i could install PulseAudio and try that, but I'd really rather not.

Had an instance of leaking. I was only in a group due to an escort mission, and all of a sudden I could hear this whiny girly voice.

That was your escort.

TRI has used VC several times since my last post here. All seemed well, but as far as the "leakage" goes, it happens to randomly that it may take some time for it to crop up.

Caught it leaking again. I can hear 12netjuan and Capt Mac1976 in ITAN guildchat, neither of whom is in my guild.

As a part of my income, I throw sexy private webcam shows. I don't need to explain exactly what that means - it is what it is. Unfortunately, on multiple occasions I unawarely left VO running in the background while my microphone was on. So, I want to apologize to anyone who may had the misfortune of stumbling into one of my shows because of those leaks. It can be noisy - some of my clients have rather odd fetishes.

Again, leakage. I can hear 12netjuan and Commander Kayne. Time is in the forum post.

TGFT has done some tests, no leakage so far, but it always was an sporadic thing. Really just posting to say that tests are ongoing and will report back.

I have been able to hear FAMY's guild chat, consistently for the last week and I've decided you guys shouldn't fix it. This is hilarious.

LOL....I can confirm, we have a great guild full of colorful characters.
