FIXED! If your not using a mic you must enable STEREO MIX in the Recordings tab of the Sound control panel. No idea why this would effect written text but it does! I can now hear people and communicate using text! Order a mic off Amazon, looking forwards to playing this game properly now. :D

Reinstalling did not fix this issue. So long DayZ it was fun whilst it lasted.

Nothing works so far. Met more players, still no communication whatsoever. I cant hear them or see what they type. I cant believe im going to have to stop playing this game for good. :( Gonna reinstall the game, hopefully that will work, if not then bye bye DayZ. What i find astonishing is that no one else seems to be suffering from this issue.

Hi, ive been playing DayZ for a few days now and its great, but for some reason I cant see peoples chat on-screen or hear their voice chat either. Im currently playing without a mic so am relying on the chat function to communicate. I can see my own chat but no one else's chat shows up. Ive met plenty of other players and not one of the has communicated to me at all. I met a group 4 guys in one of the military bases, not one of them said a word through voice chat or typing and the whole time i was typing in direct chat... This has happened with every player i have met. This is obviously game breaking and i have no idea what the problems is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
