Ever since the update, I seem to have lost the ability to use game chat too (if I look at my name in the list of players online, I am missing the headset icon). I’ve only encountered 1 person that I tried to talk to and he did not seem to hear me. He saw me, I tried to greet him, and he looked at me a second and then ran off. It still shows the microphone when I push down on the d-pad, but I assume since the headset icon is missing in the “online” menu, it means my VoIP is not enabled. Ergo, no game chat.
I’ve tried reinstalling, tweaking audio settings on the box, and even cleaning my controllers headset jack! I never had a problem before the update, but I’ve noticed it 100% of the times I’ve logged in after 1.06. I don’t know if we are having the same issue, because I never see other people in online players without game chat enabled. If nothing else, you give me hope that I’m not alone and maybe if there are others it will get noticed and fixed.
