Really useful guide, Apelgrandure. I will link people here in the future for troubleshooting mic problems. Also, you should add this as another solution: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

Relevant to the topic, Direct Communication does not always seem to work for lots of people. After lots of frustration, my group and I only just figured out the problem. Click here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

To type via Direct Communication you must press the slash key (the question mark key) [ / ]. Also, a lot of people can't seem to be heard over Direct Communication (when pressing caps lock to transmit voice). Here's the reason/solution: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

Who are you referring to? Also, what gives you evidence to support your synopsis that anyone in this thread is a 'douche bag'? Judging someone's character through written text is near impossible unless you work for the Behavior Analysis Unit in the FBI.

Always use Direct Communication. Limited range. Exact range value varies from server to server. On average it's roughly 50 - 70m. Also, if you're being ignored all the time, you may not actually be transmitting (even though you're pressing caps lock). Here's the reason/solution: http://dayzmod.com/f...e-announcement/

Most people KOS (kill on sight) and don't even respond before shooting you. But, it is suspicious that out of 10 people, not 1 responded over Direct Communication? That can't be right. If I had to guess, you're probably experiencing the same problem I did.... Little did I know, I was NEVER actually transmitting (thus I was always ignored and killed). Here's the reason/solution: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

I had the same problem bro. It's too bad there's too many dip shits on this site that don't know the answer either so they just resort to calling people a "noob" instead of legitimately trying to help. Anyways. This should solve your problem: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

If, when you press caps lock, you see the microphone icon appear, then that server DOES HAVE Direct Communication enabled. You do not need to enable anything. By default, pressing the period key [ . ] will let you select which channel you're transmitting with. Most servers in DayZ now have Side and Global Channels disabled, so always keep it on Direct Communication (unless you're in a vehicle - use the Vehicle Channel). If you're still having problems, here's something I figured out after lots of frustration: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

Sounds like the same problem I was having. Luckily I figured it out. :) Click here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

Amongst my group and I, several of us are no longer able to be heard in-game via direct communication (voice over mic). Also, we're not noobs... We set our mic to be the "default recording device" and "default communication device" in the playback/recording devices manager. We've used direct communication in DayZ before without any problems. This is what I've discovered: - I can hear other players on direct communication but they can't hear me. - BEFORE: when I would press caps lock to transmit (over direct communication): My character's mouth would ONLY move to the sound of my voice. - NOW: when I press caps lock to transmit (over direct communication): My character's mouth continually moves weather or not I'm actually speaking in real life. - Here's the really strange thing: my friends CAN hear me in Group Channel but ONLY while we're in the lobby (player list screen prior to loading into the game)... So clearly my mic is working and is being detected by ArmA 2.... It just doesn't work once loaded into the game As far as troubleshooting, I've: - Tested on multiple servers (none seem to work). - Restarted Steam. - Restarted CPU. - Verified integrity of game cache via Steam - Defragment cache files via Steam - Reinstalled latest beta (Build_OA_95417) - Completely uninstalled ArmA 2 and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead - Done an entirely fresh reinstall of EVERYTHING And.... Direct Communication still isn't working. Suggestions? ------------------------------------------- SOLVED! Click here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64413-a-public-service-announcement/

That's why you should try to avoid reverting back to older versions. Only update when you know the latest patch is stable for DayZ. The same is true when you consider installing the newest DayZ code. Case and point: Hotfix 1.7.1.2 Hotfix 1.7.1.3 Hotfix 1.7.1.4 Hotfix 1.7.1.5 There's an app for that! :D

Yes, that's exactly what I said: "text chat via Direct Communication appears to be unaffected on mis-matching beta versions" Same beta version as your friends or as the server? "I have heard stories of Direct Communication (text) not working on occasion for some players." <- referring to mis-matching versions between the client and server although I personally haven't had this problem. Also, this friendly with no mic would've probably died regardless since DayZ has become KOS (kill on sight). LOL.

Firewall has never been an issue before and I wouldn't expect it to be. It just (randomly?) stopped working. My mic works over Group Channel while I'm in the lobby, so the firewall isn't blocking it.

Not being a dick. But, his post was about as helpful as calling Indian tech support only to have them tell you to check if your computer is plugged in.

Clearly you didn't read the first post... *le sigh*

Those of you that have been playing DayZ by yourselves, consider this: YOU may very well have this SAME problem and have literally no way to verify if your mic is transmitting to other players in-game.

There are no hackers. There are no false positives. BattleEye is issuing global bans daily. DayZ is completely secure and hacker-free. :)

Hey man, I have a Mumble server and established clan. I'm from Calgary, Alberta but we play with people from all over the world. Currently we have about 15 active players with DayZ. We're always welcoming new players but it may take a bit of time to completely earn our trust (as with most groups welcoming outsiders). Mumble info is here: http://www.reactiona....php?f=20&t=305 Also, feel free to add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/stings2pee

And you're not bitching about the hackers because....? Oh, you probably are one!

They can still run to the nearest zombie(s) and get themselves killed. It just takes longer...
