Direct chat cannot be recieved

[Lewist118 0]

I have played dayz for a few months and have realised the majority of my deaths have been caused by not replying to typed direct chat.

I can type direct chat which is seen normally by people in the nearby radius but I cannot receive direct chat! I don't no why this occurs but I have tried several servers and have had the same problem.

I don't want to go through reinstalling because I don't think that will help much, any similar problems please send me a solution please as my dayz experience is being ruined by this!

Go into options, audio, and find VOIP. Is it turned down? Is text (typed) chat missing, but you can send/receive voice fine?

I can send (typed) direct chat which can be received by others, but I cannot receive any sort of direct chat - typed or voice!

All side chat works but nor direct.

I will look in the audio options for the option you talked about but I don't know if that will effect text (typed) direct chat

I still have an annoying problem of me not being able to receive direct communication - typed/speech.

This is very stressful as I only know a few guys that have the issue. A lot of people have mentioned having to have the exact same version as other players,I have already tried this and it still doesn't work

I really need to find a fix as it is an important aspect of the game.

Thanks guys! Please.help me
