PS3 Mic Issue and Sqaud borking

GordonVanDyke · 13-08-2009, 01:45 PM

We are looking into these, but it isn't a simple fix minor code mistake here and ship. We regret the mic issue being present in BF1943 and are doing what we can to fix it, same with the squad splitting. This hasn't gone unnoticed, nor have other issues.

Bateman_dk · 13-08-2009, 01:50 PM

Do you have an estimate on how long it could take to fix?

KylieDog · 13-08-2009, 01:50 PM

If you want a priority, mics first please (I know fixing probably don't work like that).

Thankyou for saying "We know, working on it" at least.

Vayner · 13-08-2009, 01:57 PM

Are there any plans to deliver mute buttons?
The mic issue isn't half as bad compared to a kid singing his favorite tunes. I'll take static noise over that any day.

do people always need to know how long just the fact they are looking into it is good enough for me its like the bunch who want dlc less then 3 weeks after the game come out i swear thoses guys have adhd thanks Dice for lookin into the important issues with this game (squad splittin and mics) although i have some things i dont like about this game i think it was the best 15$ i ever spent on a game and would do it again in a heartbeat

Bateman_dk · 13-08-2009, 02:09 PM

I also love the game, but they should know how long it would take to identify and correct a problem.

If it can be fixed at all?

when you have issues or problems do you always know how long you will be fixing it every time i dont think so

Shook-Yang · 13-08-2009, 04:42 PM

Rather than just saying "we're looking into it", how about telling us what, exactly, it is you are doing about it?

Such as, "we are working on the patch now." Not "we're waiting for Sony to put out a firmware". We want specifics and to see that you are ACTIVELY working on the problem, not passing the buck to someone else.

Then, you may see a decrease in the number of questions on when the mics and squads will be fixed. Maybe.

Good to know though a bit too late for me as I lost my passion for this game. Maybe more maps will fix my mojo

thx gordy

FFRRAANNKKOO · 13-08-2009, 05:58 PM

my_dog_loves_to · 13-08-2009, 06:03 PM

hanks for letting us know GvD. This is one of the primary reason I switched from US forums to UK forums. Theres devs on this forum. I'm glad that the mic issues are getting looked into.

Lets not forget your Bad Company issues that came up after 1943s release either. Thanks for the update.

Will this thread take over the old one?

ll_1NFRA_r3d_ll · 13-08-2009, 07:12 PM

ok what about the problems with private rooms?
:-people failing to join on invites
:-when launching we all get kicked
:-when launching instead of being in a private room it puts us all in a public room
i also think the min player count should be lowered from 8vs8 to 5vs5 as this would be more clan game friendly.

I_D1sturbed_I · 13-08-2009, 07:15 PM

Old news but good to hear about it.

Poopy6432 · 13-08-2009, 07:37 PM

I used to think it was Sony or EA's server problems but after playing many other EA games on PS3 with no mic problems, it can't be. When you have played other EA games since release day with zero mic issues something isn't right and should be top priority to fix it. Dice needs a VOIP specialist for future releases or to fire the one they have now. BFBC's patch didn't work that well, better but not as flawless as other EA games. You still have many games where it sounds like you're speaking gibberish to the other players.

Ops_Blue · 13-08-2009, 07:39 PM

wow,,,,that almost sounded like...like an apology.
eh, it only took a month.

1Bryce1 · 13-08-2009, 08:22 PM

Hopefully the mic fix will be better than BC. It already bears the similarity of digital remix of people drowning in a tunnel.

Oh and you do realize the black square is a bug when your cross hairs cross another player right? Even when running and there's no visible crosshair.

FFRRAANNKKOO · 13-08-2009, 10:45 PM

hahaha, I cant wait launch day of BF-BC2.We're all gonna be here with same questions and same sh**ty problems and ofcourse,same nice answers from GvD or somebody else.ummmm, I cant wait!!!

vegetassj3420 · 13-08-2009, 10:55 PM

Thx GVD, just let us know when its fixed.

I would like to play again but the mic thing killed it for me and my friends.

Mahrio · 13-08-2009, 11:57 PM

Thanks Gordon. I hope this will be fixed soon, me and my friends love this game and we hate to use other voip solution to play it.

OLD

But what is with those wich have their ps3 in the livingroom?
I dont wanna play in my office... I know it was just some idea and
it really helps if u got the pc near by your console but its not an
argument for that big issue that comes with both games.

Isnt there Teamspeak 3 out together with americas army 3?
Thought so, by the way ventrillo has a better quality sound than
teamspeak.
