Detailed Information about the Voice System.

[Spark]

Hey folks,

 

as mentioned on discord this post will contain every needed information about the voice system.

Let's start right away.

 

Requirements ( What fixes NO-VOICE )

Okay so this is what you can do to fix the NO-VOICE if it IS NOT a GTA:N issue.

Make sure to :

1. Enable Webcam/Microphone streaming and restarting the GTA:N Client.

( This options changes the settings.xml so no need to change it within editor )

But you can adjust the settings if you got the client closed and do not want to restart.

For this make sure in the settings.xml in your GTA:N folder got these 2 lines.

 

 <DisableCEF>false</DisableCEF>
<MediaStream>true</MediaStream>

2. Make sure you got your freakin microphone plugged in !

 

3. Make sure you got the correct settings in the GTA V Settings

You can access the normal GTA V settings by pressing P in the GTA:Network main menu.

 

The issue

To make it clear the voice WORKS. Yes. No troll. I am serious.

 

It is quite random that voice will work for you.

But you can notice if it works maybe if you got NOT a [NO VOICE] tag above your head.

IF that is the case, you are able to hear SOME people, but some people cannot hear YOU.

+ Some people can hear you but they do not hear you.

This event is quite random...at least we think.

 

Going more techy

After a few hours of investigation yesterday after the announcement, I checked the log of CEF

and noticed some wierd things.

 

 

--> Initiatlize: Creating device
--> Browser: Start
-> Instantiated Renderer
--> Browser: Creating Browser
--> Browser: End
-> Browser created!

This is feedback of the CEF.

This tells us a browser instance is created (read more about that on the CEF wiki) this is at the start of the log.

Keep that in mind.

 

 

-> Start: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/voicas/voicechat.html

<- CEF calls a connection to the voicechat and its .js

This is all fine. It would work as for now.

 

BUT sometimes at random (as for now until further info) it closes the stream which gets logged

Closed file stream!

and ends completely the connection of the voice chat before the player is fully loaded in-game

See here.

-> End: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/voicas/voicechat.html, 200

 

BUT here is the thing for those playes where voice DOES work.

This event does not occur on connection. The connection stays stable and the voice chat is active.

That is why you do NOT have a [NO VOICE] tag.

 

A possible solution for the devs

So I talked with a Stuyk, and he thinks that multiple browser instances are messing this up causing this random behaviour of CEF. Try reducing it and checking that out.

 

 

A solution for the players

 

WHAT DOES NOT HELP

 

Disabling in-game option, restarting the game then launching enabling the option again and restarting.

 

Re-installing your entire GTA V

 

Re-installing Windows (seriously...do not go so far)

 

The last two options will never help since GTA:N is seperate and the voice is going through the server independant from GTA V files and Windows well damn do not go that far it will just be a pain.

 

WHAT DOES HELP

At the very end well LUCK.

You will have to be patient it will work at some point for you.

BUT here are some possible ways which sounds wierd but FIXED voice for some players.

 

Client crashing

Yes, yes, you heard it after the client crashed voice fixed itself.

I have no idea how this makes sense but THAT fixed it for several players including me.

 

Doing nothing

For some it just worked. Lucky potatoes !

 

Re-installing GTA:N

For some it helped to fix this random issue try it if you did not try it yet.
