Deathhood98 10 Posted June 12, 2013 I bought Arma 3 alpha on steam awhile back and after playing on several servers i noticed my direct chat was not working correctly, after testing with a few other people i have confirmed that other people can see my text when i type in direct but i can not see theirs. I have managed to live with it for awhile but not it is becoming a hassle. I have redownloaded arma 3 alpha a few times now and even deleted all data of the game in the files and than tried to reinstall it than and it didnt fix it. Idk if i posted this is in the correct place but it would be nice if you can help thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ck-claw 1 Posted June 15, 2013 I had this trouble, but cant remember exactly how i fixed it? I have a Usb headset, and in the sound settings its all working (teamspeak/ingame sounds etc),so i never looked no further at the time. I think that even though its all working,i think in my sound settings? that the separate mic setting was muted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathhood98 10 Posted July 9, 2013 It isnt like that it doesnt happen randomly it is constant 100% of the time no matter what Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 9, 2013 Does it happen with other missions? Maybe the insurgency mission turns off those channels? It changes a lot of other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Btadat 10 Posted September 19, 2013 I got the same problem... Completely reinstalled, deleted steam's folder as well, but nothing. Have tried multiple servers, and still the same problem. Everyone can see what I write and hear me, but I cant see the side chat... It occurred in alpha, so i thought I will wait till the full release will come. And now still I have that problem. Help please?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=Grunt=- 10 Posted September 21, 2013 I managed to fix my direct chat by plugging in a mic. No mic, DC not working. With mic, DC works. I can now see and hear other people's direct chat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lazerath 10 Posted November 20, 2013 I am having the exact same problem. In fact I have had this problem since Alpha Stage. I can type messages in any of the chat groups (Group, Side, Global, Vehicle etc.) but I cannot see ANY text that is typed by others or myself. I am unable to see the player name when someone talks via voice in game either. This is making things very difficult in multiplayer. I use the logitech G35 Headset. Windows 7 pro. 16gb ram AMD FX-9370 Liquid Cooling Samsung 840 ssd 1TB Western Digital Black Evga Nvidia 580 GTX SC Help Please!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gagi 10 Posted November 21, 2013 Same here : I logged as admin showing correct logging, activated FPS monitoring but after some time ... perhaps pressing ESC, have to test again if that's the cause ... I have no chat anymore and monitoring disappears. You unlog, relog, the chat disappear after some time ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerath 10 Posted November 22, 2013 Is there going to be a fix released for this issue? It is killing my multiplayer experience completely.
