I mean seriously, do real world conventional armies just walk around silently when enemies are nearby? True, they use hand signals....and whisper. Unfortunately mumble cant do that. But I don't care! hah

Your just saying that so you can jump unsuspecting truck drivers...

Problem is Chris, that information over load is a real danger.

I'm not worried about accidentally giving info to the enemy, just don't say things like "the firebase in delta 7" or some stupid crap.

But if ur a squad leader, you can have the commander, other squad leaders, ur own squad, and nearby blues talking. That is HARD to keep clear in ur mind. I sometimes mute mumble for a second if that is happening.

But during a firefight, put nearby enemies on top of that, and its bloody impossible!



Mumble is a clever program, and I'm willing to bet it can satisfy both camps.

anyone else having trouble signing on this evening? Is mumble down?

[Rudd]

make sure u have mumble .5 or the server will refuse u connection

Eh stress handling is different for all people. I mean me personally, I have no trouble coordinating in an airstrike via mumble, and instructing blues to open fire on enemy at bearing xyz at the same time. I mean generally, when I have mumble, I'll only use Voip when I know enemy are near.

Or, I'll use mumble when enemy are near on the account that we both know each other are near. Then its fun just calling out names and taunts :P

Just to add my voice to the users with 64bit vista crashing issue.

*************** UPDATE***********************

seams to be a GUI issue I disabled Visual themes and desktop composition and ran in windows xp sp 2 compatability mode and it works short cuts have been created with out crashing. No just to test that once i have changed setting i can re-enable them above and get mumble looking nice again and the settings remain and dont crash.


************VISTA 64 BIT crash work round******************

Right click Mumble short cut.
Click propertise.
Click compatability tab at the top.
Select run this program in compatibility mode for windows XP (service pack 2).
Tick Disable visual themes.
Tick Disable desktop compostion.
Click apply.

Run Mumble create shortcuts in configure - settings - shortcuts. Then click apply.
Then close Mumble.
Right click desktop shortcut and select compatibility.
Uncheck/tick previous selections.
Click apply.
Run Mumble.


I Thank You.

excellent works now

I'm sorry my friend but I regretfully disagree. I feel Mumble is being limited in its usage because people are afraid to use it anywhere close to the front lines. Take Ejod Desert for example, once you get around downtown, nobody uses mumble anymore because the enemy might here you. Come on! Thats like the whole map without mumble

I'm sure it would be realistic not to talk while the enemy is nearby, but how realistic is it to utilize your radio to communicate to a man standing three feet away from you?

*CHSSHH*Foxtrot Kilo, this is Yankee Man standing 3 ft to your left. Come in over*CHSSHH*

*CHSSHH*Yahnkee Man this is Foxtrot Kilo. Read you Lima Charlie. Over *CHSSHH*

*CHSSHH*Roger Foxtrot Kilo. Lets flank this wall to the right. Over*CHSSHH*

*CHSSHH*WILCO*CHSSHH*


IMO there should be seperate channels for each team. I'm sure most of the community can Alt+Tab out of game in order to change mumble channels if they get auotswitched. I can do it and sometimes I've only got 512MB of RAM.

Or "Eat NADE Sukkas!" a split second before it goes off is also quite satisfying

I only wish the maximum distance was lowered as well, to around 40 meters. Hopefully not hearing people ingame, and ingame people not hearing people not playing (unless it's FCP, ofc) would be implemented, as well as hopefully automatic serverchannel moving and Squad Leader channel moving. Those I guess are the biggest priorities, and harder to code I"m sure, having to get mumble to work hand in hand with BF2's information.

Or a whisper of 'fix bayonets' then a scream as you charge through the enemy position.
