OFFICIAL POSITION

What the developer says

The 24-hour update says the proximity-chat robotic voice issue remains under investigation. Earlier official notes linked distortion to the EOS voice and FMOD integration.

MATCH THE SYMPTOM

Use this page when

  • Robotic voice in proximity chat
  • Distortion when a transmission starts or ends
  • Directional voice sounds incorrect

REVERSIBLE CHECKS FIRST

What to do

  1. 01

    Confirm whether the problem affects proximity, squad, leadership or every channel.

  2. 02

    Keep the game fully updated and test again after each audio or voice-related hotfix.

  3. 03

    Capture the platform, channel, headset or audio device and whether distortion begins when opening or closing a radio channel.

  4. 04

    Report repeatable examples through the official support channel; no permanent client-side fix has been confirmed.

IMPORTANT LIMITS

Before changing more

  • Avoid presenting generic Windows microphone resets as a confirmed fix for an acknowledged service integration issue.
  • The earlier playtest suggestion to keep a radio channel open may reduce switching-related distortion but is not a confirmed launch-build repair.
