Why can't PC push to talk players talk in lobbies?

I always hate this oversight in a lot of amateur games, and it’s so common. You forget to enable controls during lobbies because players aren’t supposed to be able to press anything, but you disable their ability to talk in lobbies while hot-mics/open-mics can talk normally. I can’t talk in the end game screen or the pre-lobby.

Do you not test your game at all or are all the devs on PS4 exclusively?

Huh?

PC can talk in lobby just fine.
I do it often, so do people I play with.

He wants push to talk to only work in the match and to have a hot mic in lobbies, I think.

To me it sounds like he just wants push-to-talk to work in lobbies… which it does?

Nope. I have the same issue. Push to talk stops working pre and after lobbies. Super weird. Hot mic works just fine…its just the push to talk.

I use my headset mute, so I never noticed.

The only time push to talk doesn’t work is mid match if I get a single bad lag and for the rest of the match I can’t hear any mics, and the mic doesn’t light up when I use it so I assume it doesn’t work. When the match ends and its the cutscene, I get it to work again.

In Game Voice Chat is crap. Happens to me and a few friends all the time. During the match the mic just stops working. Restarting the game usually fixes the issue but can still arise later on. Not sure what triggers it, but it has been like that since day one. Using both PPT and Hot Mic. Doesn’t matter.

Yep. Its miserable like most everything else in this game lol.

Figured it out based on the replies, if you rebind the key it doesn’t work. Just lazy that they’d hard code it so T is the only button allowed to be pressed in lobbies.

Either that or they don’t allow Mouse Button 2 in lobbies, but c’mon it’s 2020.

I thought this was just a “me” issue. Several people i know playing on PC can talk in the lobby NP, but i can’t. The only way it works is if i turn off push to talk.

I get the same issue playing on my desktop and laptop.
