• Team Voice Chat has been fixed and reenabled, during the last closed beta there were some issues with it not outputting some people’s voice. It functions with push-to-talk which you requires you to hold a keybind, which can be set in Settings-Controls-Communications (B by default), when someone is speaking an icon will appear via the Team Voice Chat HUD element (added by default on your HUD, you can move it if you wish) and if you wish to mute someone you can do so by pressing Escape, going to the Match menu, selecting the Players tab and clicking the mute button next to a player’s name - IMPORTANT: currently Diabotical does not recognize any audio device changes while it’s running, if you wish to change your input or output audio devices for when you play Diabotical at the moment you must do so before starting Diabotical
