Author Topic: Voice in H2H (Read 426 times)

I cannot get voice to work in H2H area. It worked fine in the MA and other areas but now it doesn't work. I have text messaged others in H2H and all seem to have the same problem. Did I miss the fine print that it doesn't work in H2H or do I have a problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hammer02:

I have the same problem and I don't know if it's only MY ARENA when I am hosting, or if it's general to all H2H arenas. I've seen you in my arena (Solomon7). Are you having troubles only there? or elsewhere too?

I've already asked a question like this in this forum a few days ago, and got no answers.

Here's my situation:

I have 2 computers, 2 ISPs, and 2 accounts.

I can host from either computer on my LAN, and AH voice works fine there twixt my two systems in "LAN H2H" mode.

I can use either computer in the Main arena and AH voice works fine there. I can easily speak to anybody I want to reach in the Main arena from either computer, or from both during the same session. I hear everybody, everybody hears me. I can talk between my two computers in the main arena without problems.

When I host on the Internet, I can use AH voice to talk to myself only (tuned to "PBDY"). From my other machine (the one NOT hosting), I can not even talk to myself by AH voice. Nobody has ever acknowledged hearing anything from me in AH voice when I host H2H.

I can't get voice to work at all between my two computers when I am using one to host across the Internet.

I host from behind a Netgear firewall router which I have set up in two different ways (identical problems with AH voice in both setups):

1 of 2: UDP ports 2000 - 4999 enabled to host machine, and
2 of 2: All ports wide open to host machine.

I suspect AH voice has been disabled for free H2H, but perhaps I am missing something... ????

This is a change. Several months ago I was using H2H voice on a regular basis in the free arenas, but I couldn't host back then due to firewall restrictsions that I've recently overcome.

So, I am still wondering if it's something unique and broken in my hosting situation, or if there is some new bug or new policy restriction.

Anybody with answers?

Regards,

Peabody

Peabody, your area was a lot of fun. I have tried to use voice in other areas but to no avail either. My only conclusion is that it is disabled and that is why I asked the question.

Anybody else got the same problem?

It's FIXED! As of today I am using AH Voice in H2H successfully with AH V1.11 patch 4.

Thank you HiTech!
