I am having the same issue! No matter what settings I choose, it doesn’t even register that I am pushing the voice key (I have it set to default, G). I’ve gone through Windows microphone settings, Steam audio settings, the in-game menu. Nothing fixes it! ---

same thing happened to me I tried fixing it with the steam audio settings and then when I restarted and tried to load the game now I’m getting EAC failed to initialize EOS auth status = failed, result = EOS \_UnexpectedError so I tried repairing EAC running as admin, authenticating files all the while restarting several times but nothing works lol ---

Me too! Just three days ago I have exactly the same problem It is not the mic, it works everywhere else. Its not a setting, or hardware issue I DID notice a small directx auto update/install when I loaded Vermintide 2 the first time I had the issue. Its unfortunate, as it makes me actually want to use discord lol ---

Yep I thought it had to do with directx so I spent time in dxdiag and making sure my drivers were WHQL and looking to see if microsoft made changes in the latest directx update… but nothing changed ---

nvm its all good for me I feel really dumb because all I had to do was start speaking and it pops up lol. I swear in the past my user popped up without me needing to speak whenever I pressed G so when I didn’t see it pop up I just assumed it did not work. ---

Mine still doesnt work I constantly ask if people can hear me and nobody says anything but it works in all other games and the mic icon still doesnt show up when I press my push to talk button or if I set it to voip and try talking. Only in Vermintide it works in windows settings and every other game. ---
