A couple of quick questions...

[medic2112]

If anyone can help me out with some of these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

1) What's up with VOIP? It is not working lately. Is it the new patch?(which I like by the way). I have read that others are having problems as well, but have seen no answers.


2) Here's a noob questrion for you :cry: ...How do you fire the flares when flying a jet or helicoptor? I am just now starting to learn to fly.


3) This next question is sort of a weird one, but has anyone noticed on Karkland that in the non-combat areas there is a bridge (and a river I think) and another road that never get unlocked...even with 64 players? I was wondering if there was a way to unlock those areas, and if not, why would DICE put those areas in there?

I think they should come out with some variations of Karkland, with building entry allowed and some new areas...That is by far my favorite map. (Wake Island 2007 is up there)

Thanks for reading. Any input is appreciated.

1) in some servers it works in others it doesn´t , i think it works better on linux servers.
2) the "X" key
3)Maybe in Special Forces ?a new version of Karkand ?"i hope"

Hi there medic2112 and welcome to the forum :) now about your questions:

1) I have to say my VOIP has been working since the patch, but i have also read other posts with problems, so i suggest doing a "search" of the forums to find the answer (sorry i dont know it) All i can suggest is checking it still physically works in the options there is a mic "test" and if it works there then try binding it to a different key and see if that helps.

2) the flares are fired with whatever key you have set them for (i dont use default layout, so not sure what it is now) but into your "control options" and bind your prefered key for "FLARES" in planes and heli controls and "POP SMOKE" in tank and APC. Thre is now a reload display for the flares/smoke so you can tell you you have the next one ready to deploy.

3)if you mean the road down the side at the front? you can use it if you hug the wall then you stay "in bounds" and can outflank the MEC to the rear flags. But nothing else can be unlocked for gameplay. I'm one of the rare players that dosent like karkand so i'm not 100% sure we are talking about the same place (BTW before a speling nazi jumps on you, theres no "L" in the middle of "Karkand" )

Thanks!

Also, has anyone else had trouble with X-Fire...My friend and I both cant get it to take us to the map where the person is playing...it just loads the game and stops you at that EA message. I have tried going to that message but it still pops up.

Thanks for the heads up on the speling nazis , screw em, bring the little kiddies on. ...I always thought it was karkland, guess I never payed much attention. :cry:

From what I can remember, being here at work I can't check, but the spot I was talking about on KARKAND is in the lower right area.

Re: A couple of quick questions...

1) If you've set it up properly and it works in the main menu, but turns off soon after you join a game:

In the windows start menu click run and type dxdiag
wait for the tabs to load up and click sound
turn sound acceleration down to "basic acceleration"

Obviously you need to join a server with VOIP activated as well.
