  Update 0.5.5 — Voice Chat Rework & Multiplayer Fixes

  Hello, dear players!First of all, we’d like to thank everyone who continues to play, share feedback, report issues, and send crash reports. Every message we receive helps us better understand what needs attention and makes it easier for us to find problems that can be difficult to reproduce on our side.Your feedback is an important part of improving the game, and we truly appreciate the time you take to share it with us.This update brings a major rework of the in-game voice chat system, along with several multiplayer, weapon, inventory, and stability improvements.Voice ChatThe voice chat system has received a significant internal rework.Fixed Open Mic being interrupted when opening the Inventory, Map, Settings, containers, and other UI screens.Fixed voice chat behavior when entering and leaving vehicles.Fixed issues with enabling and disabling the Walkie-Talkie and Megaphone.Reworked how voice data is routed between players.Improved reliability of proximity voice, Walkie-Talkies, Intercoms, lobby voice, and other voice channels.Voice playback now follows the pawn currently controlled by the player instead of being tied specifically to the player character.Added persistent voice playback streams to reduce interruptions and recover more gracefully if an audio stream stalls.Improved handling of positional voice effects and AI hearing.Please note: Work on voice chat and the systems connected to it is still ongoing. While we continue refining these systems, you may occasionally encounter some minor artifacts or unexpected behavior.One currently known issue affects the voice volume indicator. Several seconds — or in some cases up to a minute — after a match begins, the indicator may stop responding correctly. If this happens, simply Alt+Tab out of the game and back in to restore it.This issue is purely cosmetic. It does not affect voice chat itself, whether other players can hear you, or whether monsters are able to hear and react to your voice.Weapons & InventoryFixed ca...
