Funnel Runners push-to-talk and voice chat status

Patch 0.34.23 increased base voice-chat volume but still lists voice-chat-related crashes. The earlier 0.34.19 snapshot added a microphone indicator and documented Walkie-Talkie usability trouble plus no proximity-chat push-to-talk setting.

Field note

Diagnose without inventing a keybind

The cited sources do not establish a universal push-to-talk key for proximity chat. Use visible in-game settings and the new activity indicator as evidence.

  1. Check the current patch

    Make sure the microphone activity indicator from 0.34.19 is present before comparing behavior.

  2. Review visible audio controls

    Inspect the game’s current audio and voice settings. Do not rely on an old or unofficial keybind list.

  3. Use the activity indicator

    Watch whether the indicator responds when you speak. This separates microphone detection from whether another player can hear the channel.

  4. Test the two voice contexts separately

    Proximity voice and Walkie-Talkie behavior should be recorded separately because the known limitation is not the same as a microphone that never activates.

  5. Report exact behavior

    Include the game version, selected input device, whether the indicator activates, and which voice context fails.
