      If you want to talk to me in the future I'll be on Discord.

        😮

        There is certainly a point to not spreading ourselves over several platforms, but I still don't care for Discord much :q

          Mumble never works. I need to spend five minutes rebinding my keys over and over before they kick in every time I start the program. I also have major performance issues with mumble. Discord also has better sound quality, so I literally don't see a single advantage.

            Discord runs like molasses and has very weird connectivity issues for me. Can't say I'm too fussed either way, but possibly one should give the Steam group chat thing a shot, since we all have steam running no matter what.

            e: If you change your mind down the line you may want to try running a 1.3.0 snapshot instead, they have added a bunch of settings around keybinds which may help (?)

              Literally never have problems with Mumble. Reinstall it or something?

                It is a known problem area in Mumble though. In techy details it registers itself with windows to get global keypresses, but the way those works is that windows sends the keypress to the application, and if the application fails to respond in 200ms windows just delists it as a recepient for further keypresses.

                Not a bad guess that something in Tangos computer is feeling a bit ill (the 3-minute DOTA launches suggests perhaps a disk or so), and he is hitting the 200ms limit at some early point in the launch.

                1.3.0 has some tweaks for that stuff one can try. What they should probably really do is just poll the keyboard a 100 times a second and rest easy that that'll always work, just uses a bit of performance, it wont be enough to make it slower than Discord anyway ;D

                  Dota was fixed by reinstalling, mumble was not.

                    I must also admit that I would like discord way more if it wasn't centrally hosted, and that they obviously will want to monetize at some point.

                    Then again mumble hosting is a ridiculous scam, I figure clancrazy.pro would manage at least a thousand users, and it costs about £5 a month for the whole thing (and I use it for a lot of random nonsense behind the scenes). Easy to see why no one wants to pay the retail prices.

                      It's been a little too good to be true Discord. I wonder where it is going, someone pays for it even if we don't yet.

                        Like facebook if its for free you are the currency, they will be selling your conversations to google or something nefarious allowing specialized adverts etc.

                        Would be happy to use ts3 or something, but discord leaves me cold.

                        Like the other day on inv the sound quality kept dropping out forcing people into in-game coms.

                          Of all possible outcomes I don't forsee a switch to ts3 being it ;D

                            TS3 is the pinnacle of all VOIP programs.

                              Well, if that is an actual opinion I can't say I see any reason not to go to ts3 either, it just seems to basically be a similar dead-end to Mumble.

                                Just created a quake channel on ts3, would be good to get a few more people on to test it out, so far just been me and James!

                                  I'm in SA for the rest of this week too, but intend to idle TS to the extent I game once back (and I do intend to play a bit of quake, only played three games upon reinstalling, but it is a refreshing change to play something quick-paced again).
