Voice Chat Drops

 

Most in-game voice chat drops are caused by network congestion or “lag.” They usually subside after  

  a few moments so please be patient. In extreme cases, you may need to leave the game and return to  

  reset the chat function.

  If you use a wireless internet connection, low signal strength from your modem/router can make the  

  voice chat malfunction. For best results, we recommend a wired connection from your  

 

 

  modem/router to your game console.
