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

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 computer.
Microphone not working:
