TV6 Issue: Muted Player Calls, Voice Commands, say/teamsay

[Chaka of the Pakuni]

I'm currently having this problem and none of the suggested fixes have worked so far.

Just had the issue, it might be worth noting that I was spamming join server and was getting kicked for 'slot reserved' but when I was able to get in I couldn't do all the stuff. Heartbeat/recording demo/that stuff did not fix.

I've been getting this about 50% of the time now on TV6 only.

Voice doesn't work, none of the text commands work either.

Becoming quite irritating.

Do not know if this is a VALVe or Server issue, but I'm sure our folks are trying to figure out what it is.
In the mean time I'd like to say on behalf of all our cadre. Please be patient while we try and figure out what is causing this. And as soon as something is found, we'll try and correct it.

Thanks for looking into it guys and gals. It is an annoying bug!

Just as a fyi...

The last time I ran into this, I switched to a non-ville server and was able to type. Once I re-joined TV6 without restarting TF2 or Steam, I could not type again. Once I did a couple of steam restarts everything came back.

It seems to be a bug, that, as far as anyone can tell, is restricted to just TV6. That's part of the problem, as (to my knowledge) all our servers are running the same configs.

If it was affecting the other servers it would be easier to track down, but seeing as it only affects TV 6, and then only certain players. It makes it more difficult to fix.
If it affected everyone server wide, it would it would be easier to find.

It's not only tv6. It happened on tv7 to me last night. Voice chat worked, text chat didn't.

I suspect it happens on tv6 more because maps are not changing as much. The problem on tv7 went away as soon as the map changed, something is being reset. FYI, all typed text goes through the swear filter plugin.

Did you notice if it was preventing you from calling for medic or using any of the other radio commands?

I've had this happen to me numerous times over the past month. Quite annoying.... I can swallow no voice commands, no chat-box typing but the no medic "e" callout is fatal. Though voice chat works, I don't always feel like chatting it up.

and it seems to be getting worse. It used to be I would get it once in a blue moon, now it is more than half the times I join.

Odd, the one time it happened to me I had no communication. Not voice, no text and no key bind calls (I play medic so mostly I call "thanks"). I know recently when it hit armn, the same. He couldn't chat, text, speak, nothing.

I don't use the radio commands, just the default 'e' medic call sometimes. I only noticed it happening a few minutes before the end of the map.

The bug hits me about 80% of the time. I can volunteer to help in any way...
