PC Fixes Needed

  • To whom it may concern,

    I've seen a lot of fix posts (I am sure I haven't seen them all), but I've not seen a detailed one for some of the PC issues. See my list below and please upvote if you feel/see the same. I haven't see anyone post any of these, but they have been present since launch. Here is your feedback loop!

    1. Xbox App frequently crashes
      • when "refreshing" the party list to find a group to play with.
      • randomly when left open for more than 4-6 hours.
        .
    2. Xbox App Party Chat Voice Activation
      • PC users do not have the ability to adjust the voice activation sensitivity. This leaves your microphone open nearly 100% of the time because you cannot adjust the volume threshold at which the microphone picks up sounds.
        .
    3. No In-Game Party/Game Invite Notifications
      • There is no notification, chime (sound), nothing... You have to constantly Alt+Tab to check your Xbox App for any personal messages or your windows notifications bar for any game/party invites.
        Fixed
        The above was fixed by turning off "Quiet Time" from the lower right notification window button within Windows.
        .
    4. In-Game Radial Equipment Hotkey
      • After you press your radial equipment key to use your bucket, shovel, banana's, etc... the keybind (defaulted to "F") to bring up the 2nd equipment wheel is not able to be changed. This default mapping should be able to be changed so that I don't have to reach across my keyboard to press "F" to access the 2nd equipment wheel.
        .
    5. Gaming Mouse/Keyboard Profiles
      • Currently, you cannot use the games .EXE to link to a custom game profile to allow mouse buttons and special keys on the keyboard to be mapped while SoT is running. The .EXE is locked down so tightly that even when trying to take ownership as an administrator, you still cannot select the .EXE do to permissions lockout. The only way around this I have found is to just pre-enable a gaming profile and set it is persistent, and then disable once I am done playing.

    Thanks.

  • Are you using Bootcamp? Because I don't have those problems. For me, it's Xbox chat not working thanks to Teredo not being able to connect. And I went through every single recommended fix for it.

  • @blam320
    Can you be more specific/detailed as to "those problems" and your experience because I have listed many.

    The Xbox app has never crashed, I've never had a problem with party chat voice activation (asides from never being able to use party chat at all), I get in-game notifications since I play in whatever qualifies as "full-screen windowed," I don't need to rebind the secondary tool radial key, and I don't create custom KBM profiles.

  • For points 2 and 3 it sounds like you have notification pop-ups turned off on your computer. Not necessarily in the xbox app itself, but the windows notifications in the bottom left for all of Windows. Once I enabled pop up notifications for that I started getting them in game down in the corner.

  • Updated
    Point #3 was resolved after further review of Windows Notification settings. I tested with it last night and now I get pop-up messages and notifications within the game and it even chimes to alert you.

    However, all other remaining points still stand. @HyR0-the-PyR0 , point #2 has nothing to do with pop-up's being turned off, it's a limitation (missing setting) in the Xbox App that doesn't allow you to adjust the loudness at which the microphone is activated.

  • Another problem for PC users: random crashes of driver graphic card.

  • The only major bug right now is not being able to hear crew mates instruments or it being muted by the railing behind the anchor on the sloop. literally unplayable.
