Hey Dudes and Dudettes;

I was playing CO last night (9/30) on Daquing, and it was not a good time. The reason why is because, for some obscure reason, I could not talk to the individual squads; it was the broadcast to all squads, or nothing!

I was very frustrated with this arrangement, because I know how much incessant CO chatter limits the SLs ability to do their job. The best solution I could come up with was to mute my comms to all squads except the one that I wanted to talk to: not the best solution, to say the least. I was so busy muting and un-muting different squads that I found I was neglecting my real role as CO, to provide information, material support and direction to my squads.

I tried numerous times to re-map my controls, (thinking this may have something to do with the problem) but to no avail. Finally, in a mixed blessing of sorts, my internet connection went down (sometimes shaky things happen here in the far north ).

I spent the rest of night searching the 'net, looking for someone else who has this problem, and what their solution was. Seems that nobody (at least, nobody I coudl find) has this issue.

Finally, what may or may not be a contributor to the problem; my default play mode uses non-standard key bindings (i suspect many others are like this also). I use 'T' for regular squad comms and NumpadEnter for the Commander Channel. On a potentially related note, I also have two joystick buttons mapped to my VOIP channels, so I can talk and fly, and lastly, I have the primary and secondary commo roses assigned to mouse 3 and 4 respectively.

Anybody have any ideas out there? Help me, Obi-wan; you're my only hope!

Dice.
