Is it modded?

Description

I am on Fedora 44 KDE plasma. the Proximity chat works fine, the Radio however does not. I've made sure its on, the right frequency, the correct faction radio, microphone is set up properly both on steam and on my system, I am pressing the correct button (caps lock) for radio, and as suggested by BI support, disabled any overlays. despite this only proximity works, i see the icon with the airwaves appear while holding the button but friend only hears me through proximity. i usually double tap T to hold open proximity chat so i thought maybe that was interfering so i disabled it and then friend could not hear me at all despite me holding down the radio key.

    bonjour, as-tu essayé de relancer ton jeu ou de quitter et revenir ? Le problème peut venir d'un problème de chargement d'item

    Were you outside of the range of a re-transmitter (relay station or radio tower) at the time you tried it? If so, there is currently a bug where the radios don't work correctly without a re-transmitter in range, such that you cannot receive signal even from a guy on your frequency 5 meters away. Cycling the power on the radio (G > select radio > R to switch off > R again to switch on) everytime after spawning should fix that issue

    i am unsure, ive only picked up the game a few days ago so im not really sure what that is, me and a friend were playing combat ops - everon which spawns you with radios. I was able to hear them when they talked on the radio so i suppose we were within range of a re-transmitter. i did the dropping/picking up and turning off/on since i saw that as a potential fix online and that didnt seem to do anything, i even traded radios with my friend to see but same result.

    Hello.
    Can this also be reproduced on Windows? As currently Linux client is not supported on our end.

    I dont have access to a Windows PC so I can't confirm.

    Can confirm same happens on PC and PS5. Vanilla Servers or modded - no difference. The "hack" mentioned above does work from time to time, but in general, radio comms are broken since 1.8.

    can confirm, i was finally able to get the radio by turning the radio on and off rapidly because i realized that the on/off options are flipped. after making sure the radio says "press F to turn off" dropping the radio on the floor and equiping it off the floor seems to inconsistantly work. had to do it like 5 times for it to magically decide to work. hopefully this gets fixed soon because gosh it is annoying to have to deal with...
