Stellaris voice chat issues

[RedFoxLord]

Every time me and my friends try to play an online game whilst using voice chat we either disconnect whilst setting up the game in the lobby or within a very short time of starting the game. This has happen every time we've tried it. We've all tried hosting the game. We've tried Discord voice chat and Steam voice chat. Steam voice chat was worse since we couldn't get into a game without disconnecting. We've been trying quite regularly over then course of a few months. I don't think it's an issue with the current update since we've tried on previous versions. Any help would be appreciated

Steam voice chat is awful. I usually just have a large Skype call going, since I frequently have the issue with discord either not having sound with certain games, or discord killing all sound for certain games. I tend to only use it when Skype's buggering up.

No question of Steam voice chat being awful we tried it as a last resort since Discord kept cutting us out and disconnecting us. Skype is not an option for my friends because they can't use it

Fair enough. You tried teamspeak or gamevox?

I haven't tbh, we'll try teamspeak/gamevox and see how it goes. Thanks for letting me know about them

No problem, teamspeak may required a paid server to chat on though, not quite sure about that, but I believe gamevox should be free to set up.
