Comms - fix them.

As the title goes. I can't "connect" to anyone before they send a text to me, after that the comms work fluid - just that I can't initiate comms at all, not to say "hi" or anything. And it's not a problem with my network, anyone suggesting that can go eat a sock.

Is it a problem with your network?

...just kidding!

In all seriousness though, I haven't come across this issue but if I learn anything I'll let you know.

be nice to have a system wide hail to use as well, no idea if there any live players in a system. Never seen one, that I know of either, and the faffing to target then talk is annoying. Never been able to talk to anyone on comms, all I get is no valid target selected and no way to tell an NPC to stop shooting, I surrender etc. Got bounced yesterday and dropped some cargo but got blown up anyway.

Just a moment ago tried to contact two people in my "friends list" - no comm went thro. I asked on Mumble if they can send me a text in game, their send came thro just fine and I could reply and all - but me, I can't initiate comms, someone else has to do it - after they do contact me, we can chat just fine.

The OP is not the only one. I have been affected by this issue ever since some time in gamma, and I can confirm from 2 other people that they are having it, too. Within an instance, comms work fine, but through the friendlist across instances, it rarely ever connects.

your imagination is the final ingredient!
just roleplay there is a solarflare (interfering with your network connection)
/if you did not detect sarcasm you too can eat a sock

Same here, just noticed it today actually. I'm wondering whether it's a firewall issue on my end.

I've also been playing in open all day and I've yet to see another CMDR, even in systems like Lave where I couldn't move for faceplanting Sideys last night.

It doesn't work even when face to face, unless the other hails me first. If they fail to hail me, then... well, *crickets*... it's pretty silent.

Also, voice comms... same issue.

I think this stuff is the roots for threads about people who don't reply or such - the comms just ain't working.

Okay, then your situation is worse. I at least can always initiate as well as receive comms from anyone in the same instance, supercruise and normal flight alike.

I'd send logs from both machines. It may have something to do with both routers to open and secure ports between each other - one may be better able to do so than the other, or one is rejecting traffic on some authority weighting.
