Yeah steam voice takes a second to recognize that you are talking, you should be able to tweak that yourself in your steam settings (in steam itself) though. Also while 4.18 brought VOIP improvements, if you are on an older engine version you will need to up the client bandwidth cap in order to utilize VOIP in network correctly.

It may also be required in 4.18, I haven’t had a chance to test the changes they made yet.

Was testing with 4.18 actually, and latest version of the template plus my stuff.

I see in the release notes for 4.18:

“Voip streaming improvements - use the underflow feature of sound streaming to feed the audio buffer rather than enqueue the data directly - wait a small period of time to buffer period actually playing new voip streams”

I’m guessing the improvements are meant to be automatically included in 4.18 but don’t know how to check.

I tried doubling the default network data limit to 20000 bytes via DefaultEngine.ini
[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
MaxClientRate=30000
MaxInternetClientRate=20000

I found the instrutions for how to update client bandwidth via thread:

What is the network data limit, why is it there, how do I change it?

Also, checked around in steam settings via the steam gui, and in the steam install directory, tried googling around etc, but can’t find any settings to help reduce the delay. I guess unless you can think of any other things to try, i’ll just accept it and move on.
