Why does voice chat cut out between and after games?

When playing a game with friends and being a 2 or 3-stack, naturally, you talk. Having the voice chat cut out every single game is just not good enough. Why does it do this when other games have no such issues?

  • @DrWizardo Cause this game is running in old tech. The voice chat in older titles is even better. Discord coming to Xbox very soon and on PlayStation on March 2023 will resolve all of these issues if your friends are not in the same platform.
  • @DrWizardo It's because in this game you disconnect from the lobby server and connect to a match server when you start a game and when it ends you disconnect from the match server and reconnect to the lobby server. Voice chat is not a direct connection between players, has to go through a secure server, for obvious reasons.

    You can use Discord or similar for a better experience, but keep in mind that's a different connection and separate app, so it can thin out the bandwidth (network and performance wise) for Apex a little.
