KFiguerado Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Hello, I am currently in the process of integrating Mumble Link (and subsequently positional audio) into my game and I am running into an issue From user to user, Link refuses to stay enabled. The steps to reproduce are as follows: clear out cache -> log in as user that can always get Mumble Link to connect -> log out of game -> clear cache -> log in as user that can sporadically get Link to connect -> Link does not connect. I've tried this on multiple computers and multiple different users and there's only one user that can get Link "linked" consistently. I'm using a Mumble.ini file and leveraging some functionality that will copy this ini file to the cache once the game starts. I've also looked into the registry settings that get changed on login (even going so far as to change them myself to see if I can get consistent behavior) and it still is inconsistent. The game and Mumble Link implementations are both cpp and the only variations I have from the wiki post on how to implement Mumble Link is the specific information (like context and identity) that Mumble Link requires.

Administrators Krzmbrzl Posted September 27 Administrators Share Posted September 27 I take it that it that the "user" you are referring to is a concept from within your game (in contrast to e.g. a user on a Windows system)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFiguerado Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 User is a player within the game yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Krzmbrzl Posted September 29 Administrators Share Posted September 29 Hm okay then all I can say about this is that most likely there is some sort of issue with communicating with the Link plugin via shared memory that makes the plugin think the connection has broken. Since I don't know the code of your game, there is not much else that I can say at this point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFiguerado Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 Okay I'll look into that and see if I come up with anything. My guess at the moment is maybe my game isn't setting the identity properly in the shared memory so it caches that value. Currently my Link implementation is pretty basic and I open up an instance of Mumble with the Link.dll inside the plugins folder (along with the associated ini file to enable it). If I find a solution I'll be sure to post it to help out anyone that has the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add onto this I followed this link when developing my implementation of the Link plugin: https://wiki.mumble.info/wiki/Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFiguerado Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Finally figured it out. It seems to have been a race condition where the client was sometimes faster than the loading of the plugin which resulted in the link memory not getting set in time.
