ARC Voice. Where is it?

I have been hearing about this since October but I have not seen this feature yet. Where can we access it and make a new channel for ourselves and our Faction?

It's in the Arc client. You must have Windows Vista or newer.​​

I would like to know about what happened too. According to the news page: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/pwi/news/detail/9622093-arc-voice-pc-is-here! this feature should had been out, but it was never really released. What the hell is with this lie? Fire that guy making these fake news reports!

Last time I ran Arc it was in it. I cannot look atm though since I do not have Arc installed. It was buggy as hell, but it was an option in the Arc interface.​​

It is, maybe you should follow the steps on how to use it before you start yelling.​​

Maybe you should go on arc yourself and take a SS showing that its there, cause I don't see it anywhere.

Ok:



To break it down:
1. Click on where 1 is pointing
2. Then click on where 2 is pointing
3. Then click on where 3 is pointing
4. Then you get the room settings screen (middle one) in front of you, you create a room
5. Then right click on your room and add channels with or without pin, your settings, whatever (where 5 is pointing) (i didn't add a 4 because paint is hard)
6. Then look at your channel list (see 6)
7. Double click on any of your channels to join it and see 7

You are now MLG at arc voice.

Thing is, why would anyone use this instead of the already long established programs dedicated to this, doing so in a whole lot better way?​​

The assumed reason would be because you "need" ARC to run PWI or other PWE games and while ARC uses a decent amount of RAM they tried to lessen the load for your computer so you wouldn't have to run another voice program.

But yes, it's a bit buggy, I've tried it and found other programs better, even the free ones.
ARC Voice also uses more ram than another voice program I use. ARC uses 40MB and the other I use is 2MB.

What do you mean it uses a decent amount of RAM? I looked in my task manger and after adding up everything that has ARC its only 38.6MB, both my clients open is still only 852.2 MB. Not saying I would use ARC voice seeing as there are better programs out there.
