In some cases, simply turning it off and on again did the trick.
You mean in Preferences?

I got voice working without any problems. But it is true that the connection with the server keeps op going on and off. Sometimes it's fine for an hour, then suddenly the Talk button is greyed out and voice isn't working anymore. Then it is enabled again by itself. But most of the times only a relog fixes it. Voice is still sort of.... buggy ;)

Is voice chat just not supported on Macs? I'm on a Mac.


Not working for me either on a mac.

I think it's just borked. Surprising.

Hey Fade, what's up?

BTW--I can't even get my GFs PowerBook G4 to run SL...as soon as I log-in, it crashes every time. And then, it sits in the background crashed, until it is force quit.

Is there something I need to set up, or tweak for it to run on this Mac?

Yes, that's what I mean. It sometimes helps. Sometimes, however, you just have to wait ...

Hey :)

I just upgraded from a G4 Powerbook. It should run without anything special... is the OS and everything up to date? Try fixing the permissions, sometimes the SL install seems to make a mess of them, and that can cause crashiness. Other than that, dunno.

Meanwhile, voice has randomly decided to work.

Yeah it's pretty random....when it's working, it's fine and doesn't lag at all for me (I was the one Raynor tested it with yesterday)
I'm on s DSL 16,000 connection, Raynor only has 1,000, but both worked okay.
