How often do patches come out?

I'd just started playing the game on a20 about a month ago with some friends, and the broken voice chat in a21 reeeeeeeally sucks for the way we play. Not everyone has Discord, and Mumble is a pain in the ass on Macs, so it was really nice to have voice chat built into the game.

 

Since I'm new to the game, I'm not sure what the development cycles are like. What're the odds that the voice chat gets fixed reasonably soon vs having to wait ages for a22?

You will probably see 21.1 in a couple of months or less.  But unless that is on their bug list, I don't think I'd be expecting a fix for that in the next update.

 

A suggestion if you all know each other and have the game on Steam is to just use a group voice chat through Steam instead of the game.  It works very well and isn't distance based the way the in-game voice chat is.

It's listed as a known issue, I'll have to dig around to see if it's on the bug list.

In that case, it could come out in 21.1.  I haven't heard any talk about it on the forums so I don't know if it's a top issue for them right now, though.
