[BUG] Voice chat not working after 8/14 hotfix

    I have never had an issue like this before. My microphone works when I click on "test" or "record" but I can't receive or transmit anything. My name doesn't even show up at the bottom when transmitting. It's clearly not even connecting me to the voice server since I don't show up on the coms list of players for my squad. For me that list is blank. Here is what I have tried so far with no change:
    -Rebinding chat keys.
    -Enabling/disabling voice chat both IG and in INI.
    -Changing around inputs and outputs of voice.
    -Uninstalling the game which resulted in "Runtime Error!" So I deleted it manually and redownloaded/reinstalled it. I'm using the launcher, not steam.
    -Tested voice through different internet. It doesn't work.
    -Tested voice on an old laptop through my existing internet. It DOES work.

    So I'm confident it's not my router and there's something going on with my computer. Would it help to use a program to remove everything for a cleaner install? What about running it through steam? It's also on a different harddrive from my OS so I may try formatting it. Looking for any helpful suggestions that I haven't tried.

    Yesterday I couldn't mute someone. At work now so can't test if it's still not working. Something is borked probably.

    Seems like a firewall on your computer is blocking access to their voice server.

    I wouldn't delete or format your harddrive.
