How To Fix Game Chat Not Working With Rust On Xbox?
- Is Your Microphone Muted?
You can check your microphone’s mute status by following the steps below:
- Press the Xbox button on your controller.
- Navigate to Settings and select Devices.
- Select your headset and make sure that it is not muted.
- If you are still having trouble with chat, try plugging in a different headset or adjusting the volume settings of your current headset.
- Are You Using Voice-Activated Chatting?
If you are not using voice activated chatting, the problem might be with your microphone. Make sure that it is plugged in and that there is a green light on.
If you are using voice-activated chatting, make sure to speak into the microphone directly and not from too far away.
- Have You Installed The Latest Updates?
If you’ve installed the latest updates, and you still are unable to use game chat in Rust on your Xbox One console, then we recommend that you try a power cycle of your console.
To do this: unplug the power cord from the back of your console for 10 seconds, plug it back in and wait for it to turn on.
If that doesn’t work, please contact our customer support team using the link below so they can further assist you.
- Is Your Network Laggy?
If you’re experiencing lag in your chat, it’s likely that something on your end is causing the problem. Make sure to check your network settings and see what they say about your connection speed.
If you have a good connection, then there might be an issue with the server. Try restarting the game and see if the lag goes away. If not, contact support for help!
- Check Your Volume Level.
It sounds like you’re having problems with your game chat not working. First, make sure that your volume on your controller is turned up all the way and that no other audio is playing.
If there’s no sound coming from the controller, then check to see if you’re in a party chat by pressing the menu button on your controller and selecting the party option. You should be able to hear other players in party chat even if they’re not in your direct vicinity.
- Restart Your Console.
- Restart your console
- Unplug and replug the power cord on both the console and your modem/router
- Reset the router by unplugging it from power and leaving it unplugged for a few minutes before plugging it back in (you’ll usually find a small button somewhere to press or hold in order to do this)
