Is there no way Cosemasters could patch voice control?

Recommended Posts

As you can’t buy Kinect to XBox One X, radio messages are now done via menu=crash 90% of the time.
Can it not be patched in to include voice recognition via headset mic? The more X’s sold, the more people will be stuck with this problem.

I really think if Codemasters are going to do anything to this game they ought to do a lot more than just fix this issue. 

Expect the unexpected regards a patch.

To be fair pCARS update still hasn’t dragged me back even since the patches, I’ve loved F1 so far (only playing career mode so far)
This just suddenly makes voice controls redundant for anyone with an XBox One X which since Christmas I’d imagine is now a growing part of the community. You can’t buy the adaptors and the prices on eBay prove the demand (£130 for a £32.95 adapter (on the Microsoft site (none in stock). They’ve XBox One Ehanced the game in every way superbly but not this MASSIVE issue.

Maybe it’s only me who used it?

Nothing codies can do about this. M$ haven't yet opened up the option of using cortana by devs, but that will likely be the replacement for the voice function of Kinect that games used. It's a pity, look at the many useful ways the Kinect has been used as a cheap means to 3d scan or give vision to robotics projects etc. And for many its main function was voice related. It's too good for that. 

For gaming it crashed hard. We could see this coming when they didn't bother putting the port on Xbox One S.

Someone will work out a way to DIY together an adaptor, all the pinouts and schematics, teardowns are available so someone will work it out.

I reallly hope so. I’d happily buy the adaptor for £30 as advertised on MS website, but out of stock and I know no one with an Xbox one S who got the lead and has no Kinect so it’s still in their box, I’d happily pay them the same. What I won’t do is pay £110 as they are on eBay. That’s just too much to justify for one game that I use it for. F1 2017 is worth £40 + the £32, but it isn’t worth £140 (more actually cuz I bought the deluxe pCARS2

The fact they’re so much on eBay suggests that’s a big demand right now since X arrived, MS are missing a trick by not selling them any more
