Bungie Answered
Push-to-talk + Tap + Controller + Steam Input = Open Mic

Description of Issue - When using a Dualshock PS4 controler with steam input and the social voice chat configuration set to push to talk and tap, the microfone stays open all the time. I think this is due to the fact that in the controller configurations it is not possible to set a key on the controller to manage the voice chat that is on a function of press, only the hold function.

Hello!
Thanks for reaching out and for including video recordings. I'm sorry to hear push-to-talk hasn't been working well with your DualShock controller. Please note that Marathon on Steam only has partial controller support, and voice chat/push-to-talk may not be optimal. You may need to switch to a mouse and keyboard setup for this feature to be fully functional.
So, there is no fix? Any plans to turn a parcial controller support into full controller suppoert?
Hi, thanks for following up.
While I am unable to confirm if and when controllers may receive full support in the future, you're welcome to send this as feedback to the dev team. The best place to share game suggestions is on the Marathon Discord where the devs can see your feedback. If you haven't already, feel free to share your feedback on controller support there!
Thanks a lot!
Hello, I am having the same issue with xbox controller input on steam. The push to talk button does not work specifically in lobby while using steam. My team mates find it annoying becuase they can hear me both in discord and in game. If i turn the crew chat to off. Then the proximity chat button does not work while in game.
