Mumble won't work

Post by jillwelch »

Hello,
My game runs smoothly, but when I launch Mumble from the game launcher, it prevents me from running the game until I close Mumble. After I close Mumble, it won’t reopen as expected. Can anyone help with this? I'm using Windows 11.

Mumble is fully automatic in PR. It starts when you join public server and quits when you disconnect. The only time you need to start it manually is when you want to change audio devices. After that you must quit Mumble before you can continue. Even key binds must be done in the launcher settings.

If mumble doesn't start automatically, open task manager and kill all prmumble.exe processes, if there are any. It is safe to do even when playing, PR will start new Mumble instance if needed. Mumble can also be closed from the icon next you your taskbar clock.

Another possible reasons for Mumble not starting is if you have installed PR on an USB stick that is formatted with FAT32 or exFAT filesystem. PR requires NTFS filesystem. Some third-party anti-virus apps may also cause problems with PR. Microsoft Defender is OK, and it's compatible with PR.
