Playing Battlefield 3 on the PlayStation 3? Experiencing voice chat issues? Well, guess what? The problem has been apparently fixed! DICE has released a patch that addresses VOIP issues players have been complaining about for the past several months. It should be downloaded to your console automatically the next time you launch the game. Furthermore, the developers have said that some players may be experiencing issues because of their connection setup with the official PS3 Bluetooth headsets. If you do own one, here’s some advice that may prove helpful:

If you are using the SLEH-00075 Bluetooth Headset, it must be recognized by your PS3 console by connecting it with a USB cable before play. Once connected, you must also enable the HQ Mode for this headset, which can be found on the XMB in the following location:

Settings

->Accessory Settings

->Manage Bluetooth Devices

->Press TRIANGLE on headset

->Information

->High Quality Mode

If you still have issues registering the headset, please go back to Accessory Settings->Manage Bluetooth Devices and delete all registered headsets. Once this is done repeat the above steps.

Expect to hear more on Battlefield 3 in the near future.
