FANGS & FERNS

Fangs & Ferns

Talking lights the canopy.

Hear the players near you. Leave them behind as they move away.

The frond is your microphone. Connect and it lights leaflet by leaflet as you talk.

Your browser will ask for permission to use the microphone.

Quick fix - Windows

Keep the game audio at full volume

Windows lowers the game by 80% the moment an app uses your microphone. A single setting prevents this for this voice chat, Discord, Teams, and any app. 30 seconds, one time only.

  1. 1
    Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar -> Sound settings -> scroll to the bottom -> More sound settings.
  2. 2
    Communications tab -> select "Do nothing" -> OK. This is the important setting.
  3. 3
    Playback tab -> right-click your headphones -> Properties -> Advanced tab -> uncheck Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.
  4. 4
    On the same Playback tab: set your headphones as the Default Device and Default Communication Device.

Microphone mode

In-game push-to-talk lives in the overlay. A browser tab only sees your keyboard while it is the window you are looking at, so a key you held in game never reached this page. Download the in-game overlay and you can hold a key to talk without ever leaving the game.
