This is a common problem in gaming and game balancing. It's not unique to BHVR, and there is no way to disable voice comms on such games short of very invasive detection software. Even then it wouldn't stop people from running discord on their phone or something else, and would greatly diminish attraction of the game to people if they cannot play with their friends.
There's not really much that can be done about this. Communication is overpowered, evolution tells us as much, but there's no real way to adjust games like this for that feature.
so you mean if they can fight they allow it ? there are much way againist it but i bet they dont care it as long as they earn money from it think
I mean the only way they could fight it, invasive detection software, would make a great deal of people uninstall their game outright. And even that wouldn't stop it. It's a lost war. Kind of like trying to vacuum the water off your driveway in a storm - what's the point? Yeah you may mitigate something, but it's ultimately a waste of energy and effort.
2026 and people still think that Voice Chat is cheating.
Even IF the Devs would do something that things like Discord or Teamspeak are detected and people would not use it, what do you think will happen? All the casual SWFs will just quit. They want to play and chat with their friends, BHVR would make that impossible, so they would have no reason to play DBD.
Meanwhile, sweaty SWFs would keep playing, because they would go out of their way to have communication (e.g. using their phones). Great Job, you now really only have sweaty SWFs and also killed a large portion of the playerbase.
Let alone that Consoles have built-in voicechat, which BHVR would not be able to do anything about.
EDIT:
Let alone that all of your Discussions are about Discord and they start back in 2022 (!!). At some point, you really need to stop and accept that you are wrong.
Topic: it's impossible to actually stop it from happening, BHVR has said repeatedly they are okay with it if not outright supportive, a hypothetical about what the game would be like with no communication is cool to think about and all, but its not possible that would ever be implemented.
Maybe just a few more posts will change people's minds.
Meanwhile, sweaty SWFs would keep playing, because they would go out of their way to have communication (e.g. using their phones).Ah, back to the 90s/2000s for gaming.
cheats are same even 2002 or 2026 is it matter behavioyr says 3 party programs and which gives adventage to player is cheat ? so i dont think thiey they speak about fantasies tells informations about other players!
if its legal then add vice communication on games
cheat is cheat you can look my past no matter
It is not a Cheat. The Devs have said (even before you started opening Threads) that Voice Communication is no Cheat.
There are several reasons against ingame Voice Chat. You can use the Search function to find them. But, to make it short:

you says devs said they would do anything for money!!!!!
guess why devs need to explain something like this?
and if its okay why they dont add something like this on game i wanna play alone and speak with other survivors ?
doesnt this give adventage to swfs?
I suspect this person did not come here to be convinced into thinking comms aren't cheating.
Aven_Fallen
wow really great reason you can make it personal choice not that hard !!!
Sadly I have the habit to think that human beings can be reasoned with.
I gave you a bunch of reasons already. Read them. Understand them.
Because people like you dont understand that Voice Communication in 2026 (and even back in 2016 already) is just normal for a game.
Communication is not the reason why SWFs are better than Solos (even if this is not even strictly the case). But reducing Teammate RNG is the reason, if you have 4 good players in a SWF, you have always 4 good players playing together. This just does not happen in SoloQ, there is variance in SoloQ, you might have 4 good players, or you have 1 good player and 3 bad ones.
And I would even argue that 4 good Solos without Comms are better than 4 bad players in Comms. And I am a firm believer that if you put the same 4 players in a game without Voice Chat and then in one with Voice Chat, that the result would be roughly the same.
And last but not least: 99% of SWFs dont use Voice Chat to have the highest chance to win in the game. They use Voice Chat because they want to play and chat with friends.

all of them happen in forum too why do you allow forums then ???
i dnt say my own idea developers says " 3. party programs which does give adventage to player arent allowed" am i wrong ?

arent such adventages comes with discord?????
can solo survivors have such adventages ??????
You clearly are not even reading any of my posts, since you repeat the same nonsense arguments again and again. Just keep opening the same thread for another 6 years, it will surely help.
Individual refuses to listen to reasonable arguments.
Buddy every multiplayer game that has ever existed use comms one way or another.
Aven_Fallen
okay ill not say anything more, just answer are those reasons unfair adventage or not ?
Even if the devs lost their minds and wanted to do something about comms, what exactly could they do?
The consoles have built in chat, which it's separate from whatever game is being played, so they wouldn't know it's being used in the first place. Plus they insist any game they accept cannot mess with comms in any way. And that's more than 70% of the global playerbase right there.
As for PC, what could they do? Ban Discord? Force installing apps and/or scanning everyone's machines?
Ban SWF entirely? That's one of those things that would actually kill their game off. Around half of all survs overall are in some form of SWF, the vast majority in duos.
None of this is enforceable.
