When you purchase a voicepack, it will work with the game that you purchased it for.
During the installation process of the voicepack, you will find that it will download HCSTools. This will included the plugin and *all* profiles that HCS offers (you would notice profiles for MSFS2020, Star Wars Squadrons, Star Citizen etc).
So whilst you *can* select the profile in the dropdown list, you will find that the profile (for a game that you don't own a voicepack for) will go and say something along the lines of "No compatible voicepacks found". And then just stop.
It was done this way (as a singular download instead of multiple different profiles + plugin) is because there are users out there who have a grandfathered voicepack license which supports Star Citizen + Elite Dangerous (and maybe a couple of other games), so instead of creating a unique profile+plugin installer for those packs alone, HCS decided to go the route of "All profiles, plugins + extras get installed at the same time" for *all* users.

I bought Astra 2.0 Remastered voice pack for ED Odyssey and installed and updated it. Got everything setup and ok for ED.
BUT I noticed in VA that there is also a profile been installed for X4 Foundations (beta) as well.
As I would like to setup everything for X4 Foundations, I would like to know if that profile is Astra and have all the voice commands ?
Or should I be looking at buying and using a different X4 Foundations voice pack ?
One last question. When setting things up to work with whatever X4 voice pack, is it just the same procedure as I did when I setup ED Odyssey ?
Plus anything else I should know.
Thanks in advance.

UPDATE TO THIS:
Open the HCS Customiser (To access the customiser, you can say "Protocol override customise my settings" or press LeftAlt+LeftShift+LeftCtrl+Enter)
Click "Check for updates"
Click "Update now".
An updated profile will be downloaded for the X4 profile, which should fix this issue for you

When you start up Voice Attack with the "HCS - X4 (beta)" profile selected, what version does it report. It should be reporting in the main VA window something along the lines below.
11:18:24.069 VoiceAttack profile - (c) 2017-2024 HCS VoicePacks Ltd
11:18:24.069 X4:Foundations v2.00 (beta) - VoiceAttack v1.12

Load profile on start up / Global profile should be assigned to a NON HCS profile (if you do have to have a profile load on start up), as this can cause issues when updating.

Hello. X4 problems with the new HCS Astra Voice. She won't connect and work in X4.
So you guys updated X4. I can barely believe it. I thought it would never happen. Thanks for doing it anyway. It's been a long wait. I immediately bought it yesterday.
Perhaps I acted too fast, cos I keep getting this error whenever I start VA and it goes through its routine:
Error:invoke1:readX4binds.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I do not understand what this means. I've edited X4 commands and I still get this. On a run Astra willaudibly respond to commands, but not be able to make anything work in game.
Now I have already been told to go Discord, but discord is really wacky for me to get on. It questioned my email. Then it wanted to confirm my email and then wouldn't accept it since apparently it's already taken, yes by myself! So I can't even confirm it. It was fine years ago when I was last there. Things must've changed with their Security, everything is to apparently keep me `safe`, so safe I can't even enter.
My only choice is to make a new email which I really don't like doing, but then it said I changed emails too fast? What, this is only one change. I'm still trying to get access just to get help on this.
So Discord is really a pain just to get on. All I can say is things must've changed since I was last on years ago. Discord cannot possibly be the only place to get help, surely?
I'm losing hope of getting much help from here since the X4 section is dead, but I'm asking if anyone can help with this issue here with X4? Maybe if I post this on the Elite section, maybe they will know what's going on withe HCS VA error I'm getting?
By the way I'm om the GOG version of X4 and am registered on Egosoft with the game.
Thankyou.Last edited by Seafireliv; 03 May 2024, 05:31 PM.Tags: None
