Hi Laz and thank you for your very valuable response.
I haven't noticed some of the bugs you have mentioned yet, but than
again I haven't been playing around with v3.14 all that much apart
from checking if CUE sheet support has been improved and therefore I
assume that you are correct in your findings.
Can I ask you what player you have? I know you mentioned it in your
initial bug report, but now I can't remember. Was it a Clip+ as well?
The player itself may not matter, but do you think that this could be
a player-specific issue?
I think that this is a large enough bug to deserve attention and a
quick fix from the devs. As it is now voice generation is basically
non-functional and for all practical purposes disabled which if you
think about it renders RB partially inaccessible.
The languages I tested were Slovak and Swedish and neither of them
worked so I think that the assumption that this is a much bigger
problem is not unreasonable. Perhaps the devs could roll out a quick
update (maybe v3.14.1). It would be enough to address just these LNG
and voice issues for the time being. I would contribute somehow if I
could, but I have no idea about what needs to be done and how. The
only contribution I can think of is a small donation.
