World of Warcraft and other Blizzard Games stopped working

[alyzrazor]

I don't know if this is a bug, or something has changed. But NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter stopped working on every blizzard game I tested. We know MS owns them. Perhaps is there any workaround to make this incredible solution to work?

Every version of World of Warcraft classic and retail, Diablo and Overwatch as well.

Also there is a software called Stream Social Ninja that I tested that uses many different TTS providers including system. Doesn't recognize this solution only default ones.

Hopefully this will lead to some miracle. {praying}

Hello,
natural voices stopped working on World of Warcraft about a month ago, unfortunately. I think it doesn't depends on NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter. Blizzard changed something, probably to avoid some incompatibility with the game. #37 (comment)

The issue in World of Warcraft is tracked in issue #37. You can also check if the suggested fix works in other Blizzard games.

As for Stream Social Ninja, it's an Electron/Chromium app, so it can only use OneCore voices. This is a long-standing Chromium issue that unfortunately affects all Chromium browsers and apps.

No one has bothered to fix the Chromium issue yet. As a workaround, you can copy the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\TokenEnums\NaturalVoiceEnumerator

to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech_OneCore\Voices\TokenEnums\NaturalVoiceEnumerator
