TeamSpeak 6.0.0-beta3 - Foundation I Update

[SYOX]

Hey everyone, back with another client update!

With the launch of TeamSpeak 6, we introduced screensharing to the TeamSpeak Client. It was a huge milestone, but it came with high performance costs and heavy hardware demands. This update addresses exactly those issues, focusing on efficiency, stability, and a smoother experience.

The Foundation I Update introduces many performance and memory usage improvements. We introduce GPU Hardware-Acceleration via FFmpeg (you can bring your own if you want! ) speeding up your streams and freeing up system resources. You can tinker with advanced settings allowing you to tailor en/decoding settings to your machine. Furthermore vastly reduced memory usage , a new rendering system for streams , OpenH264 support , true P2P streaming with single-encoding and Linux-Wayland support will improve your daily experience with TeamSpeak. Additionally, you can now secure your account with 2FA and benefit from more Quality of Life features and enhancements. As usual, a round of bug fixes and improvements is also included.

Known Issues as of October 14th

Client crash or failure to start on Windows (AMD CPUs with iGPU)
Some users with AMD Ryzen 7000-series (or newer) CPUs that include an integrated GPU may experience instant crashes or the client not starting at all on Windows systems without AMD drivers installed. To fix this, install the latest AMD chipset and graphics drivers from amd.com and the issue should be resolved.

Windhawk conflict causing crashes
To fix this, open Windhawk’s advanced settings and add TeamSpeak.exe to the Process exceptions list. Thanks to @Ominouscold for identifying this workaround!

Congrats for release, nice to see all these improvements!

[ImScheinox]

Nice Update!

[rn1]

Thanks for improving the screen sharing functionalities and also pushing Wayland support

[MazAXaka]

There’s a mistake in the Russian localization: this word shouldn’t be on a separate line, but should be written like this: “Одноразовый пароль из аутентификатора”
There is also no translation for the “Video” button and all the settings inside.
As I understand it, I translated the client into Russian in vain at the time and now someone else will have to translate it?

[alpaul]

after updating , client dont start anymore…

need the beta 2 installer please or i cant use teamspeak 6 anymore

[revide]

Try installing via the beta3 installer from the website teamspeak.com

If that doesn’t work - delete your cache in

%appdata%/TeamSpeak/

And\or

%localappdata%/TeamSpeak

[alpaul]

same issue, delete all folders, teamspeak dont start. Teamspeak Logo opens and instant close

[revide]

Hm, can you post your tsclient_*.log and maybe your tschat_error.log?
You can DM me.

[Shystriknsk]

I don’t have any keys assigned in the client at all.

[HINGAR]

screenshare bugs:
-screen shared application is losing its quality/artifatcs a lot with high bitrates(even with fiber optic connection thats stable - 4k and above bitrate) and it artifacts sometimes for milisecond then comes back to original quality - from 3 to 3.5k bitrate(60 fps is maintained in every scenario)

Used with latest ts6 server files with latest ts6 update

[Chouyoux]

Rlly great update : improves general quality by a lot ! Congratz !

Tho I relate for “-screen shared application is losing its quality/artifatcs a lot with high bitrates(even with fiber optic connection thats stable - 4k and above bitrate) and it artifacts sometimes for milisecond then comes back to original quality - from 3 to 3.5k bitrate(60 fps is maintained in every scenario)”.
Also a lil sad you didnt fix audio settings not being saved for some microphone devices. A friend of mine is still using TS3 only for that and suffers from having to get everyone join a Discord channel only for streaming for him.

[revide]

Internal tests didn’t showed this exact behavior. You can try to tinker with the Encoder Settings - depending on the type of Hardware-Encoder, you might be able to significantly improve the visual quality. The defaults aim for decent quality with broad compatibility for different GPUs.

[revide]

For anybody else experiencing issues/instant-crash after starting the client (or client doesn’t start at all):

• If you have an AMD CPU with an iGPU (AMD Ryzen 7000+), but no AMD drivers installed, you might run into this issue on Windows-only. Then, install the latest AMD drivers from amd.com and the issue should be resolved

[razorah]

quick stream test to myself : huge improvements!
quality is definately better but the highlight is the GPU en/decoding which makes the picture ALOT more fluid than before - thanks alot!
(running AMD 7800x3d+7900XT for reference)

[ImScheinox]

Which codec was used, av1 or h264? AMD/Nvidia/Intel? What was streamed and at what bitrate?

[Ominouscold]

After the TS update, it crashes and won’t start at all! The problem turned out to be a conflict with Windhawk! I just closed Windhawk, and TS STARTED WORKING! After that, you can run Windhawk again, but you’ll have to close it again later to start TS.

[Aggr094]

Many thanks for the hint. I already installed TS3 again because of this.

[Ominouscold]

Found a way to fix everything! In Windhawk’s advanced settings, you can specify process exceptions. You just need to add TeamSpeak.exe there, and everything will work.
