Yashamalu 10 Posted December 25, 2013 I've been playing Wasteland for a while and recently all the in-game text chat and killing notification are not showing, so I dont know whats going on in the map, whether I killed someone or not, and worst of all, no way to avoid team killers. Anyone coming across such issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted December 25, 2013 It may depend on the server and/or mission. I know for a fact that you can turn off the killing notifications, but I'm not sure about the chat. I believe you can disable the chat with scripting though, so maybe the server updated the mission or turned off these features? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicolasroger 11 Posted December 25, 2013 Sometimes when i play coop with a friend, one of us can't see the chat at all. Maybe it is related. It is a bug. It doesn't happen every mission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yashamalu 10 Posted December 27, 2013 I dont think it is server side, cause no one else on that server had the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roshnak 41 Posted December 27, 2013 I haven't played multiplayer since the latest patch, but there was a bug where alt-tabbing or hitting escape would cause all of the chat, player names, and VOIP identifications to disappear. Going back to the server lobby and then rejoining would fix it. I have no idea if this has been fixed, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doodle 10 Posted December 29, 2013 try looking in the SETTINGS under stream friendly Ui - I had this issue and realised that this setting had "reverted" back - I re-enabled it and all good again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziiip 1 Posted January 1, 2014 I've encountered that on multiple servers/missions. It's a bug. The visibility may change during one session. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redfield-77 10 Posted January 1, 2014 The AiA mod causes this. It changes some of the fonts for some reason. AiA is a great mod but thats one of the bugs I noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxp2high 23 Posted January 1, 2014 It's an Arma 3 bug. It's also happening with no mods running at all. Very randomly, some people see chat, others don't. We tested it specifically and played around with showChat. I've added this to our server side addon (client injection) to fix it: // Chat fix [] spawn { player addMPEventHandler ["MPRespawn", { [] spawn { sleep 2; showChat true; }; }]; showChat true; sleep 1; showChat true; sleep 5; showChat true; }; The list of such workaround fixes is getting longer and longer :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
audiocustoms 375 Posted January 1, 2014 try looking in the SETTINGS under stream friendly Ui - I had this issue and realised that this setting had "reverted" back - I re-enabled it and all good again Worked for me. Chat shows up now, but i'm not sure if i like it :D "I need EXFIL at coordinates x/y ASAP!" - "You're on an ACRE server, use the radio to call it in and not the side chat." - "OK, but can i have EXFIL? And bring some AT, explosives and MedKits!" - "-.- really? What did i just say?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yashamalu 10 Posted January 3, 2014 OK the problem is solved, but in a rather strange way. I played another server and chats/kill notification are showing, and when I entered the old server I used to play and have problems the chats/kill notification are there again. Of course that could also be that I created a new character. No idea... Anyway, thx for the help guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramblasos 14 Posted January 3, 2014 If you experience same thing again, you can toggle the chat ON/OFF with a combo "CTRL+SHIFT+C" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
