im actually surprised i havent seen this topic anywhere in here yet.
I think this issue came with the last patch. And i noticed it very late since i thought people simply didnt want to reply to my chat.
Sometimes when i open a game and my friend joins my game, the ingame chat is not working and we noticed very late. And with not working i mean that i see my phrase in the chat window and so it seems it has been sent, but in reality the other player dont receive the message.
But then the next game i open, it suddenly works again. I have not found a pattern yet on when it works and when it doesnt, it seems to be totally random, i have no idea really… and worst thing is that you dont even notice when it happens
Has anyone noticed this issue too ? or have you wondered why other people are not reacting to you ?
yep still experiencing this - its been this way since launch - chat just stops working, period. i dont know why, in some cases i have to make a new game, other times i have to relaunch the game.
VERY annoying and frankly i dont get why 4 months later from a triple A studio known for polish…something as simple as chat not working hasnt been fixed yet…i dont know how hard this is to fix or why it would take so long but its very frustrating for trades when it RANDOMLY stops working and i dont even see an acknowledgement for it - probably because then they’d have to commit to fixing it…
very annoying
lol, I don’t think that’s been Blizzard in a long, long time. They used to be triple A and known for polish tho, for sure.
Also yes chat bug happens to me as well, no clue what causes it, it’s seemingly random
i hear ya, but…its just a CHAT box…i mean even the cheapest, dumbest and lamest games can still effectively get their chat working at the least…like if you cant even code a chat UI to function what CAN yo do?
id say im being hard on them here but the truth is…im not - its a Chat Box UI in an online game, what’s the problem that 5 months later it still happens and is extremely disruptive to the point of having to relaunch the game in some cases to get it to work?
games from 20 years ago had functional chat with less bugs…are we that bad now?
/endrant
I still think it’s hilarious that they went out of their way to add a Refresh button to the game list, that is completely non-functional, it’s essentially a second chat gem, except at least the chat gem is a fun addition. The Refresh button is just like…why is it there? Why doesn’t it do anything? Truly a strange timeline we live in.
