Since the last patch, there are matches where I cannot chat with people at all. I try to use chat to relay information and when I hit the key to use a channel, nothing happens.

It gets embarrassing when it takes me a while to notice.
Hit G for General chat
Type something and suddenly my view changes from hitting H or N plus weapons fire depending on buttons pushed
All because G did nothing.
Same for Team and Lance channels.

Seems if I use Chat during the Ready Screen, this does not happen.

This has happened three times since last patch, sent in information on it today to Support.

Did you remap the chat buttons? By default they're T, Y, and U for All, Team, and Lance

Merchant - if you had remapped to G, and subsequently run the repair tool, it may have reset your mappings - take a look in options and good luck with resolution.

i´ve a similar problem http://mwomercs.com/...-game-use-chat/

do you start the game simultaniously with other players, or a little later?

don´t look at the timer, that is different, my premade group members are mostly on their way and i still have the team list and the timer with some seconds left, sometimes about 59, then the timer jumps to zero and the game starts without chat possibillity


btw, repair tool and reinstall does not work, i´ve just testet both and the problem is still the same

Also I have noticed that when you are typing in chat and at the end of your sentence you have the letter "P" upon pressing enter, the Mech will go into shutdown state. It has been like this since Beta and hasn't been addressed yet.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I will send a message during a match and it will randomly NOT pop up. One time this happened, somebody responded to my 'invisible' message, so it may be that it isn't visible to you, but your message IS being sent for others to read. Can't be sure however, and I am sick of sending out messages twice, wasting my time during battle AND looking the fool sending the same message out.

Without exaggeration this happens to me about 30% of the time. PLEASE FIX!

Not related to the Repair Tool or Remapping, this happens randomly in some matches, it is fine in others.

There are times I enter a match just as the team is moving out or just before, I do not get the Ready screen, will have to watch for it.

That only happens to me if the chat box does not open at all.

I get times where messages seem not to appear, I send it again.
Other times, one message will appear twice when typed once.

I've been having these kinds of problems as well. This especially affects me, since I prefer to support other mechs with TAG/NARC spotting, or relay information or orders to others.

In addition to chat sometimes not working, there also seems to be a squelch function that works after about 4 entries without any explanation of what is happening.
