I've noticed that somehow I'm not getting all the messages from chat while alive... they do show up retroactively as soon as I'm dead though. At first I thought I was just too distracted by combat, but it keeps happening even with blocks of longer messages and there's just no way I can miss whole walls of text every single time. It's most noticeable with team chat.

Search only turned up the opposite problem (people unable to send while alive), has anyone else run into this?

I have noticed the same.
Never bothered though. I always thought chat was limited by sensor range and/or blocked by ecm.

I don't really care about the random PUG chatter either, but every now and then someone actually sends tactical info and then I probably look like an idiot who's just ignoring it

I have noticed that i sometimes i type in the chat and can't see what i type.

1. make sure you have the chat enabled in the options.
2. make sure your ping isnt crazy high when its happening.

also i notice that it can only display chat so fast, so if there are too many people entering text it will delay for several seconds. this is really noticeable when your in the after game stats screen

The crazy ping might be a good point... usually it's somewhere in the 120-150ms range, but sometimes I'm getting weird spikes (nothing moves for a few seconds, but the display still shows the same ping as usual). Pretty rare though, otherwise the game would be unplayable.
In any case, I'll have an eye on ping the next time I notice something fishy with the chat.
