So I've noticed also, that while playing, and I try to pull up the chat window, it won't stay up. I'll hit the chat button (which for me is ENTER because I was sick of trying to launch a grenade and accidentally hitting chat instead, and then scrambling to hit escape while getting shot at, ending up in my death.) And it seems majority of the time, that as soon as I hit the button, the chat box disappears again. I'll hit the button, and the box comes up for maybe 1 second, and then disappears.

And not only that, also sometimes when it does stay up, the chat I put in won't send. But for the most part, the box won't stay up at all.

BUG: Chat box won't stay open long enough to type anything in. I have to literally hold the button down to type something in, and then once it's typed in, I have no way of sending the chat.

CAUSE: When trying to chat.

REPRODUCTION: Pretty much every time I try to chat in game.

EDIT - SEVERITY: 4-5

I'm going to guess that it's because you bound chat to 'enter', which'll open the console with a Say command, and then it'll execute that blank say (which does nothing). Try rebinding it to  instead, unless you're using that key for something else.

In which case, that's not a bug, that's just binding a key to two different core UI functions.

BTW, the bug report severity scale goes from 1-5. 9 would be "this bug murders babies".

i was able to chat ingame, the problem i have is, that u barly notice it because its just like the notification for kills and deaths.

they need to highlight it somehow and a toggleble chatwindow whould be nice too, to keep track with the plan.

why whould you want to chat there. we dont need a global chat which is spammed all the time. make friends and chat via friendlist.

I'm pretty sure BeefC4ke means the staging screen (where you select which mech you're going to respawn in during a match) and not the Garage screen (where you buy and modify your mechs when you're not in game). It would be important to be able to see what your team is saying.

And, yes, the chat needs to be separated from the killfeed.
