Summarize your bug Text chat is not displaying any text (when I type text in my name is in yellow).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Access text chat in a server of human players or type text in chat, there is no response.
What happens when the bug occurs? I cannot see any text in the chat from anyone and if I enter text my name is shown in yellow.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to see some kind of text in the chat from other human players.

Good evening, I just reinstalled Battlefield 2042 a few days ago (coming back after a 2 year break from the game) and I can't see any text chat in the text chat box when I play on a server with human players. 

I can change the channel but nothing shows up. I can type messages and see them in the text chat box.

I tried repairing the game, changing my name from 1bitrsquared to 1bit2 and then to testname123 just in case there was some kind of chat filter in action.
I also checked my firewall to make sure the game has access through all necessary connections and even disabled my internet security to see if it would make any difference but no joy.
 
At first I thought it was just a coincidence and players were just being quiet but I think there is some kind of malfunction that is beyond my control.
 
Is there someone who can please explain what is going on?
 
Thank you in advance

  • For the life of me I can't find my save files. Please send file directives to find it.
