PC Chat Window - Stuck

The chat box has always been bugged for me. Issues change with nearly every single patch of the game. Currently, one I hit the enter key to open the chat box, I cannot type in it or exit the chat box window and the game becomes unplayable. Can't respawn, can't do anything since the chat window is still active and open. This requires force closing of the game within Windows. Previously (two patches ago and prior), I was unable to type in the chat box and requires me to click elsewhere on the screen to exit the chat box. In the last update/patch before the currently one, I was able to utilize the chat box normally and it functioned as intended, but no longer the case.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for sharing this in the community. I understand your frustration, and I’m sorry to hear you’re running into an issue where the in-game chat window cannot be closed. We’ve also seen similar reports on Steam.

    Regarding the behavior you described, can you reproduce it consistently in the newly released mode?

    I’m not sure whether the following workaround may help, but some community players have shared that pressing "Enter" once while in the main menu or matchmaking screen, even if nothing appears to happen, can make the chat behave more reliably once you enter a match.

    If the chat window gets stuck, you could also try:

    • Alt+Tab out of the game and back in
    • Pressing ESC once to open the menu, then closing it
    • Toggling the scoreboard or map, then switching back

     

    Thanks again for your patience and support.
