Chat soft locks game on PC

I was just about to post about the exact same issue. It happens to me constantly, and having to Alt+F4 every single time is beyond annoying. Honestly, it feels like the developers have no idea what they’re doing anymore. Every update seems to break the game even further. At this point, I’m starting to wonder if they’re doing it on purpose 
This game has so many bugs now, it’s unbelievable. I’ve made so many posts, but it feels like we’re just shouting into the void nobody is listening to us. Honestly, with the state the game is in, I’m starting to believe they’re breaking it on purpose
