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.
I have the same problem, locks up the game,,have to quit and restart every time,,, Help. EA...
Submitted error report today ,, will see how long this takes for solution.
If you are running MSI Afterburner OSD, shut it off for now, till they find the fix. I can confirm this works on my rig,, tried several times already. It's not the fix, but it's a solution for now until they do fix it. Hope this helps some frustrated gamers.
THIS FIX WORKS EVERY NOW AND THEN JUST HAD IT LOCK UP AGAIN W/OUT OSD ON. SO EA we still have a bug.!!
Okay, to stop this bug for now, is a 2-step method,, 1st: shut off MSI Afterburner OSD. 2nd: Hit the enter button as soon as its available. Make sure you can get in and out of chat before starting gameplay. The 2nd part is important, every time you don't hit enter asap, then go into game it will lock you up as soon as you hit chat. Hope this helps some gamers, until they find a fix for this Bug.
Thanks for the suggestion, but turning MSI Afterburner's OSD did not resolve the issue and persists.
