I'm using both english and korean, and whenever i try to type something in in-game chat today after the patch, the game freezes. Keybinds aren't working at all, mouse is frozen too.
I tried to reboot my desktop, repair the game in ea app, disable using Unicode UTF-8 option in my keyboard settings, still didn't fix it
Community ManagerThat’s a totally legit feeling. Hopefully Pointi1978 ’s workaround may help in the meantime. Thank you for your patience.
This is insane. God forbid i forget about this stupid bug and press enter to have a look in chat just to make my game freeze. Imagine selling game for 80£ with a bug like this and not fixing it. Fantastic job guys!
This is ridiculous issue and I always forget that chat is broken and then I have to alt+f4 and then I can't be bothered to play again.
Community ManagerThanks for your reply.
We’ve reported this issue to the studio. Have any of the suggestions shared by other players on the forum worked for you?
- Another workaround if you don't have a controller:
Unbind your enter key from opening the chat.
You can bind "j" to it, for example, and unbind "All Chat," which is "j" as standard.
- The chat window getting stuck may be related to MSI Afterburner’s on-screen monitoring display. After disabling the on-screen overlay, the game was reportedly able to run normally again. If you’re using MSI Afterburner, it may be worth turning off its on-screen display feature and testing whether that changes the behavior on your side.
i have the same experience, when i try to chat, i can't make any input in the game, the game still in the background but i can't do anything beside closing the game and start up again.
it will never be fixed
Community ManagerThanks for helping out here!

Community ManagerThanks for sharing what you found. I’ll pass it along to the studio.
If you are running a third party software that injects a D3D overlay then the in-game chat will stall and lock your game. I tested and confirmed this. In my case the app was ASUS GPU Tweak III (so I use MSI Afterburner instead). This is an issue with BF6 as much as it is with ASUS GPU Tweak III, either company could resolve the issue. Here's my post on it
