Text Chat on Console Issue

  • I've noticed that whenever you enable text chat on console, that a dialogue box appears that enables you to use it. However, after I type a message, the dialogue box for the text never goes away - the ominous and empty, black dialogue box just sits there in the upper left corner of my screen taunting me. I've been trying to figure this out for months (no joke), and finally figured it out. It never went away, because I had the bad habit of pressing B to cancel, or back out, like you do with pretty much everything else in the game. I figured it out because a friend recommended that I press the back button instead. I did, and it disappeared.

    So my question is this: why doesn't the text chat dialogue box also disappear when pressing B? I think that this would be a small, but a very much needed QoL adjustment.

    EDIT: I also noticed it does this for all other menus in the game - pressing back kicks you right out, whereas pressing B only backs you out to the previous menu. Does this have something to do with it?

  • Hi, I know this was 2 years ago and I am hoping you find this because it bugged me too. All you do is act like you are going to type something, leave it blank, then push enter, the text box should go away in a few seconds, I hope it helps.

    So you opened it up, wrote your message but didn't send it? As soon as I send it, that dialogue box is gone for me...

    It must be a glitch, it shouldn't be doing that. I am not sure how that can be fixed.
    The only thing I know how to fix is getting the dialogue box to disappear, try looking it up, you may find something on it.

    To make the dialogue box disappear I did push send but left it blank then in a few seconds it disappears, I am not finding much on it online but you can try.

    Wrong person, @Galactic-Geek is the one, you want to reply to...I got no issues

  • @schwammlgott

    Oh it looked like you were asking something due to an issue you were having, my bad, haha.

  • @zombiehippofart no problem, I thought maybe it's working for me because I use the chatpad...

  • Ahoy maties!
