bkthunder Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Not sure if something is wrong on my side. I enter an MP mission > pressing Tab doesn't open the chat window > Pressing LShift-tab opens the chat window but then I can't close it. > I have to keep Tab pressed for a couple of seconds to close it. > I still see the chat, although I can't write > I press LShift-Lctrl-Y to make the messages disappear > pressing Lshift tab doesn't open the chat, so I have to press LShift-Lctrl-Y and then press Lshift Tab again. Seems a bit of a complication compared to how it was :huh: Edited August 5, 2016 by BIGNEWY TITLE Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazonXD Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Multiplayer Chat Button Newest Update? So according to the newest update, the chat buttons have been moved to the UI Layer. However, the entries still exist in the General Layer. I'm not sure if that's part of the problem, but even then, opening and closing the chat box, opening and closing the chat ENTRY box for all or allies are not consistent whatsoever and not reliable. I have posted a video to demonstrate it. [ame] [/ame] AMD 5600X -- Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision -- 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 -- HP Reverb G2 -- Logitech 3D Extreme Pro -- Thrustmaster TWCS BRRRT!

sslechta Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 HOLD the tab down for a few seconds....... Then the menu will come up and you can chat or move the window.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted August 5, 2016 ED Team Share Posted August 5, 2016 chat window issue has been reported. press and hold tab to close seems the best work around, but it is being a little temperamental Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

JazonXD Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 actually i think i have a fix for it use chat read/write command to type to everyone use multiplayer chat - mode allies to type to allies and use multiplayer chat - mode all to open and close the message log (doesn't let you type) the chat open and close command is almost like a master arm switch. If it's toggle off, you won't be able to see any of the actions you made with the above key bindings because they are "hidden". Only until you toggle the window OPEN with Lctrl+LShift+Y by default, you can actually see what you are doing.

dizzy27 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) ED why you set the chat message key to tab compulsively After new update, I can not set my chat message show key to any other key, and when I press the left TAB key,it shows the chat message. ED you set the chat message key to left TAB compulsively? It's my lock target key for 5+ years! Edited August 6, 2016 by dizzy27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston 60 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Now you can no longer assign the TAB key to do something else. I had it set for my Communications Menu, but now I can't assign it to anything at all. It's like it's a totally unavailable key and can no longer be reassigned. :furious: CPU: i7 980x @ 4.2GHz RAM: 24gb Corsair Vengeance MB: Gigabyte Sniper X58 w/onboard Soundblaster X-Fi HD: SanDisk 480gb SSD OS: Win7 Pro 64bit VIDEO CARD: EVGA GTX 980ti FTW MONITOR: LG 34" Ultrawide 2560x1080 MP SERVER: ibuypower i7-4810MQ w/Win7 Home 64bit GEAR: Saitek X-52 Pro; Combat Rudder Pedals; Throttle Quadrants.

dizzy27 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) The file D:\Program Files\DCS World\Config\Input\UiLayer\keyboard\default.lua may cause part of the problem. Edited August 7, 2016 by dizzy27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
