I had a vision...

Well more like a nightmare.

This thread:
http://forums.defiance.com/showthrea...lack-chat-text

Has a PC-only workaround for the text chat issue being experienced on all forums. Not much has been said about the voice and text chat issues on consoles, except acknowledgement which in itself is good...

However, being unable to communicate effectively in-game with my friends/clan etc. is really making it a lonely place.

My big fear is that slowly the fixes will go PC-only and consoles will be left in the dust...to collect dust. And then the consoles will be ejected from the park, get no support and this game will be PC only for a time.

That would be sad. Someone PLEASE tell me my paranoid vision is way off base!

I am on pc but I got a chill reading that anyway. Couple that with the F2P delay and you got yourself one halfway good conspiracy.
I hope it's not rooted in fact.

Oh yea, DRAMS IS BACK!!!! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

For anyone still suffering trying to read text chat - crank up your settings on Gamma and it helps quite a bit. Well at least a little bit. It's almost readable.

Didn't want to be the first to throw it out there, but I was thinking of the same conspiracy theory last night as I was drifting off to sleep at the end of my Silicon Valley travels.

That would suck but I'd get over it. It'd be interesting to see where the money is coming from the most. PC most likely.

Aha so it's not just me! I'm worried, truly am. I'll be moving on regardless of fixes but as Bonehead pointed out, the F2P delayed over 3 weeks now and the mad fiasco we've all witnessed with 2.2 gives me little faith there will be anything left for me to visit in a few months. Reassurance would come in a patch no later than the middle of next week. Beyond that, I'm gonna let my mind run away with this train!

They at least have F2P set up so new players can join up. Consoles...no go.

She lives! *pokes with stick* I need to go to the store to replace the tinfoil I used this week. I'm a slave to fashion and couldn't wear the same tinfoil hat twice.

Thanks, Bonehead. I was getting tired of clowns being the only source of nightmare fodder. o.O

With out the support of console players this game would die very fast imo. Fixes for pc have always been first, less hoops to jump through.Fixes for consoles will come sooner or later. :)

You see anyone b**ching at each other in here? I don't. Seems like we're just having a nice chat in forum zone chat because chat ingame is borked.

Hi Everyone

Well this thread derailed quickly :)

PTS is actually down right now to verify a server side, platform agnostic fix for the text issue. It looks good so far - and we want to get it rolled out as soon as possible to all platforms. More details will follow on that.

The only reason the thread you quoted talked about PC was because our PTS platform is only on PC. That does not mean the fix itself is specific to PC.

All that aside - as a player - Id be worried to know what is going on here too. So I'm sorry I didn't follow up earlier - we had a bad scare (DeadGhost looked like a ghost when we looked into it initially :) ) that this might be a client update, but fortunately its not looking that way (and we needed to be more confidant of that first before giving an update).

DeadGhost will post a follow-up later talking about it the specifics - but quickly: the repro steps to get the black text are for people who changed other specific entries in the settings menu and that combination could result causing text to default to all black. It was compounded on consoles by not being able to change the value back. If you did not typically change settings from their default, or did not change the other settings, you wouldn't have the issue.

Glad he's not dead for SURE! Thank you for the info, I did understand PTS was PC only of course...

Yes we do derail quickly here, don't we??? At least I was laughing tho.

Seriously tho:
I had changed my settings on chat yes, quite awhile back. Added a 3rd tab and tweaked which was shown on the tabs (3rd tab was empty for when I wanted everyone else to just GO AWAY).
ALSO of importance, is that the tab channels do not change properly at this time. Each channel I try to turn off/on is actually affecting the channel two lines above it. So the System and Error channels can't be adjusted at all. I hope this is part of your fix work.

Sorry Rich, I really am trying to keep it civil. I think joking around with "friends" is better than the banter and bickering.

I did not change any setting after the update, my text was all black by default.
