My chat log keeps disapearing?

Post by Feweh » 23 Jul 2015, 12:30

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what.. but every so often ingame my chat log will dissapear and reset itself.

To view my previous chat I need to click on the chat and scroll back up to reset it.

Everything was fine last week, now this constantly happens and its driving me nuts.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Or has a fix to this?

The only problem I have for chatlog is that. Whenever I scroll up, it messes up and anchors on that line every time a new message comes up. So, I would have to keep scrollin' down. I usually relog, even though I don't know the solution.

Not sure if we had a similar problems.

I also experience that problem as well, but if you keep jamming it down enough it seems to de-anchor

Elaborate on how you 'JAM' it down...

This is usually caused when you accidentally highlight Something. The chat will think you are still reading it. SO when a new message appears, It will auto scroll back to that line so you can finish. Try seeing if something is highlighted in that line the next time it happens.

They're talking about something entirely different from that... and way more annoying.

Oh. That. I just remembered. It jumps your messages to the top. I sort of got used to it.

I've had my chat log delete itself past a certain point in especially long rounds.

Well That is normal I believe. I think that so you don't start to lag from the massive amount of text. I don't know, I just know all serves do it.

I have not had it disappear completely. But, I have had it simply keep going part way up every time someone says something, as others have described. Usually what I do to fix it is just scroll to the bottom of the log, and click the lowest line of text multiple times.

This apparently was the result of something that happens when you update your BYOND from what I can tell. BYOND added something that has done this as of late to all SS13 servers. I ran with a outdated BYOND for a long time and when I decided to update than this decided to happen
