Bubble Chat Not Working

  • Describe the bug. Describe what is happening when the bug occurs. Describe what you would normally expect to occur.

In games that use exclusively Bubble Chat, the Roblox chat does not work. Pressing “/” does not populate a chat box, and the chat button on the top bar is missing.

  • How often does the bug happen (Everytime/sometimes/rarely)? What are the steps that reproduce the bug? Please list them in very high detail. Provide simple example places that exhibit the bug and provide description of what you believe should be the behavior.

Every time. Any game I join that uses bubble chat.

  • Where does the bug happen (www, gametest, etc) Is it level-specific? Is it game specific? Please post a link to the place that exhibits the issue.

This happens in all games I’ve tested, and others tell me the same thing.

  • When did the bug start happening? If we can tie it to a specific release that helps us figure out what we broke.

This started happening within the past hour. (Between 2 and 3 Pacific)

Could you try enable it explicitly by have this local script running from starterPlayerScript and check does this fix your problem?

local function enableBubbleChat()
    return {BubbleChatEnabled = true}
end
game:GetService("Chat"):RegisterChatCallback(Enum.ChatCallbackType.OnCreatingChatWindow, enableBubbleChat)

We are moving the bubbleChatSwitch onto ChatService which will be on with the next release of client, which should be tomorrow. At that time you could enable it by calling ChatService.BubbleChatEnabled = true or just check the checkbox in studio. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Tried that with this game, 🌐CITY-17 | RP - Roblox

No luck unfortunately.

We’ve already tried that now most of my servers you cannot talk in but there was one you we’re able too we shutdown and now we still cannot speak in the game very weird.

and could you try enable the default chat along with this script temporarily? Thanks~

Works in studio, but not in-game.

Restarted several times, still no luck.

Do you happen to fork the chatscript? Or you are just using the default one?

Currently using the default one

Just make sure. So you mean even you check the LoadDefaultChat under Chat Service and publish it, the chat still not showing up?

This seemingly broke for all games that use bubble chat, including mine. This fixed the problem for me: Enable bubble chat? - #2 by TheGamer101

LoadDefaultChat is checked, also using the temporary script you provided in StarterPlayerScripts, still no luck

I think this may be a roblox wide issue, the chat doesnt work for several of the games i have went to.

EDIT: Think this should become a critical issue?

Seems to be the solution for me too, thanks dude.

Is it only with the bubble chat or along with the default chat?
