Chat icon doesn't show 99+ at 100 or more messages

[Wheatly199]

Ever since a very minor change was made with the chat icon after the CoreGui change, the chat icon has stopped displaying 99+ at 100 or more messages, instead getting stuck at 99

Images of the bug, using bee swarm simulator as reference (pretty much everything that displays in the bottom right gets logged in chat)

As you can see, the chat is currently showing a backlog of 96 messages, there are 6 things about to get duplicated into the chat, 96+6=102, which is greater than 99, so 99+ should display

Instead, a few seconds later, it simply gets stuck at 99, despite there being more than 99 messages in the backlog

This can be reproduced in any game that has chat active, as this is more of a CoreGui problem

Expected behavior

The chat icon should either show more than 99 messages, or just display 99+ like it used to

Thanks for bringing this up. This is working as intended, however we are interested in improving this space. Thank you for the feedback!

What is the new GUI planned to look like? Will it just cap at 99 or have some kind of +?

[Wheatly199]

I feel like there’s no reason to remove the + when there’s 100 messages or more, the lack of the plus is just generally confusing

Make the chat icon show 99+ again when you reach 100 or more messages and then we can close this topic out fully, it shouldn’t be that hard to change (unless the CoreGui is pure spaghetti code at which point i can’t help yall unless yall rewrite it again)
