I’ve analyzed this bug and it has weird behavior.
If I copy-paste the whole of the long string in it seems to work fine.
But if I repeatedly paste a small string in the bug triggers.

Playtest the game or play the actual game? Is the problem only happening in studio?

#4

I’ve tested and it happens in both.

For anyone wondering, you can fix this issue by using the new TextChatService by setting the ChatVersion property of TextChatService to “TextChatService”
