So I recently switched over to the new chat service, but I noticed often times it will not appear for me at all, although the little chat icon button will near the menu button, which indicates it is enabled.
I disable the chat for a time during the load process, then I re-enable it.
Never had issues with the old chat system, so I am guessing that it is from the new implementation. Not sure if anyone has experienced this for themselves and if they could offer a solution.
Are you using CoreGUI to disable chat? You don’t need to do that anymore (and it can be buggy).
There is an Enabled property in the configurations inside TextChatService. To disable the chat box, simply disable ChatWindowConfiguration and ChatInputBarConfiguration and vice versa.
