TextChatService forced on

TextChatService was forced on our game, despite the Enum still being set to LegacyChat.

Attempting to publish the game or toggle the Enum has no effect. This is affecting all places under the game.

LegacyChatService is getting depracated and Roblox is trying to slowly make the Devs implement TextChatService to the games, they also mentioned that there will be auto-migrations in February 2025.

Is it TextChatService while testing in Studio too?

yeah that’s kind of been indicated with that little popup you see every single time you open studio. Its been there for a few months now.
