Why won't chat work for my game?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey there, I came across this today, and I am wondering how to fix it

I tried other games and it works fine, so I don’t know what the issue is…

I added this script recently, but I took it away to test and it didn’t change anything

local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
ChatService.BubbleChatEnabled = true
 
local bubbleChatSettings = {
	BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 170, 255),
	TextSize = 20,
	Font = Enum.Font.Bangers,
	BubbleDuration = 15,
	TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 0),
	CornerEnabled = true,
	TailVisible = false,
	Padding = 30,
	CornerRadius = UDim.new(1, 0),
	BubblesSpacing = 7,
	Transparency = 0.25
}
-- Apply the settings
ChatService:SetBubbleChatSettings(bubbleChatSettings)
print("Chat Service Successfully Updated")

Does anyone know why I am having an issue?

Are you running that in studio or in a normal place?

I tried both and neither work…

Make sure that LoadDefaultChat is enabled under Chat in the explorer.

Yep that is on as well, it is really strange…

Are there any scripts that delete the Chat GUI?

#7

none that I can think of, I haven’t messed with the chat features at all until yesterday…

Can you play your game, open explorer, open up Players > [your player] > PlayerGui and screenshot it please?

Did you make your chat resizable? If so then that must be the issue because sometimes the chat will spawn out of the screen and you can’t resize it.

To my knowledge I did not make it resizable, and ok @camomileex0 I can do that…

I did a video instead on it, here it is:

At timestamp 0:34, yeah, there should be a GUI named “Chat” there. One of your scripts must’ve removed it. If you don’t remember writing a script to do that, you may have gotten a backdoor script from a free model. Search “Script” in your Explorer and see if there are any scripts that you don’t want.

Ok I’ll check, but the only free thing I have in my game was the pets from this 300+ Free Simulator Pets!, and they don’t have any scripts.

Hey there. I had this problem a while ago, and found out that the chat is sometimes taking too long to load when testing in Roblox Studio. If you go into a normal game, the chat should load fine, it is only in Studio this bug occurs. Hope this helps.

I thought this was the case as well, but the first video I posted is actually in the Roblox player.

#16

ok, I checked it, the only script that references the chat at all is the one I put in the topic, it doesn’t make a lot of sense…

#17

Wow, I am REALLY unsure why it isn’t working, I tried turning off all plugins and it still won’t work.

Try to play on a baseplate. If it works then a plugin must’ve injected something so you might have to copy all of your game content to a new game.
