When a match is over and the game switches to the “Allies/Axis win” screen, just a few, seemingly random lines of chat text appear on screen. This forces me me toggle the console to see what people are saying. I’ve restricted the chat height to three lines, but I think that only affects the game when a match is running. Can anyone please give me some input on this issue?
In case you’re wondering, I use…
seta cg_teamChatHeight 3
seta cg_teamChatTime 60000
Where have all the chat text gone?
long time a-go.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. 
to reduce the screne clutter I tried doing the same thing, but it seems a little screwed. I just changed teamchatheight back to normal and it’s ok now. I’m guessing what is happening is whereas in rtcw, q3 etc it would scroll away older lines when new text came, in ET it seems to retain it for the ChatTime duration and hence doesnt show the next line until the currently displayed ones fade. At the round end its basically the same thing happening more obviously?
just what i guessed was happening, figure it makes sense since sometimes even if I said something it sometimes took a while to display.
