Two quick bugs to report.

1) If you change teams after the team you're joining has a commander and the countdown is going, it says 'No Commander' - the scoreboard doesn't list who is commander, but there is still a commander.

Here's a screenshot showing what I mean:

I have had this happen several times, but admit I haven't checked to see whether the server was running any mods... It lasts for the entire round.

2) When you type a text chat in game, when you hit Enter to send it to everyone, the last character is missed off the sent message. I *think* this works on any server but haven't double checked locally. Just a 'while I'm here' thing really :)

Cheers!

    Have had the same issue, just was not sure what was causing it.

    First one is known, second one sounds like a familiar bug, but different. (the beginning was being cut off)
    Are you running any mods? if so uninstall and unsubscribe from them, and then try a local server. Some menu mods etc can still influence your text input.

    K thanks, will test second one tomorrow. Is there a handy place for me to find out whether a bug is known or not before posting here? I don't want to waste your time!

    Okay back on topic.

    @Ironhorse:

    I have tested the in game text chat length on a local server with no mods running.

    On both teams and spectator, in all-game or team chat, if you type in the following (the max limit you can type):

    "This is a giant wall of text that no-one in game can really be expected to read."

    then hit enter, you will get the following said:

    "This is a giant wall of text that no-one in game can really be expected to read"

    The final character isn't coming through.


    Screenshots to prove it (why did I do this?!) can be found here:
