This happens when you simply type /a join or /c join.  /c and /a works fine. If you leave either crew chat or ally chat, then you can also type in public without the bug.

Thank you for the replies! Doesn’t /a and /c require a message after them? For example /c Hello? In this case I would have to write /c every time I want to say something to my crewmates… I use the crew chat quite a lot. The /c join has been working very well until yesterday and it’s still a bug that needs to be fixed, I guess.

Hes giving you a way to use it. Obviously its a teeny tiny bit harder to put in 2 extra characters. But obviously I was unaware of this bug until today.

What I need to know, thats very importatnt is the timing of this. Was this due to my updates last night? http://piratemc.com/2016/06/01/updates-chat-hover-click-events-new-player-menu-chairs-back-back-now-warmup/

Or has apple just picked a poor time to report this and only noticed now? I need to know if this is an existing previous bug, or if this happened because of the changes last night. They are separate plugins so it should not have anything at all to do with last nights updates. But just in case can I get some more information.

It is definitely a result of the latest update @godsdead . No clue where the problem lies within the content being updated, but crew chat and ally chat has worked fine up until today. I logged on yesterday afternoon (+1) and everything was working fine.

I have this bug, but it’s the opposite way around, whenever I type in crew chat it is fine, nothing happens, but when I talk in global it comes up in crew chat aswell, people are telling me to /c leave and /a leave, but seriously, I:

1. Don’t understand why this would help, typing “leave” in my crew chat and ally chat probably won’t change anything.

2. Don’t understand why this is such a popular thing to reply to it? IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!

/c leave and /a leave are commands rather than crew/ally chat messages. /c join and /c leave (also /a for both) are used to toggle a feature where you do not have to put /c or /a in front of a crew/ally chat message. While /c join or /a join are toggled on, anything you say without doing /c or /a will appear in both global chat and crew/ally chat. Do /c leave or /a leave to toggle this off.
