In game chat problem

[Jochi Khan]

To use the in game chat option....

In the top left hand corner of your game screen you will see (the third icon down) what looks like a gold figure (as in person).

Click on this and it will change into a gold figure with a red figure slightly behind and to the right of it.
This is for ALL PLAYERS to be able to see the chat. The text will be WHITE.

Click on the icon again, to change it to a single gold figure, this is for TEAM CHAT. The text will be BLUE.

A simple way to ensure that you have the right option selected is to press any letter key and then press Enter and look to see which colour the text is.

Saves you telling your enemy what plan of action your team is going to take.

No response from host....

This means that the computers are not 'talking to each other'

This seems to be a regular problem for some players using the Steam Server.

Shutting down firewalls, antivirus programes and opening ports on Routers still don't always allow you to join all games.

Even trying to join games hosted by a friend are not guaranteed.

Some players have been successfull by repeatedly trying to join the game.
