The chatterbox is freaking out on me, it places inserted text in no particular order. You can't follow conversations!

Does this always happen, or just sometimes? If just sometimes is there a pattern?

Well it has probably happened two times out of the ten that I have played. It just kind of stinks when I'm in a big game with others.

Never had it happen, but heard about it. Could it be related to user screen size or resolution? When smaller screens play a huge game, it is hard to see everything.

I think I know what is causing this problem. The chatterbox update is not happening in the main event thread, so the text can get out-of-sync if things are happening in the event thread when the update happens.

This should be fixed in the next release.

Great, thanks Dustin.

Hopefully we can all use the new version without it crashing.!

Good luck!
