Using multiple chat channels

[nwstar2]

Sorry if this has already been posted, could not find it if it has.

It is common to seek to broadcast on multiple channels at the same time (i.e. SIDE and OPS or SQUAD and TARGET).

The ability to do this now seems to be broken ... unless it was removed intentionally?

Thank you for posting, I was starting to believe it was me!

It appears you can select two (or more) channels, but the actual broadcast only goes out on the first you selected.

Most common is when I do Mission and Objective (and also Origin). The message appears (from chat icons at the left side of chat) only to go out on Mission (which would be the first I selected)

This is definitely annoying. I know when flying, two channels are regularly used as you communicate with the ground units at objective and other air units at same time.

Also like to add to this that saving a players name in the chat channel doesnt work as well. It will save numbered channels but wont save a players name.

I've ticketed this. Seems chat got half way through a redo without anyone noticing in test.

temp fix: You can hit 1 channel, type message and hit enter. Then hit next channel and UP arrow and it will put in the last thing you typed (last message); hit enter, rinse repeat on all needed channels.

Good catch Joker. Thanks.
