I forgot to add that I play PC only. As far as "works well for most goes", well I doubt that. In AS games at least 2 and sometimes all have the same issue.
In my ALT games, the loss of chat most often happens when two or more “actions” overlap, such as an opponent conceding a putt while your putt meter is in motion. And then, if the concession ends the hole, the game tries also to show the scorecard, thus making three almost-simultaneous “actions” on the screen for the person putting. The one who was trying to putt loses the chat, not always until their next stroke….. sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.
Sometimes, writing in the chat box or sending a completed comment while the above type of things are happening also causes the writer to lose chat.
While I wish the problem could be fixed, we have been able to cut down the number of times it happens to us by doing our best to avoid multiple simultaneous “actions.”
