I just reinstalled UO and logged in with the enhanced client. However there is no overhead text or chat window. I tried removing and reinstalling the game with the same result. Does anyone know how to get the chat text/window thing to show up. Even if I go back to old client and try using "/" nothing happens. On the enhanced client nothing happens when I hit enter. Does any ideas? This makes it impossible to play the game.
There is nothing under "user settings" options that allows you to switch between enhanced and legacy chat. But under the legacy tab there is a check box. I tried that and nothing changed or happened. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Look at the over head text tab
I have been playing with that tab since I re-installed and it does not do much for me as no speech text displays in my game, Still can't hit enter and input any messages.
Regular Client. I tried Pinco's to see if that was it but my virus protection threw a fit so I deleted and reinstalled EC.
One option is to reset the UI locations by clicking on the "Reset UI Loc" button near the bottom of the Options tab.
You could try backing up and deleting your character file
I turned mine off on purpose at last EM event. In EC it's User Settings > Overhead Text > Overhead Chat .
Try Left Control+R.
Under Options > User Custom Interface > Try Default.
Under Legacy uncheck Legacy Chat Mode.
Could also be hidden behind something.
