Since the update, I haven't seen any text chat in public lobbies, I can see
what I'm typing, but can't see anything anyone else is.
Is it just me or does anyone else have this issue?

Yeah, it seems like you can only see the messages you or your friends wrote - iirc this happened before, I think after the last update, and it was fixed soon, so hopefully it won't last long now either.

I've tried support and they seem to be just going through the usual troubleshooting, hasn't fixed anything.

Chat works on jobs/heists and when your waiting to join. I asked some of my friends if they have the issue and they don't, so it seems like it's only some players who are having the chat issue.

Hope it is fixed, not sure there is anything locally/on my computer that I can do to fix this.

So your friends can see text chat from randoms in freemode? Interesting, I'd guess it would affect everyone...

Yea, I was thinking it was for everyone, but now I think it's just happening to random players and not all. I'm going to wait until tonight to see if any of my other friends are on and ask them if they have the same issue.
