    Cannot talk in Linkshell chat

    I have encountered a persistent bug in game over the period of the past week. I can no longer talk in LS chat. Re-starting the game does not fix the issue. Changing LSs does not fix the issue. Resetting the chat log settings to the default did not fix the issue.

    When I try to type something such as:

    /l Hey guys!

    Nothing happens, I do not get any type of system error message, but what I type does not appear in the chat log. No one else can see what I type either.

    When I go to the linkshell tab in the main menu, the game does not register that I have a LS equipped. When I choose to equip a linkshell, I get the system message confirming that I have changed my active Linkshell, but I cannot access the linkshell menu functions (such as display members).

    Does it work if you log in from a different PC? If not its most likely a problem on the server where only a GM or SE support can help you.

    I tested that yesterday on my laptop, and I can confirm that the game functions properly on my laptop. So it is just on my normal PC that I cannot talk in LS chat.

    You should try the usual stuff then:
    -Move the ffxiv folder inside your documents/my games/ to desktop and run the config again
    -If that doesn't work a complete reinstallation might be necessary
    -Run a checkdisk as ffxiv seems to have the habit to break the filesystem

    Hmm, just tried your suggestion Coldfire, no dice. I still can't talk in LS chat after moving the FFXIV folder out of /my games/ to the desktop and running config again.

    I guess at this point the only really recourse left is a reinstall ><
