Tf2 chat problem help me.

tongde · 16 Jul 2026 at 20:33 · permalink

I have this chat problem in tf2 where i cant see both voicelines and normal chat messages that i send, while i can see what other people type, not only in casual, but also in community servers and a skial server, in the skial server even the skial system messages (usually just talking about fake admins and credits) dont show up (they used to show up before i had this problem). Has anyone had this problem or does anyone know how to fix it. I tried restarting the game but it wont work, checked the settings, nothing happened. How do i fix this its really annoying.

1. Enable mouse input on the scoreboard (Advanced Options > HUD Options > Toggle on "Enable mouse input on the scoreboard", or enter tf_scoreboard_mouse_mode 1 in console)
2. Join a random casual server
3. Right click on an empty player slot and click on "Mute" (wait for a player to leave or find a different server if there aren't any empty slots)
4. Use a voice command or type in chat to see if you can see your own message

easiest way is to join a server, open the main menu (press esc) and find the button that looks like an ear with an x on it.

click it and a menu with all the players in the server listed will pop up. find your name and click it to highlight it, then click unmute.

you can also use console commands.
