I know this is probably going to be an unpopular one but the first floor of Eden is just a damn mess of chats to get through and gets so laggy.

Is it not possible to just disable chat rooms from that entire first floor room >.>? Have people put up their chats in the kitchen or another map.

As far as I know, they're unable to disable chats at all. Just Ctrl + F11 to remove chats from your view.

ctrl/shift + f11 has never worked for me; i've given up and just started posting chats of my own :3

[vividort]

it works fine for me, try lookin in the shortcuts options to see if isn't different commands who knows ?

[Necrohealiac]

yeah i'm one of a few with the problem.  It's not that big a deal for me anyway.

[djxstatik]

yeah I agree. Eden first floor mess sucks and its annoying trying to walk in there.

these days, i just try to get used to whatever the game has/not to offer :/

You can't disable chats on one specific map as far as I know, its based on zones which has lots of maps. If you can't use it, make sure its not installed in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files(x86) because Windows 7+ has ridiculous permission issues with those directories if you're not an administrator of your own machine.

i have vista (a whole other issue i know) but it's installed in the gravity directory in C:\. *shrugs* like i said, i don't really care because it doesn't bother me.

They can disable chats next to NPCs etc so you would think they can do it for more of the map.

Did you just completely skip over my post or what?

inu on fire today.

[MonkeyMajik]

As you said it's based on zones (I presume you're talking about zones close to an NPC?) so just make the entire area a non usable zone i.e: just extend the surrounding NPC effect.

[Inubashiri]

Zone Servers contain multiple maps. If I remember right it could only be disabled on the zone server level so you'd disable it for more than one map.

[MonkeyMajik]

That's not what I mean though. Haven't you noticed you can't put up a chat next to NPCs? They have some coding that blocks you from opening a chat window within a certain radius of them. I'm just saying use whatever system is in place for that and make that whole map basically "chat dead" cells.

well as a temporary fix does ctrl f11 or shift f11 work for you?  it doesn't for me which is why i don't automatically assume it works for everyone else.  if the chats are affecting in game performance you could use those commands or conversely just hit f11 to remove everything from your interface (f11 is the only thing that works for me).

If you have an antivirus you need to add the RO dir as an exception

[Necrohealiac]

is there a specific reason why anti-virus programs don't like shift/ctrl function commands?

[Inubashiri]

Some antivirus programs are too aggressive in their heuristics, all games suffer from this.

[AzureKikn]

Or the cm/gm's could just tell everyone to use their chat bs somewhere else. Why should players have to suffer because other players can't just move on! What's wrong with pront for the chats? or somewhere that isn't the main part of questing that a major percentage goes to...

[Necrohealiac]

it's specifically because it's a central hub that is readily accessible for all that makes it such a popular spot to put up chats.  if you needed to set up a chat and wanted maximum exposure, you would and should put it there as well.
