Bugreports
Currently known bugs:

- Lagspikes (also death etc. but that is not a bug, but rather limitation of how it can be implemented) may cause some messages to not show up. [ Will be fixed in a future update as a new feature where old messages are shown when re-joining servers and periodic check if all messages have been added to widget ]
- Certain symbols like slash in servername can break the JSON and cause it to not work properly.

Hm, you running the game with a language pack? If so, which?
I am currently trying to get it to play more nicely with language packs for example.

No worries, I will try to get an update out before weekend even if I can't fix non-english not being displayed properly by then :)

The chatbox will open periodically and show previous chat, sometimes it will resend chat from other clustered servers.

Hm.. Do you have same name on some of the servers?
Not had that happen for our cluster yet afaik.
Any additional info you can provide would be very helpful in figuring out what the issue might be :)

So all the servers have "iLGaming.net - <ServerName>". Could it possibly be that they all start with same string? I am not sure what more info I can provide. Some times it will just pop the chat window open and show the previous messages, but other times it is re-sending the message.

Sorry Bud, but i think thats not the case because i run 8 servers also starting with the same string and have no issues at all.. maybe your problem is backend-related?!

I have a 9-map cluster running and don't see this behavior.
Do you maybe have a localization language set on the ARK servers? I can do some testing to see if that cause any weird behavior.

I haven't changed anything with language localization. I did have a bit of trouble getting the backend setup until I found that we needed a redis server as well. After that and using 127.0.0.1 as the IP it worked fine for a few days I believe.

I am running the cluster, redis, and webdis all on the same box, running linux. Using Ark Server Tools to manager the cluster.

Ok, good to rule out what could be causing the issue.
I do have a suspicion that the old messages array in the mod gets cleared if it fails to grab messages from the backend under certain conditions (even if there are safeguards against that).
I'll have to try and create a worst-case scenario where I try to get it to fail and then see if I can find additional ways to prevent it :)

Pushed an update that might have fixed sending non-global chat and also receiving duplicated messages. Please don't hesitate to report if this still happens :)

When someone writes messages in local chat, these messages pop up for everyone in the global chat.

Help

Hey, sorry for late reply! Sometimes it bugs out and doesn't register the key used to open chat and if that someone doesn't have the game in english it can happen.
I am working when I am able on a possible fix for this.
