I'm currently playing fourth mission-Assassination, and i noticed that sometimes i don't see any "green text" during  the mission. (like chats between squadmates).
I don't really know whats causes it.
It usually bugs after first message is send.
I started off with fresh pilot, freespace/blueplanet installation is fresh ass well.
During the first playthrough i noticed something is wrong in second dreamscape mission, when Noemi said hi to Hammer of light, but got no repply.
Started over with yet a new profile, and everything seemed to work fine up to Assassination mission.
Text started to work after third "mission restart".

Sorry if its known bug, but i didn't find about that one in any topic i read

That's weird and freaky and possibly an engine bug.

I'm actually having this same problem. I've played through all of Act 3, restarting the campaign several times, along with completing a fresh install with the complete installer and still don't see any in-mission text communication from wing men or other characters. Any suggestions to fix this problem would be much appreciated!

What's your resolution set to? Try adjusting it (1680x1050 might be a good one to try first).

Thanks for the quick reply! I was running at 1920x1080 and tried stepping down resolution all the way to 1280x1024 but that produced no change in my lack of in mission text aside from the hud becoming "doubled" In most missions I might see an initial statement from Laporte, but then no further communication.

[General Battuta]

That is so weird. Can you try the builds The_E posted in the Build Repository thread?

[scotch321]

Just updated to the new patches and builds as suggested and even started a new pilot with no change in the in-mission text. I'm essentially getting something from Laporte (F4 comm log) around 0:00:02 at the start of Dreamscape 1 and then the convoy mission, but no further communication. It's like it is trying to run the text, but stops after the first communication.

I did check the main freespace 2 campaign and I am able to receive communications in there, so I'm assuming it is something linked to Act 3.

Even without the in-text communications showing up, I still think you all made an excellent Act3. If you have any more suggestions, I'll be glad to try them out to see if I can fix the issue.

I have no idea why this could possibly be happening, though I'm wildly guessing something to do with the way the game is handling our custom HUD?

[scotch321]

So I'm not entirely sure why this ended up working, but i tried installing the new cockpit customization vp in my freepsace 2 folder and that worked. I'm seeing in-mission text in all missions I have since played.

OK, this is basically what happened to me as well, should have looked closer than just searching for topics concerning "Universal Truth".

Thing is that it's not at all reproduceable for me, sometimes it happens, sometimes not, and I cannot pinpoint it to anything I do different... Will try if your solution helps with it.
