The text from players is all fixed up bar text being visible while using the 'look around' functions (not 100% sure if it ever did).
However ingame text doesn't display if you're in an option screen while it's said (being honest, I'm not actually sure if it ever did either?), as far as I'm concerned though multi is pretty much fixored with the nightlies now, we can go on with testing everything as we used to so great work The_E
Oh; Edit, I did get a weird error while typing after I'd died for a while, it said "Error unable to send, player doesn't exist."
