Cant chat after I ready up

I cant seem to chat after I ready up.
also, the start annihilation button does not disappear.
the game plays fine other than that but this is very annoying.

any suggestions?

This happens to me occasionally, it sucks.

There's a known bug for Mac OS X in case you are using that. The "Enter" key isn't caught properly and you need to rebind it to a different key in the settings. But that's Mac only. I don't know about the other stuff unfortunately.

I play on HP

but I will check key binds

btw what stupid feature is this, that you cannot "unready" in the lobby? e.g. if someone leaves the lobby the game will occassionally start without every slot being filled.... maybe this will be fixed soon^^

Oh yeah, that feature is well known as "Beta."

I can confirm that this bug happens occasionally on Windows as well. In fact, the whole lobby system is generally bug ridden. Frankly, I wish they'd just replace it with IRC and some macros.
