Cut scenes not showing the chat bubbles.


 

Posted

Used to be able to read what the npc's were saying during the cut scenes.
I'm not sure wither I tinkered something accidentally on the options or if a patch effected it.
Wondering if anyone else has been having the same issue?
The player made binds during cut scenes seems to be working fine tho.

In your chat windows right click on the global tab and choose edit.

In the selected channels list among the listed channels you should see a blank line between a couple of the channels that are there. If you don't then look at the available channels list and see if there is a blank line there. If so then add that blank line to your selected channels. It is actually the cut scene dialogue channel. It just either has no name or invisible letters for some reason.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

I believe that's to prevent the dialog from appearing with [CHANNELNAME] in front of it in the chat window (in the past, it used the NPC channel, IIRC).

Actually, that's for the 'radio communications' you get from contacts like Nance.

I've had the same issue as the OP where in scenes like 'Protect Lady Grey' in Serpent Drummer's arc, the cut scene wont show Lady Grey's or the Fake Nem's chat bubbles, though it still shows up in the chat window (as long as you have NPC chatter enabled.)

It's a hit or miss, sometimes they display, sometimes they don't.
