Troubleshooting¶
My messages aren't showing up¶
- Check that you're in the right channel with
/f c <channel> - Verify you have permission to use that channel
- Make sure you're in a faction (required for some channels)
- Ensure you have the correct faction relationships established
I can't switch to a channel¶
- You may not have permission for that channel
- Some channels require specific faction relationships
- Staff chat requires special permissions
- You may need to be in a faction first
No one is responding in a channel¶
- Confirm the channel you're in with
/f c <channel> - Check if anyone else is online with access to that channel
- Faction channels only work if you have faction members online
- Try switching to global to see if chat is working
