! i can't view chat !

by Chatthenator » Sun Apr 12, 2015 1:22 pm

Hello,
My problem is, i can't view the chat. When i do emotes, talk in say, guild, whisper, anything pretty much i can't read what i say or i can't hear onther people say things either. My chat log is pretty much empty. Only thing that appears is like "type /help for a list of commands"... I can only view general chat (/1) but nothing else. I tried disabling addons and even re-installing nostalrius, nothing worked... I once had this problem on Mists of Pandaria and there ijust had to go to chat settings and 'check' all the diffrent chats like /guild so i could read it. But in vanilla you can't 'check' them (as far as i know?) so i can't do much... I can chat for example i can talk in guildc hat but i can't read any responses or anything. Only thing i can chat is general... But i can see chat bubbles, that's what i used to ask for suggestions what i should do. litterally tried everything, from disabling addons to reinstalling to deleting folders etc. This is REALLY annoying because i pretty much can't play the game now (i chat constantly with people) and even worse i missed a guid event from my guild because i couldn't hear anyone chat... I can't see my own messages appear in chat either, only general works properly. Does anyone know how to fix this? it's urgent, my guild needs me! :evil: :cry:

Go to a city after you're level 10 or higher.

Use the chat menu to toggle off all public chat channels.

Type following in chat:
leave 6
leave 5
leave 4
leave 3
leave 2
leave 1

Then use the chat menu to toggle General, Trade, Local Defence, World Defence, Looking for Group and Looking for Guild back on.

Now you should be able to see and talk in all channels.

Ofc i already tried all of this, this problem is probably bigger then just a mistake of leaving channels or something :? And even if that was the problem, it would have been solved my reinstalling already. As i said in my post, i CAN see general, nothing else. Whisper, guild etc (which you cant /leave) are the biggest problem here, ince i never talk in /2 etc anyway :/ I already tried on diffrent level characters, including level 10+ :(
Thanks for the reply but your awnser is way to simple to solve my problem, i wish it was as easy as that to fix it :cry:

anyone else? My guild has 2 co gms, 4 officers and 4 helpers so it isn't a problem if im away for a day or two but my members are getting worried since no one wants to be in a guild with a GM that can't even play the game properly or talk in chat :?

Depending on your installation and operating system, game settings might not be inside the actual WoW folder. But if you're certain that you did a 100% clean reinstall, then that is a very strange problem indeed.

Go into your WoW folder
now go into your WTF folder
Then Account folder
find the folder that says your nostalrius account
then it'll have a folder "Nostalrius Begins"
then another folder that has your character name.

There is a text file in there with the name "chat-cache". Delete it. Restart client, tell me if that works

It actually doesn't because i don't have an account folder inside my WTF folder... There's only a config.wtf thing (which say's SET readTOS "1" SET readEULA "1") Do i have to re-install AGAIN in order to see an account folder or ??? :cry:

While im waiting for nervous' response, does anyone else have possible solutions? If so, please share them because i haven't been able to play properly for over 3 day's now and my guild members are really starting to get worried... :cry: :cry:

Hey Chatthenator,

If you installed to the Program Files and are running 64bit Windows than your Account folder is hiding in:

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft Classic\WTF\Account
