Started hosting a party today and got immediately a notification: "Chat on Hold. Party Chat is not available right now"

 

Chat isn't loading and the notification keeps popping up. Party has been on now for 1,5h and I've seen the notification now ~10 times, not sure if it's actually popping up at the same time there would be some activity on the chat for example players joining and party leveling up or just tryig to connect every few minutes.

 

Few parties I visited as a guest after the update this week had issues with the chat, it wasn't loading at all. 

 

I've seen players posting about this issue on other forums this week but since not sure if this is under investigation yet, creating a report.

@Ilois4 Thanks for your report.
I believe this is a new message. Am I right? I saw it posted on social media last weed right after the update. I'm thinking that maybe the chat is disabled in order to prevent that the party crashes.
Hopefully we can get some clarification about this.

@SalixCat I think this is new, I haven’t seen this in my game earlier and don’t remember seeing posts from other players before the latest update.

Now we wait and see 👀

Following this thread. Hosting a Wedding Party right now with friends only and it's making the game glitchy now.

Had to try so hosted an open for everyone party on Saturday and chat worked normally.

 

Removed the main hobby and career items, so there wouldn’t be too many strangers and room for my friends to attend and chat with 😄🙄😆😬

This just happened in my game today. Wanted to host a wedding party and chat with friends so I opened the party up for friends only and then the chat keeps saying party chat is unavailable. I think this could be some type of bug because as soon as I pressed the button for the party to start the green sims crystal at the bottom right side of the screen became pixelated with harsh lines through it instead of clear to see like it normally would be and then I started having problems with the party chat. My parties fill up fast usually so I thought if I opened it to friends only maybe some of them would have a chance to drop by and chat.
