I only noticed recently that when I am downed or killed, I cannot text chat anymore. The option just doesn't work anymore. Now this maybe contentious, but when I am left to die by some idiots, who are usually friends, and would prefer a duo mode. I like to remind them via text chat, that this is a team game and maybe also that they are ruining the game, but no, I can't do it anymore. Now I get that some people go overboard and threaten and spew bile at teammates for leaving them to die, but there is a mute button. So could I ask why you have taken this decision?

You should be able to type/text on PC when you're downed or killed. If you're typing right after you're killed and it shifts to recap screen you can momentarily lose what you're typing, but once you're spectating a teammate it should allow you to re-type again.
Are you using any overlays? It's possible a third party program could be interfering with it.

Hi and thanks for the reply, but I am on ps4 console. Chat has always worked up until one of the recent updates. Normally I just pressed the touchpad and the text option would appear. Unfortunately not anymore. Oh and by the way my touchpad works fine for getting the map up with a click, so its not that.

When you die the screens that pop up are really annoying. I assumed it was to stop players swearing at each other in chat. Not that I would ever do that!
