I've been having a ton of fun with Brink, but this post is about some intermittent problems that drive me CRAZY!!

I can't see the chatlog anymore. The "global" button has always been greyed out for over a week now, so there is no way to see what I missed during a firefight.

Apparently there is voice chat in brink. I wouldn't know, because I have never heard another person speak, even if there is a head-set icon over every other player. What am I missing here?

I have been encountering some really weird bugs. In one match today, all the opponents were invisible, in another, nothing I typed would ever appear on-screen.

What the hell is going on?

Edit: The last patch fixed all framerate issues, so at least that's good!

Generally, you need to be in the same fire team to talk

Thanks! (Sounds dumb, but there's only one way to learn)
