SS2 multiplayer chat function removed

[67f8beba9431eplaye]

Hello,

The latest version of NewDark changelog has this little line in it:

"Changes and fixes for v2.48
---------------------------
 - SS2 multiplayer chat function removed because CVAA compliance is not feasible, use an external chat
   application if desired"

I was wondering if anybody knew how to directly revert this change, as external chat applications are not overlaying correctly for me. Thank you!

Hell, I don't even know what CVAA is. But generally I would suggest voice chat. You don't want to be caught typing a letter when a hybrid suddenly comes up behind you.

Just to clarify, CVAA: 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/21st-century-communications-and-video-accessibility-act-cvaa)

- Video Game Communications Now Subject to U.S. Accessibility Law

- CVAA accessibility rules come into effect for games as FCC waiver expires

Voice chat is unavailable to me.
