Friend chat doesnt show

Hi bayers,
The friend chat does not list any friends after the new version update from Google play, i cannot form guilds and cannot complete guild quests, any solutions will be appreciated.

 

I am experiencing the same problem. Friend chat has not crashed for me as it would often do before the update. Instead, I can chat with all my previous friends, and new friends I only can only type into the text input box and when I hit enter the result is blank. So, just to confirm that this is not just a problem with the OP's 'puter or game.

 

Is it just me? I've pretty much abandoned all chat in Battle Bay. For whatever reasons the chat windows simply don't work like a chat window. They don't really tell me who's on. They don't really tell me who's saying what. The only thing I use the friend pane for is the fleet button. I do my chatting in discord where you can just chat.

I should say that the private person to person chat does work exactly the way you'd expect. You type something and the other person sees it.

 

I'm facing the same problem. On my private chat I unable to search my friends even the game's friend. People text me it shows notification but it's blank.
