Summary
After a round ends and a new round begins, the in-game text chat no longer appears or functions for some players in the session. Messages cannot be seen, effectively disabling communication for the remainder of the match.
In the videos attached - After transitioning into a new round, text chat stops displaying for my xbox account (video 1). Messages are still being sent from my PC account (Video 2), but they do not appear on console, making chat effectively unusable after round change.
