No in game chat?

[kentikins]

I recently installed cod4 onto a new hard drive but the in game chat is missing.
Commands typed into console don't show up either.

Anyone else ever come across this and how do I solve it?

Thanks in advance.

You may need to adjust your resolution. I have seen it in the past, the text chat is there, but the resolution settings push it out of the viewable area.

Also possible is overscan settings, iirc

The settings like the resolution is not the problem, my settings are exactly the same as it was when they were working on my macbook but i'll play around with different resolutions to make sure.

Did some digging and tried multiple different console commands.
The one that solved the problem was: /cg_chattime 12000
​Don't know why this had changed after he reinstallation.
