Communication !!!

[Wilize]

This game really need a way to communicate ingame even if its just a chat,
it will be such a big help when playing with random people!

Plus its starting to irritate me joining a game driving half way true the map and then the host leaves, now if there was a chat i could aleast ask people if they where leaving before start driving

I have absolutely no clue what they thought here. They give you the option to join random games but there isn't even a text chat... And here i'm waiting for the host to accept the mission so i can deliver a trailer.
How did they forget about this?

Chat would be nice, yes.

As far as I know this is a USK/FSK thing. At the moment there is a free chat function (not given words as "hello", "follow me" like in Forza eg.) the game is immediately FSK 16 or similar at least in the EU. Snowrunner is not limited to any age, which probably helps selling the game better or what ever. I don't say it's good that we cannot communicate, But this is probably the reason why.

Sorry for the long awaited answer,
Been without internet for the last month after moving!
But you are absolutely right even small in-game commands would have been a huge difference,
Specially since i have tried driving across 3 hole maps in a truck to try and deliver something that someone els also did

True. Often you can predict what other players do. The more players, the bigger the mess, though. I simply don't play public. Only coop with friends.

If you ever find yourself alone and wanna play with randos, just go to the public discord server. Probably your best bet.

yeah i found my way to there discord yesterday, where i could see that there was a suggestion chat, so i'm thinking of trying to write in there and see if there is any response to why or if they could add a chat to the game

and when it coms to playing with friends i have 1 friend that play it on steam and 2 who have it on epic but so fare it seems kinda hard(EDIT: by hard i mean impossible) to joine or have a epic playing friend to join the game, i really do not understand why they have not just made so you can joine by ip tbh
