CHAT HISTORY
  • Can now scroll back to load up to two weeks of chat history
  • Group chats also keep up to two weeks of chat history
  • Improved display of timestamps, which are now always enabled

And it is also storing 2 weeks worth here...

If you enter something new in chat & close it, it will overwrite it with the latest message you sent

Being able to manually clear your chat history should be an obvious and basic feature to include. Come on, Valve.
