### Issue Type (Required):

Other

### Issue Description (Required):

I have been having internet issues over the past week or so, but I’ve noticed that after reconnecting, I cannot use any text chat. It appears, judging from the ‘alerts’ in chat, that I leave the strike team channel and am not actually put back into it when I rejoin. This issue persists even after the mission is complete.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Disconnect Internet mid-match
2. Rejoin after Internet reconnects
3. Open chat box, type something, attempt to send it.

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

No, I don’t use mods

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam
