[quote="Captain Noctis Aeternus":8d88e]The only way I know to see player chat outside the game is kind of weird..

You have to join the game, but then tab out or whatever you yourself do to knock the focus off the game window.

Once outside you'll be able to see your console. In that window you'll be able to see the chat until the game disconnects you. I haven't figured out how to stop that yet.[/quote:8d88e]

If you have the server's rcon password, and you insert it in-game, you won't be kicked for being inactive.
