Not seeing some chat messages

So lately there have been some messages in TF2 chat that I am not receiving, i.e. player connects/disconnects, player chat messages (both team and all chat). I only know I'm not seeing them because a friend will sometimes laugh at what someone typed in all chat but I won't see the message myself.

My friend referenced this being linked to a console command, but the only chat-related console command I know is hud_saytext_time, and that's not the issue. If anyone knows the fix to this, that'd be nice. It's minor, but it bothers me.

Did you possibly mute them at one point or another?

When you mute someone if they are mic spamming or what ever it also hides their chat messages

have you filtered them by accident? your chat window should have a little filter button if the hud hasnt removed it. check to see if you have one or more selected.

if a player disconnects in a certain way, it doesn't give a chat message. I'm unsure of what the method is or if its even consistent but I've seen it happen frequently where someone leaves the server and there is no chat message for it.

there is a server setting for something called gravetalk where you can't see someones chat who is dead while you're alive, maybe your friend died and saw something someone said and laughed, and since you were alive you didn't see it?

chat filters do not work afaik, if anyone knows how to fix them please post

I feel like this has happened to me also, players would be leaving the server but no disconnect messages in chat and not even console.

Happening to me too, also some random chat messages don't come through even when I haven't muted that person. All my friends say they can see it when we are playing together but I can't :/

filters work but they're weird

wattersonyour chat window should have a little filter button if the hud hasnt removed it

the chat window isn't something that can be edited by the hud very much, except for things like positioning and dimensions

This is pretty much my problem.
