Flax

I just started this game and would like to thank those who have made this possible. I used to play the crap out of this game on my Dreamcast. Anyway, I can't seem to do an open chat with my keyboard in-game. Yes, I do have keyboard checked for use. I use a xbox 360 controller and when I hit space bar on keyboard to open chat nothing happens. How do you type freely in this game?

I registered to play and keep getting this error message over and over even though I know my login info is correct. Help.
