Hey, wanted to share this neat fix for the lagging chat when you have the game running for long session ( This was not found out by me originally, I saw this originally on GFL discord, forgot the persons name xd ).
Solution: Go to Counter-Strike Source/hl2/resource/ui and open a file called basechat.res with text editor. Then go down to section called "HudChatHistory" and then down the line called "maxchars". By default it should be at -1, change it to something like 10000 ( If I'm correct -1 means the chat never cleans up older messages, while at positive number it starts cleaning up older messages after certain number of characters ).
Tech boys are free to criticize/fix this as I'm not very good with coding stuff x)
Edit: Credit goes to Snoopy for the fix
