TF2 In-Game Unicode problem


↑Combine ✰

Recommended Posts

Fixed by using this solution for Windows

 

 

Regarding current situation, please first check this option:

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts\Font settings

Please un-check “Hide fonts based on language settings†to see what’s going on.

Also, check the setting here: Region -> Administrative -> local.

If the issue still persists, I suppose that it can be caused by 3<sup>rd</sup> part programs or virus.

Please test the issue in Clean boot mode and safe mode and let me the results:

If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic half services.

If the issue persists in clean boot, please check in safe mode:

Maybe if you just had a normal looking name, you wouldn't have that problem.

Other people's names with unicodes are squares, too.
