i was in a game with some guy called [fef]hahja~ÁdÀÚ~ and every time he made a kill or got killed here's what happened:

[IMAGE]

it pretty much made a lot of the game unplayable, since i couldn't see what was going on a lot of times.

it must just be your video card problem..try updating your driver and see does it work..

it does the samething with me but with yellow text and i can still see what im doing

i have the newest drivers, and also upgraded to dx 9 and still get it.

hmm haven't seen that bug since a few versions ago...

And I remember back to 1.0.5b / 1.1.0 (ish) days when I used to get this and bob's problems.

The screen gets covered in font displays, generally pretty distorted.

I'm not sure exactly what it is or what causes it however...

well, if you look at the screen shot in top right, the ÁdÀÚ~ of [fef]hahja~ÁdÀÚ~ doesn't show up. and i only get the problem when characters like that (ÁdÀÚ) are in someone's name.

As far as I can see, it's font-related problem. The font used by the program may have problems handling accentuated characters.

If it only happens with That name Then Its the Font [:-censored] as Morpheus said.. BUT i tried playing Vs. a bot by that name and that worked.. Xept I didnt get the Wierd A and [:-censored] :D If It happens 2 all U play Vs.. Try replacing The Font file..

Yup, that would be the cause.

Tested it out with the name 'NightCabbage ¿âû' in an empty lan game.

Killed myself with nade and it came up with

NightCabbage (nade) [note extra spaces for chars it can't display]
and with a whole heap of crap in the top left corner...

And so, it would appear that Soldat cannot display characters above, say, 128 (out of 256 - in standard 8-bit characters)

Definately needs fix.
