Characters on menus replaces with special characters

Bill0gi · Oct 21, 2016

Some of the menu options are appearing in special characters instead of normal characters. Like it's got the wrong encoding or something.

It's been like this for quite a few months now and persistent over a number of preview updates.

I am on the preview program and on instant on, so likely on the lastest version.

See attached pic.

More Special Characters

As I expected, Activision and IW are going to milk the special characters DLC as much as they can. So there are four new DLC packs. You can check them out via this link : New Call of Duty 4 trailer | GamesRadar+

Chatpad Special characters

If anyone has an issue with this:

The chatpad serial number ends with the letter B, E, F, G, or S to indicate which language it supports: British-English, US-English, French, German, or Spanish.

What you have to do, is to change the Keyboard Language in settings>system>language&Location>Keyboard Language

Ex: If it has an "E" in the end, it needs to be US-English, If it has an "S" in the end it indicates you need to have the keyboard language set to Spanish (and so on)

Hi

This is normal during preview testing it is something called pseudolocalisation this is to allow companies to test characters required for other language. This text will be corrected as the preview update nears general release.

Try changing password, shorter than 10 characters with no special character and see if that works.

Since june the GTs can have special characters and support non-arabic characters and numerals.

It usually only happens because the game is creating an autosave.

Copy that. I get a second or two of lag all the time when accessing menu. Bummer since this game has me managing my inventory via the menu constantly.

Its my one gripe...

For as amazing as this game is the menu/inventory system is a complete fail.

they yanked the hot keys??? wtf?

that goofy favorite menu??? wif?

you cant veiw a model of your character in the menu as you outfit them with gear? wtf?

The weapons and armor are not cataloged beyond just weapons and armor? like swords/axes helmets/boots... within their respective catagory. WTF???

Back to your point, the menu lags so hard sometimes I have to back out and try again. WTF???

I think they literally ran out of memory/space to make the menu more robust. However, this is forgivable.
