[Dev's Ask Fans] What do you want in Beta 3?
snk_kid:
I don't know if this is a known issue yet and whether or not this source engine specific or GE:S specific problem but certain individuals have some kind of spam-bot and keep repeatedly spamming a paragraph of what looks like an East-Asian language.
It is clearly spam because it comes and goes so quickly no one could read it without bringing up the dev console. Furthermore I know that one particular individual his/her native language is definitely not any East Asian language and I highly doubt that this person has suddenly learnt an East Asian written language all of a sudden.
Apart from being very annoying what is worse is for some reason it makes the game for others severely lag or freeze for a couple seconds, I spoken to others who have been around while it is happening and they say they are getting the same thing as me.
You can tell this is intentional and It is very frustrating so please try to investigate this.
Note, I do have East Asian language support installed for Windows XP but I do not wish to un-install it just to prevent the game freezing up often because some b***** is intentionally spamming. Is there a way to disable other languages being displayed in source games?

I believe this happens when people have to many "Character Map" letters in there name, or just certain ones.
Cause did have this problem early yesterday, but when he changed his name, problem was gone. So if it happens again, check the names in the server and ask them to change there name..... if not, get a admin and have the admin do it for them! cause it does lag the server.

I don't think this is the case, one individual is doing it without changing their GE:S MP name. Even when I kindly ask to stop doing it they don't and sometimes they increase the amount of spamming.
This is not like a few words, I'm talking about a paragraph of text.
Rodney 1.666:
I always wondered about that myself...
Was never a problem for me, though. It wasn't too terribly frequent. The game would pause for a half a second and "a paragraph of what looks like an East-Asian language" would appears and then go away in two seconds. (Or something close to that.)
Never stayed longer than that.
major:
f there name has the charcter maps in it then every time they kill/die it will most the time freak out the server. And if they type it will do the same. Untill they remove the special letters it will freak out, next time try to get them to change there name. Atleast that was the same issue yesterday.
remember VC explained this before, some todo with the source engine, maybe a programmer can explain more.
