Guild Wars 2

Sorry if this has been asked/answered, I tried searching and couldn’t find it…

I’ve been having this bug since I installed the game on launch day, dashes appear correctly in floating text boxes, but in mails and the chat box, they appear as “?”

Also enemy descriptions appear with strange E’s instead of what ever is suppose to be there (sorry did not get a screen shot of this one)

I’ve ran the -repair argument as well as completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but the error persists.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this same issue and it talked to the support team about it, deleting your local.dat file in your guild wars 2 documents fixed the problem for a moment before it came right back afterwords. Maybe you will have better luck then me with your attempt. If not your in the same boat as me and we just gotta wait for a fix someday.

This did not fix the problem, but it did lend specifics to the issue.

Apparently the incorrect hyphenation appears when the Interface Size option is set to “Large.” I was able to determine this when deleting the Local.dat file caused the interface option to reset to “Normal”

The problem was gone when it is set to any other option, including “Larger”

I don’t know if this helps to narrow down the issue, but until a fix is found, I suppose I’ll have to play at a different interface size, as the odd character replacement has become quite bothersome.

I posted about this 17 days ago. Small, Normal and Larger have no issues, its just when I set this to Large all the hyphens and dashes turn into a É for me.

Forgot to add, I tested this on three different PCs, all are running Windows 7 Home Edition. Maybe a font issue?
