Call me paranoid, but an ingame message claming to be of an official source with non-text symbols in it raises an eyebrow and got reported. Also unless i accept it, it seems i cannot delete it.

They are giving those to people as part of that salvage bug issue.

Your message seems to be in a few languages for some reason. English, German, French, and Spanish I think.

the multi-language wasn’t the issue, in fact it’s logical on a europeen server, the thing that made me wonder were the non-text symbols in it

well, better save than sorry, thanks for the reply

This is so embarrassing! First, yes, that’s a legitimate message. (In fact, I wrote it. ) What happened was that somehow when the “text strings” were localized and prepared for the in-game presentation, the special characters got messed up, and as you can see, the results were not pretty.

  • It is a legitimate message
  • You did get a replacement kit or kits
  • We’re going to try really hard to have less weird-looking messages in the future.
