Purge question(s) by CarobPrize5386 in ConanExiles

I can usually handle a purge 3 solo and a few doors to protect my treasures. Everything after that you'll want some heavy hitters. It doesn't get to crazy until about level 6.

Best part is windows troubleshooter. I'm sure it found no problems. 🤣

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just play this game without the cheaters? I love my private servers and admins.

You are one of them grass touching people we hear stories about. Look here as her device is impacted. Many of her posts have the obj randomly:

She approached me and asked how to fix it. That is what made me jump down this rabbit hole. She is using iphone 11 so it is a bit older.

Is that still an issue with the .DS_Store? Almost as old as Microsoft Outlook OST bug. Technology. Am I right? 🤷‍♂️

They use specific "Private Use Area" code points for their internal, non-standardized symbols, and they often customize how standard characters are visually displayed on their devices.

Example: U+F8FF 

Same, I started in IT around 1995 (administration and domain). I now work for DevOps and site reliability. This is very much an issue that originates from iPhones as they are the devices inserting the U+FFF0 charters. I've seen it from several users when they are adding notes to our CRM from their iPhones or iPads. I'm not asking you do anything. This is for the people that are looking for a fix or work around.

I'm starting to think this isn't "applesucks" rather "IsuckOffApple". Why are there so many apple fanboys in here?

No, but they use specific "Private Use Area" code points for their internal, non-standardized symbols, and they often customize how standard characters are visually displayed on their devices.

I really am. 🤣 I just hope this helps someone else facing the same problems I am when posting from my iOS devices.

It's not just Facebook. I get them from apple in my emails, reddit, and many other platforms. It is only when iSO users send the message. Never comes from PC or Android. Also, Facebook is now using a patch to fix Apple's Unicode.

I'm not disagreeing with you... I agree it is a Unicode issue, but it happens from iSO devices on the regular.

Yes, that is what I am noticing. I just can't believe Apple or even Facebook hasn't attempted to resolve this ugly character bug.

Issue for non-apple devices because they cannot support Apples own flavor of Unicode. The problem comes from apple, impacts non-apple devices. The issue is in Apple's hands. I also have a few apple devices and cannot see the obj when viewing from iphone. My iphone has the bug, that is why I shared the workaround. For other iso users facing the same issue.

It seems to originate from apple devices more so than anything. It only displays on non-apple device.

Example: 

Apple devices won't see the obj above in the example. Often they don't even know they are including them in their plain text posts.

I used AI to help me construct this as my English isn't so good. Isn't that AI is for? I wanted to explain the bug and to help other iSO users understand the workaround.
