KBW Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Hello, It has been discovered that apostrophe's (') being present in your player name will cause any offers you make to the Altis Exchange not to go through, and your product or funds will be lost. Other non-ascii characters could also possibly cause this, such as quotation marks (") or backticks (`). In any case you should never be using quotation marks in your name, as it will also break other features within the mission. This is because the exchange attempts to include your player name with offer information, however once it reaches a speech mark of any sort it assumes that the string has ended, resulting in an error in syntax halting the query. In the mean time while a solution is investigated, remove any instances of an apostrophe/quotation mark/backtick from your player name. It is also possible that there are other bad characters which could cause database queries to fail which I have not listed.

Pentax Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I mean custom gang tags are there, where you can create them when you create a gang, it's time to ditch the annoying gang tags from arma profiles. Link to comment

Not that Master needs a reason, but I'd like to know what his is. If it causes problems, as it has for a long time now not just the exchange system, it makes no sense to keep allowing them as they have no purpose other than 'looking cool' and even that is a weak argument.

Reformed epTic Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I personally love when people have their entire name in random characters that bug out the wanted list, and then cry when you can't pardon them after lethaling. Furnie Mack and Olivia like this Link to comment
