Default Unable to access multiplayer, profile chat, video chat

MP just hangs at "Loading MP"

Profile chat says "Login incorrect!"

Video Chat says "wrong username/pass"

My account and IP are not banned.

It's your username. More specifically, the theta and sigma symbols.

I don't know if it's deliberate, but it is a known fact that people with symbols in their usernames can't access MP and Chat.

Your only options are to either live without MP and Chat, or create an alt.

It's without a doubt the weird-ass symbols in your name.

Edit: Sup foil where'd you come from?

They're referred to as Greek. Thanks, but I already knew this. Is this the correct place to report such a bug?

It would be, yes.

But it's not a bug.

I'm not being an asshole, but I definitely don't appreciate the condescending tone you bear in this thread.

I've already told you what you can do in my first post. No one can help you. The fact that you chose to put those symbols in your username is the sole source of your problem, and it cannot be rectified at this point.

For the sake of clarity, I will repeat myself.

You have two choices:

1. Live without chat and MP and keep your username.

2. Get a new username.

It seems ridiculous that you so quickly imagine condescension, a "tone" even, in few words designed with the sole interest of being addressed.

If this sort of moodiness is what I can expect to find here, I suppose I should take your advice and stay away from activity involving others.

You do not appear to speak with any sort of authority. As you have given me no real solution to my issue but merely sidestepped doing so with rude remarks, I will leave my inquiry to someone who does.

You may just be the definition of obstinate.

The irony here is that YOU are the sidestepping the issue.

I don't know how else to explain it to you, but you're not going to be able to receive 'help'. Do you understand this? I have told you several times now what the issue is, and that it cannot be fixed. You must make another account if you wish to participate in the user features.

I do not have to speak with authority to tell you what is happening. I have experience with this website, so allow me to speak from my experience if the authority you seek is absent.

Also, your original post never asked for help. Just wanted to let you know.

The multiplayer login function parses unicode incorrectly. Thank you, but you still have told me nothing that I was unaware of before my initial post. I said this once already, now please stop wasting my time.

It is a bug. It is not complicated to fix, one way or another. The versatility of usernames--spaces, non-alphanumeric characters, etc.--should be either extended to chat and MP features, or disallowed entirely.

Haha, thanks. It should be repairable on FFR's end, though. I understand that a fix probably is not worth the time, especially when people like foilman are subscribers and so far I am not.

Hahaha. I don't know who you are, but you need to get over yourself.

Just close the account, make a new one, and forget it ever happened.

Was the best post in this thread.

Deal without playing MP and such or make a new account just for MP and such. A workaround on FFR's end would be retarded and definitely not worth it.

Strange that you subscriber postwhores speak with the authority of moderators while really only seeking to boost your post count...apparently with little more to offer than redundancy and your personal form of ignorance.

foil, the fact that you continue to post on my thread in an effort solely to attack me and "win" an imagined argument stands as evidence of your own need to get over yourself. Please take your crap somewhere else.

Suggestion noted, kids. Stop repeating yourselves.

Its probably a good idea to make an alternate account, because with that not only can't you play multiplayer, but you can't have your own FFR profile either.

God, he told you straight up, "The reason is the Greek letters in your name is causing the problem." Which was blatantly the only anwser he should have given you. But with your big ego and words, you decided to drag on further. Create alt, problam solved.

Have a nice day.
sincerly,
Me

Those characters are not allowed in multiplayer because html code/ascii characters are disabled. They are disabled for users for many reasons. This will not be fixed. You will have to create an alt in order to access multiplayer. That is your only solution.
