Unresolvable Characters
After Launching the game, It says the following:
"Text Contains characters that cannot be resolved by this SpriteFont.
Parament name: text"
Is this bug never happened to someone before or not? _________________ If you are a MetalHead (Heavy Metal Fan) and don't want to be a metalhead, Just remove your metal ball from your head. �:p .

Nothing changed after fixing the issues, Maybe the mod works only on specific operating system? if yes,
Spoiler (click here to read it):
i am using windows 7 pro E with 32-bit, The manufacturer of my GPU is intel.
If no, then why this happen? _________________ If you are a MetalHead (Heavy Metal Fan) and don't want to be a metalhead, Just remove your metal ball from your head. �:p .

looks to me like you try to write some strange characters while the sprite font that the client is using doesn't support/has them.
Something like the font having only A-Z but you trying to write Ö Ä Ü and other crazy characters.
@Rampa: i would put that whole thing in a try catch routine (if an equivalent exists in your current API) and simply skip those crazy chars. The user will soon notice that some chars simply don't work and use normal ASCII chars. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

The client works on any Windows operating system starting from XP and going up to Windows 10, on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. I'm suspecting that it might have something do with system language; so far only one player in addition to you has reported the issue and I suspect that both of you use non-Western system languages. Then again, we have hundreds of Chinese etc. Asian players who haven't reported any crashes.
Could you upload another logfile, from the newer build this time?

The crash is happening on client startup. With the first crash it happened when adding a pre-defined message to a listbox, so the characters surely exist in the sprite font. So right now I don't really know what's going on.

On all text input fields I already check that the input characters exist in the sprite font and if they don't, I just ignore them. On CnCNet chat messages I replace non-existing characters with question marks.
Ok, but i am still busy, Maybe before the weekend.

And checking if the client works then or does it give the same error.
Doesn't work again but with a new crash message (this one is different).

Before the 23th of september this year, It worked, But after the 23/09 release, This never happened to me.
I recently launched DTA.exe after replacing the clientxna.exe, And it work, but crashes after the DTA icon disappears.
1. What is SpriteFont? - Is it linked with truetype fonts used for all windows system?
2. Do most people had this new update never crashed?
3. I heard that mental omega will use the same new client, If this new client on (DTA & MO3.3) crashes repeatedly, I may no longer be able to launch DTA & the upcoming mental omega. _________________ If you are a MetalHead (Heavy Metal Fan) and don't want to be a metalhead, Just remove your metal ball from your head. �:p .

DTA 1.15 basically uses an entirely new client, so there's no point in comparing it to the client in older versions of DTA.
Have you tried running version 1.1560 (without replacing anything)? Version 1.1560 was released this Friday, so you won't have it yet unless you manually downloaded it from Mod DB. _________________ QUICK_EDIT

A spritefont is a font made of sprites. Basically each character exists as a sprite of its own, and those sprites are used when drawing text with the spritefont.

Only 1 player in addition to you has reported this issue. Following our update servers we can also see that our player count increased sharply after 1.15's release, which'd point to that few people have the problem.

Exactly. Which is why you should test version 1.1560 and help me fix it.

EDIT: That other player now says that for him, version 1.1560 fixed the problem.
Now i focused on the last sentence you said, I tried to download it but the mirror session was expired, I will try another mirror from the new update released 20 hours ago in my timezone.
If the problem is now fixed, That bug should be fixed on the mods that are using the same new client, I was a fan of DTA & Mental Omega since 2012. _________________ If you are a MetalHead (Heavy Metal Fan) and don't want to be a metalhead, Just remove your metal ball from your head. �:p .

OK! It work with me, Tell me what was the reason exactly for being crashed before you fix it? _________________ If you are a MetalHead (Heavy Metal Fan) and don't want to be a metalhead, Just remove your metal ball from your head. �:p .
