Playing HL2DM I find that some players, who otherwise chat in normal latin characters, sometimes write a lot of chinese (or korean?) characters in the chat, which turn up and vanish so fast they are hard to read. These chinese chatmessages do not display in the console either. The whole thing bothers me, because when the chinese chat displays I get a minor lagspike.
I have attached a screenshot from one of those chinese chatmessages.

Question:
1) What is this?
2) How can I stop the game from displaying them/cut the lag?

Thank you for providing the servers, TSGK, I often enjoy playing on them and have a lot of fun.

This is a bug coming out when a player having UTF-8 characters on his name is sending an ingame message.

Thank You for the reply, Osiris_TSGK. The same player also was able to make chatmessages without this bug, so what exactly is it triggered by. And is there a way to mute/ignore such players in hl2dm?
