Hello 🙂

Thank you for the screencapture.

I’ve let the development team know about this issue and included your picture in the report.

In the meantime, please ensure that you have all assets downloaded, which can be found in the Settings Menu.

This is not the first time the brown emojis have appeared in the GoW chat rooms, a very old bug has made its return. Last episode was a couple years ago or thereabouts.

Good news for me, I almost always just use the poop emoji so….no real difference.

A guildie of mine reports that they still have blocks instead of emoji. Game up to date, all assets downloaded. What else can they do to get this fix?

Edit: re-installing also didn’t help, still brown squares instead of emoji.

Yup - I have altered the header as it is not fixed.  
“Fix will be rolled out in the next 24 hours” was 4 days ago.

Hi everyone,

We’ve attempted server fixes for this but as you’ve seen they haven’t worked ☹

This means we’ll need to do a client fix for it in the next game update v8.3.

Sorry for the lack of emojis in the meantime

Thanks for letting us know Kafka.🦁

And I see that your anniversary cake is on display now. Does this mean that everyone gets free treats to celebrate the 10 year anniversary?
