**Platform, device version and operating system:** PC, Steam client 4.4.0.09 Windows 7 (64-bit) **Screenshot or image:** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/c/ec4d4bc7be3f65c8d5fe78bada14356a045df017.jpeg) **Video:** [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MhzB1bWi20) **What were you expecting to happen, and what actually happened:** English Loading bar, without strange Alien Gibberish font that appears one or two times for a brief period. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Always. One or two updates before 4.4 and with the current update 4.4. **Steps to make it happen again** - Load the game, better record it and watch the clip at 0,25 speed. (or my screenshot and video) - Alien Gibberish (Unknown Font) somehow appears and creates conspiracy theories. ---

It has happened on Xbox for a while too, so it probably happens on all platforms and the devs see it daily and never mentioned it. But it’s not important. ---

When I first saw this I was hoping it was some kind of intentional Easter egg in futhark, Like the text at top of Dwarven Gate. Nah, it’s just a visual glitch 😆 ---

I’ve watched that video 10 times and still can’t see the problem. The screenshot looks like it was paused as the letters are coming in and looks normal for that. ---

Of course it was paused, because it’s too quick otherwise. You can’t see the problem? C’mon, it’s a bug. ---

It’s too quick to identify the symbols, but not too quick not to notice it, otherwise I would not have done a bug report about it. You can see the symbols on the screenshot. This is it. There is nothing more. ---

Yes, I’ve noticed this too on my Android phone, but it’s too quick to be able to do a screen-capture of it. It’s been happening for a while now, but it’s no big deal as it doesn’t affect anything. ---

There’s no way to know for sure. This issue is probably widespreaded to all platforms. I would not ignore it, still, even if it’s just a visual issue with no real impact on the gameplay.
