[Game][Critical] Text is either missing or shows up as boxes

  • Hello all, there's a problem I've repeatedly encountered while I play on PBE. Every game I seem to start in PBE, the text continually shows up as boxes (in the chat bar and scoreboard) or not at all (when I mouse over skills, the text just doesn't show up). This only occurred after the latest patch on PBE.

    It doesn't allow me to communicate with the rest of my team or even see what the other team is typing in /all chat. My teammates can see what I'm typing when I type in the chat bar, but it seems the bug is only affecting me in the game (I've told my teammates to repeatedly ping me if they could read what I was typing, and they did). The boxes also show up where the text is supposed to be in the shop and it doesn't allow me to read what im purchasing, and when I type into the search bar in the shop, no items show up either.

    Is anyone else getting this? I tried repairing the client already but it didn't fix anything. Any suggestions on how to fix this?


    P.S. how do i make the pictures bigger? they're kinda small when i click on them and i want to make it bigger so others can see the pictures clearer
  • Hey DistortedFart, let us know if you still get it after repairing/reinstalling. Are you playing in english or another language?
  • If you still get it after reinstalling, can you upload a r3d log from a game you played where you experienced the issue, and your dxdiag?

    Instructions on how to get those here.
