At one point many ut8-named servers got question marks in their names.
For example here are some top servers:
```
https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/46.174.52.13:27259/
https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/62.122.213.190:27015/
https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/37.230.210.62:27528/
```
Previously, these servers were fine with displaying names.
Сan gametracker do anything about this problem? Should server managers do something in their servers' configurations?

When I open the page for my server it shows the correct amount of players, but myself and anyone else with a character in their name that isn't an ascii character isn't shown. This behavior is limited to gametracker.

People who use non ascii are usually not displayed on the player list.

There would also appear to be a global server scanning or server page update issue.
This has been directly notified to development/admins.

I am informed that the fix for correct character display and server scanning inconsistencies may take longer than expected.

I can assure you that the developers are working on this as a matter of urgency. Please be patient.

We are fully aware of both issues and would, as always, appreciate it if you refrain from creating new reports/posts regarding either of these issues.

Thank you.
