Here's what I got from the dev guys:
Why are they talking about saving files in utf8. There are no files needed
for
the client.
We tested all the languages and this hould work. Questions are:
-What OS are they using.
- How are they entering the chars.
- Did they set the USE_RACE to 1
- What Browser are they using
Everyone should be responding with this information if they're having RACE
problems :)
