Lobby - Wide Character

Hello,

We are actually using PlayFab Lobby for a Unreal Engine 4 project and we are storing the lobby name in the search lobby properties.

An issue happens when a user use wide character for the lobby name (like Russian for example). In this case, PlayFab is not able to create the lobby.

I have 2 questions:

1) Is there another way to store the lobby's name ?

2) If not, is there a way to allow wide characters in search properties lobby PS: we are using the playfab c++ SDK to create the lobby and not the REST service.


Thanks

If you want to search for a lobby using the lobby name, you have to store the name in the search lobby property. If not, you can store the name of the lobby in the lobby data. And if you are using the SDK: Releases PlayFab/PlayFabMultiplayer GitHub, since the type of our search property filed is char, you may try converting your wide character (type is wchar_t) to type char.
