Summary
In my game 2427-3625-8896, NPC nameplates are now showing incorrectly. They only use single special characters like “
”, “
” etc. They used to show correctly when I played the game last time in May 2026, but that I play on 42.00, all those nameplates are just white silhouettes on black non-transparent background.

Additional Notes
I haven’t tried on Fortnite versions between 42.00 and whatever was live in May, so I’m not sure when exactly it changed.
