So at this point I don't think I can address the issue because it works perfectly fine for me on Windows 7 with my system set to English.

For the next sentence CP is Code Page.

More then likely your using windows 10 and your language settings are probably telling windows to use either CP65001 or whatever code page the language setting uses like CP949 which is Korean.

ESO is using a single byte string for Chat and that simply is not possible for Korean which is 3 bytes. The other problem is that the Chinese team doesn't have to worry about any of that at all. They don't crash and they are not trying to intercept chat at all.

I got permission from Bevisbear to use his code hoping it would let EsoKR do what EsoZH does but it didn't work.

I'm not going to give up but at this point I just really don't see how to fix it.
