As of just a coupledays ago my teammates's snapshots show up in chinese jibberish, while mine show up in phoenician jibberish. Does anybody know why? Note- none of my teammates are in china nor are they to my knowledge chinese

Here are some examples:
snap :: 4~?1枹极䁬◿聿糯棯聅ⳣൕ緙⭕嚿聿聿緪ᗫ㷄♿聿聿聿聿
snap :: 4~?2㭫ᛉὤ傦㌌㣟ݬ敷扂㫕⮈㉟䜌斸঴☶ᵹ䣳ੵ儶㻦☮淐澺昕摌姅奯ᰆ૬䎤


while mine:
snap :: 4~BhBhBgBgBcDdGhDe???BeDiBiDhDaBh??DdDhDaBiCd?BfBfBiDaDbDhBiBi??DeCiDeDiDcDgDbDd??Da?CiDhCfBiDgDd???DcDfDgBfDaChBhBgBgDfEb??BgBeDgDbChDgBiBiBeBgDaBc

Ate the snapshots working for you?
I believe that a recent update to BOB changed the way snapshots store information (by using these other characters) in order to store more information.
What version of BOB are you using currently?

Yep, that's the good explanation. As your post shows, the new snapshots are a lot smaller. Which is why it should work for every map now (except extreme circumstances, like BR's on large maps and very high amounts of troops on huge maps).
