Hi,
I am running in the same issue here, except I am in a C++ project. To verify that I was not crazy, I event tried to create another standalon cmd line app that would just use winsocks to connect to the IRC chat and it worked, only using standard ansii strings. In our project we use some internal string class that are using ansii strings, but we always ge the “tmi.twitch.tv NOTICE * :Improperly formatted auth”. When I look at our strings in debug, I do not see the DOM anywhere (or maybe am I not looking the right way). This is kinda driving me nut…
Thx for the help.
