Text filter broken and started filter everything

Function ChatService:FilterStringForBroadcast filters every string, it’s affected many of games right now.
Also sometimes it’s return ‘stack overflow’ exception, and my system pcalled it to warn.

This happened to me in FE2. Funnily enough, you can only say your name or someone else’s name in your game for it to not get filtered.

Funnily enough we found a way to bypass this by saying ‘Hola’
This was happening in every single game i’ve been in since around 35 minutes ago

For some reason if you say “hola” infront of your chat, it won’t tag?

“bonjour” also works as well and will make your messages not tag as long as it is in the beginning

How does a bug like this even happen, and so abruptly too? I left my computer for 20 minutes and I came back to this.
