[Apex Legends] Additional string characters in events

Issue Description
Occasionally, additional string characters (and newline characters) are provided in killfeed, knockdown, kill events.

Expected Event 1

{"name":"knockdown","data":{"victimName":"Gentleman Bastard"}

Actual Event 1

{"name":"knockdown","data":{"victimName":"`1 Gentleman Bastard\n"}

Expected Event 2

{"name":"kill","data":{"victimName":"jaythemxmx"}}

Actual Event 2

{"name":"kill","data":{"victimName":"`1 jaythemxmx"}}

Can you reproduce it (exact steps to reproduce)

  1. Launch Apex Legends
  2. Select ANY game mode
  3. Start a match
  4. Watch killfeed, kill, knockdown, etc. events. Occasionally (not always), the irrelevant and incorrect characters appear.

Do you currently have a workaround?
Yes, manually stripping out the characters:

`1

and

\n

characters from all player names.

Please mention the time of the event so we can find it easily in the logs

Hey,

I wanted to update you that we already have a bug regarding additional space in player names, but I think its origin is similar to what is being reported here.

I don’t have an ETA yet, but we will update when the fix is released.

Thanks
