Problem with the game ZIP file : "non UTF-8 encoded characters"

Hello,

I've tried to create my first game page and upload my first game (directly playable on browser - HTML5). But when I upload the ZIP file I get this message : "There was a problem loading your project - Archives contains filename with non UTF-8 Encoded characters - please try deleting the ZIP file and uploading another one".

For the moment, my page is still "draft". What can I do, please ? The game will not work ? Am I supposed to rename files ? But which files, how can I find the name(s) that doesn't fit ?

Many thanks to those who can help me :)

The error message is quite clear: "Archives contains filename with non UTF-8 Encoded characters". That probably means accented characters. Just stick to ASCII.

Thank you. I have found the problem. It was not accent, but a special character in game files.
