I have a UDP server running in an external project sending messages. In my AppGameKit project the BroadcastListener is receiving the messages but the first 4 characters are lost. What is the expected structure of a broadcast message and can it be used in a more general fashion without causing issues for other parts of the AppGameKit system?

In theory, yes. The format of a string is a 4 byte length and then X bytes of string data without a null terminator, where X is the length. Integers and floats are standard 4 byte formatting.
