Unfortunately crashes are a way of life in the Windows world. Every once and a while programs - including Allegiance - will crap out on you.

Players have noticed that Allegiance's "random crashes" seem to be more apparent when Technoflux is used in the game, but nobody's been able to figure out how to reproduce the crashes on their own.

When you logged back in, were you able to play normally?
Does this crash happen consistently?

If it was a 'random crash' and doesn't seem to recur then all is good. If you can reproduce it consistently let us know what you did so we can fix the problem for the next release.

The Allegiance community currently hates their sysadmin because he is doing: [Too Much] [____________|] [Too Little]

well, after that incident I went back ingame took off the map for caps lock key to use just tab key and was joined up into my pod and all, then was moving towards base...then comp restarted...I believe the teams were IC and Technoflux, was on IC...unfortunately was not quite the consistant crash I wanted rather than just booted out of allegiance like last time lol, haven't played again yet, almost afraid to...especially if it's consistancy is steadily getting higher level of crashes (can't think of what comes after comp reboot...)

If you are having consistent crashes with TF, just avoid playing when it's in use.
