Of those 30 WC games I started 5 or so of them, got through countdown without crashing, then bombed my own base and ended the game without crashing.


Almost every time I create a PCore game it crashes, and if I manage to create or connect to a PCore game, almost every time the countdown starts, it crashes.

The consistent client crash problem is definitely isolated to PCore

CSS has been down for quite a while, TestUS and Mach just went down.
Pretty sure the servers are crashing due to so many client crashes on PCore.
(the only server which didn't crash is Planet, which doesn't have PCore loaded on it)

and it may be CortUI Special Edition only that is part the problem and not the other CortUI, but I haven't determined that, yet.

nevermind. Still crashing. Mostly on PCore. I'm still running tests.

I just did 20 tests across 4 cores. Results are as follows.

^^ This 20 tests were without CortUI.

It's not CortUI.

Though there seems to be an autoupdate bug because autoupdate is replacing a CortUI file.

Frist, Yiggz is crashing while creating games, you crashsing while starting the game (mission countdown).

Crashing while starting during mission countdown is often caused by missing definitions within missionbrief.mdl.

If you were launching a game as draconium/OH, you crash, while launching a games as another faction as draconium/OH, you won't crash.

CortUI wasn't updated for a while and uses an outdated missionbrief.mdl...

From installer:
http://svn.alleg.net/svn/Installer_Client/...issionbrief.mdl

I launched the 20 games as 1-team games as BIOS, and with a fresh installation with no CortUI files.

Which means, while there may be CortUI/Drac/OH related problems, there's something else causing major problems.

Allegiance loads model and textures while connecting to server.

Missionbrief.mdl is loaded, when you or the one with GC, hits the start game button.
