Text Crash

Postby Gaiadin » Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:31 am

I was typing a message in party chat. It was, of course, a retarded spam message to my roommate. Something along the lines of "ooooOOOooOOoooOOOOOOooooOOOooOOoOOOoooooooooooooooooOOOOOOoOooooooOOOOoooooOOoooOOOooOOO" which was to be followed shortly after by "...is what your mom said when I did her last night."

Unfortunately the game crashed as soon as I pressed enter. I'm guessing it has something to do with a really long undivided string. If it helps it's happened on both Pacho's client and the normal game client.

It appears to crash the client of anyone who sends or would receive the message through any chat pane in the game.

You realize that this is the sort of highly abuseable bug that should eb PMed?

I didn't until after I discovered that it crashed recipients as well. I imagine that publicly known abusable bugs get fixed faster anyway. So here's hoping.

Already PM'd Loftar about this weeks ago. I'm pretty sure this bug was also reported before the map was reset.

Oh sure fix the metal nugget bug almost instantly but leave this one around for MONTHS. :/
You see a masterful engraving by Blaze. On it is Blaze, bears, boars, and foxes. Blaze is striking down the bears. The boars are screaming. The foxes are in a fetal position. The image relates to the return of Blaze in the late winter of 2009.
