Oh, I didn't change anything about that one yet (have no good solution for it yet)

But how about the other annoying error that happened when a game was about to start? I tried to fix that one, didn't hear anything about it yet. Does it still happen?

[Clausewitz]

ah, for me i see them both as the same, but ya right same effect but 2 reasons. so i haven't had that start-crash for about some days now. the other dc-lobbycrash still
