No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

Yeah. At first I thought I knew the cause but now I'm not so certain. It's the next bug on my list though.

Taylor's.

It's actually quite a useful line to have. More often than not I can tell who built that particular executable just from that one line alone. If for instance I see a line pointing at D:\C++\Freespace\ it's a reasonable bet that it's from someone using ShivanSPS's pack v1.5 rather than Turey's installer because that's the only highly distributed package with one of my exes in it.

The file it refers to is the specific file with the piece of code that crashed. I can open up my C++ program and find exactly where in the code that crash happened thanks to that line. Unfortunately it doesn't help as much figuring out exactly why. :D

Sorry, don't know a lot of about computer language is C++.

Anyways, since it happened more than one time, why don't we do what microsoft does.

You know how they always have those forms you have to fill out:

What were you doing when it happened?
Did it happen more than once....

So if we see a pattern to develop, then it is easier to locate the bug.

Re: Crash during a multi game, had me going WTF!?!?!
I know what's happening. The homing missiles someone fired are homing in on something they shouldn't be (another weapon or something). The problem is figuring out why they're doing that. Which means that this is basically one that simply requires trawling through the code until I figure out why.
