It’s happening in PvE as well. I read through the crash log and this is what I found:
Crash log shows that the game is having problems loading textures. In addition to this, it can’t find animations for certain skills, resulting in these strange crashes. Unfortunately, the log doesn’t show time stamps so I can’t tell if all the missing textures and animations are happening at once or building up over time and then causing a crash.
I’m guessing that people are crashing more in competitive game modes due to the skill animation not being found, and since so many skills are being used consistently, it’s probably freaking the game out.
Cheers for the digging, SpicySalsaDance. It's certainly been...well, not boring, at the office this evening.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you folks know two things: first, we definitely hear y'all, and have been cranking away to get this crash hammered out. (In the end, it was kind of a convergence of unfortunate events. Ain't that always the way.) We'll be sorting through the details tomorrow, but for now, I just wanted to post to say that we very much do pay attention when players run into fires like this.
Oh, and the second thing: the fix just went out, so you should be all clear. Holla if you see anything else, but otherwise, go nuts. ; )
