Topic: Erroneus(?) fatal error popup (game works fine after "crash")

I've pseudo-crashed now twice in a ~4 hour window during mining. Never crashed before in my 3 day long career, and I don't know any way to reproduce the incident, since it has happened both times during semi-AFK mining (not a consequence to any direct action).

Game works 100% fine, mobs shoot me (seen in 2nd pic), chat works, no lag and entering terminal is no problem (3rd pic).
Game closes after pressing OK to crash report confirmation.

This may be the game error-catching system working as intended (some stealthy useful subsystem crashed), but decided to put it out anyways if it's not. A quick not-fixing-the-actual-problem fix would be to make the crash window movable. big_smile

Images (in a chronological order) regarding the case:

(Sorry for not filling the crash report, timer caught me off-guard (was surfing) sad, filled it the first time it happened though. )

Edit: Happened yet again (12:07 server time), this time in terminal, with the game window out-of-focus at the time.

Re: Erroneus(?) fatal error popup (game works fine after "crash")

I've had such bugs earlier. Funy thing - whe'you're pseudo-crashed, you don't see about a half of other players/mobs.

Have a productive day, runner!
R.I.P. Chenoa, you'll never be forgotten.

Re: Erroneus(?) fatal error popup (game works fine after "crash")

Oh okay, got to check that out next time it happens. If that indeed is the case the crash recovery system is working as intended I suppose (apart from that game actually still runs background, and not frozen by the crash recovery to prevent any deaths from invisible mobs or players (in beta)).
