Hey Mundy, glad to see you got some time to set this up.

A couple notes:

1. In order for chimpfrog to be the user actually creating the crash chimpfrog needs to do it on a join. Sitting in a game doing nothing or playing normally will not invoke the most common crash type we are seeing. chimpfrog will need to look for large games that are almost full (games with lots of lag are better). If the frog joins the game successfully the first time have the script leave the game, wait 10-30 seconds and re-join. Keep repeating this and you will cause the crash eventually.
2. OK so with the above changes you are basically fine tuning chimpfrog to invoke the bug at will. The problem is, if everyone adds chimpfrog they are basically making every large game they play in is a target for a crash. For hosts this is even worse as they experience hardware lockup nearly 95% of the time where regular players see it less than 50%.

I would propose that if we are to use something like chimpfrog the the script needs to limit itself to joining a game with a certain password (or set of passwords). the community can co-ordinate times to get a bunch of people into the games. I know it can make things more difficult but it might be better than willfully crashing random open games.

So if we add him, of course it'll help them get it fixed, but it'll still make us get frozen by Chimpy doing it on purpose :O

yeah it bothered me that manitcor posted that too.

I really don't want them to half ass this testing, they need to find all causes and address them. The game is full crash glitch probably only effects me like 20% of the time.

And it's a relatively easy one to avoid if you just hold more private games and never have them full.

The crash that happen for other reasons are much more annoying.
