Crash: Allocation Points
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 6:04 pm
I have to give it to our testers, they are certainly finding all the bugs. Too bad all these crashes are at the height of the day when there are so many people online.
Stack:
Fixed by checking if 'character' is null
The pattern I'm seeing (besides people forgetting to do any pointer safety checks) is null character objects, again. They probably always existed, but are showing up more often now because so many people are online on the weekends testing things out.
