Simultaneous crashing in a BG (EDIT: SOUL TETHER IS CRASHING CLIENTS)

kadar

There is something causing multiple players inside of a single Battleground to crash simultaneously.

My friends and I queue for a BG with a pre-made 4 man group. We're all in voice comms together. Domination game type begins smoothly, each team has 4 players. In the first engagement myself and another member of my group crash in the same instant (we know because we're in discord together). The remaining 2 members of our group do not crash and continue fighting. They inform us that about half of the players in the BG have all crashed and are eventually kicked from the BG.

Upon logging back in, my friend and I are still in group with the other 2, but have been kicked from the BG and have the BG queue penalty applied.

BUG #2: If a player is in a load screen when a BG group is forming, the player will not be ported to the BG with the rest of the group.

This happened to a friend in our pre-made 4 man group. He was in a load screen changing zones, and was left behind when we were all ported to the BG. On his screen he was still in a group with us, but unable to join us for the BG. On our screen, he was no longer in our group and we found the round with only 3 players.

UPDATE:^ This same issue happened again in almost exactly the same way. This time game type is Domination: Fight begins normally. Myself and a group member both crash simultaneously, are kicked from the BG, and have the timer penalty. Now this is going to sound super tin-foil hat-ish, but is it possible this is related to a certain ability? In both situations, My game crashed mid-animation for my mNBs Soul Tether ability. BOTH times. Coincidence, possibly. Might be worth looking in to, though.

Hey everybody, it happened again this time in Deathmatch-- I'm not crazy.

I crashed my own client and at least 2 others by using the Soul Tether Ultimate in BGs. This has happened 3 times in a row, in the same scenarios, in the same instant-- right as the skill fires, just before the Tethers explode outward the game instantly crashes.

I've submitted an in game bug report on top of trying to get this thread noticed.
