Full crash, happened when placing fleet

[MikeTheWookiee]

First one - as Europe, decide to create fleet first. Click fleet tab, then 'sub' a few times. Nothing happens. Well, the button changes colour when I click it, but the units don't get put into the placement bar and the number 12 doesn't go down. Think to myself - meh, see if it clears up. Start placing radars (2 if I remember rightly). Game goes very jerky, before the 'defcon has encountered a problem...' comes up. When it does, I don't know whether this is by accident or design, all the interface disappears and I'm left with just the map (with the error reporting box).

That one was on Bert's dedcon at about 8:50 this evening by GMT, if he'd like to look at his logs to see if anything weird happened at his end.

Second one was on xander's dedicated one. Similar sort of thing, this time I'm playing as North America. Don't remember whether I tried placing fleets straight away, although even if I did I had done a good 30s or so worth of chatting before trying anything. Anyway, this time I placed all the radars, airbases, silos. I do believe I tried placing a fleet in there somewhere, but it wouldn't recognise the button clicks (or rather recognised the clicks, but they had no obvious useful effects). After placing all the ground-based stuff, clicked on the 'fleet' button in the unit bar and it goes wrong again. Encountered a problem etc.

Now, the only thing really worth mentioning at my end is that I've been suffering from some pretty bad lag / general internet crapness of late; well ever since I moved into this flat actually. [Bert's servers were auto-kicking me because of it when we tried to reconvene after crash 1]. So if lag / lost packets would be a reasonable explanation for all this then I suppose I'm just going to have to grin and bear it / shout at BT.

I can stick up the debug.txt if you want, but there doesn't appear to be a blackbox.txt. The only one in the directory was from the 25th of June.

I experienced the same kind of problems in roughly the same circumstances; when I was having a phase of annoying connection problems, internet related troubles. They cleared up when I sorted my connection.
