Map causes clients to crash when they quit game

[Halithor]

New issues as of v2.0: Whenever a player quits my map, their client crashes. While restarting the client isn't the end of the world, it prevents my players from being able to save replays. I've experienced this issue with other maps that I've played since the patch, but I've got no idea what might be causing it. Has anyone done anything to debug this issue?

 

[draktok]

can confirm this happens on several maps for me, as well.

Someone had even posted similar issue here:

Game crashes on game end or map restart

Ever since 2.0 hit my game crashes every time I restart a map I am already playing, and every time the game ends. For example, playing against AI, the instant I kill the last enemy building my client crashes. It also crashes the instant I press F10 > E > R to restart a map. Playing on PC...

I don't even test out 2.0.0. just yet because of known issues happening with that patch. I'm still using pre-Reforged WC3.
The same problem also happened if you used the F10-E-Q trick. Same when restarting the map (F10-E-R).

That is a bummer. Reducing the player count to 11 is a very hard constraint, which cannot be worked around for Monster Defense :/

Pro tip: You can just hold Alt+QQ to quit. Doesn't even need F10

I'm not at home right now to test it out, but I remember someone saying about the Computer Players.

If your map have Computer Players, try to give them "victory/defeat" triggers, as well for players. This is just a guess, since I don't remember well the conversation that day. Mostly maps with computer players got this problem, mine as well... I just didn't give time to fix it.

I tried.
I did a Pick Every Player controlled by Computer, Victory Trigger. Then Wait 2 Seconds and Victory Trigger for Player. It still crashed.

Damn that sucks. Playing custom games in general, the games with 12+ players seem to always crash out, which collaborates the post linked by @Ravager16829 . Makes me sad.

Does the crash still happen if score screens are skipped?

Yes. Also hide post-game score screen for player doesnt work.

I asked at Hives DIscord, and they tell me it is the new score-screen bug. If you have more than 12 players (or 11 players, don't remind well), it crashes. So, less total players should work well.

I didn't try it yet, but I'd give it a shot.

Looks like we may have the solution: 2.0.1 Build 22425 PTR Patch Notes

Yes. The changelog says that they fixed it, but it is on PTR still. Soon or later it'll come.

About the total players, I've tested here and it worked pretty well, so it's up to you now: Reduce total number of players or ait for the update.
