When you report a bug relating to a specific game it is necessary to include a link to that game's hub entry. If the game is live or can't be played at that time, a downloadable version or source is needed.

Since the output control did not undergo any changes in 468, it does not seem like that version would have introduced the crash; however I understand it's probably impossible for you to test with older versions at this point, since that would require rolling back the server as well. Please provide the missing information about the game and I'll see if I can reproduce this.

Other information that would help is whether this happens only on large blocks of text, or if it happens even with small amounts of text. Are icons present? What kind of formatting is in use? That info will help narrow things down.
apparently now the issue has vanished since the server updated to the latest build, so it must of been something related to 1 of the fixes you made.

if the problem reappears i will provide more information regarding it buh for now thank yo for youre time u can close this now if you like.
