You get killed after entering a dedicated server the game crashes.

Anyone found a fix for this yet?

Is the mission running a bot? If so, did the bot kill you?

Yes, there is a bot. However it crashes ifyou kill yourself, or the bot kills you.

I havent been able to implement the full fix for this problem. Im not sure I understand how exactly I need to animate the bounding box. If anyone can explain this, that would be awesome ; ) I understand what the death animations do with the ground clamping and all, and why they need those nodes, but the animation still crashes with them defined.

In the meantime there is an ugly hack which you can use. Simply call your death animation anything other than death1, 2, 3, ect... Also do be careful about making sure you arent cycliing through 11 sequences if you dont have them defined. This might be what is causing the crash in Kevins book as well, because i think the death animation works _sometimes_, but it definatley crashes.
