Crash when increasing speed in a internet game as observer (only happens on dedicated servers)

[Andreas Breitschopp]

The game crashes when you increase the speed in a internet game as observer.

You can reproduce the bug this way:
- start a internet game with AI players only (no human player) => you are the observer.
- try to increase game speed.
=> This will result in a crash like the screenshot attached.

Based on your screenshot this is obviously an issue, but I am not able to reproduce it here. What I did:
1. Create a new multiplayer game (tried both LAN and Internet game).
2. Host it myself
3. Pick a random map, assign AIs to all positions and start a new game.
4. Press page up to increase speed.

I wonder, did this crash happen on your dedicated server (thanks for setting that up, btw :) )? If so, could you check whether it also happens when starting a normal game, like hosting a local LAN game? Maybe dedicated servers handle this differently for some reason.

Yes, indeed, I tested that with my didicated server and I cannot reproduce it in a local network game.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

Yes, I tried with your dedicated server right now and that did indeed crash. From what I can see, the use gets the error message:
"Client sent malformed commands: vector::_M_range_check"
Then only after closing this dialog and waiting a while (probably disconnecting the user) the game crashes. See attached backtrace.

And the strange thing is it only happens if all players are AI players.

Therefore that's also not the most important bug, but anyway, it is a bug. ;-)

Jepp that was a stupid little bug :-D ... fixed in rev. 6481

Great, that was a quick fix, thanks Peter!
