PRIORITY: MODEL Bug Crash Servers within 20 seconds - Major problem at hand!

[Oink Oink ?]

So, some smartass has found a way to crash all servers he would like to crash, and it seems to be a fault within the character models - we just don't know the exact way he does it.

BG Servers - both of them, + Initium Novum, all got crashed by the same error message "Default Model: Failed to load" or some shit, within the span of five minutes. He systematically went from one populated server, onto another, and kept going until people just stopped playing. He did this also on American servers, as they went from a 20 something to 3 after my crashing experiences.

So it seems you guys got a major problem at your hands affecting all of us. Here's to hoping it'll get fixed asap!

Also, I might add, it seems to be a bug that affect people AFTER a new round starts, within the first 10-20 seconds of gameplay.

Right now, at 16:30 local time for most Europeans playing atm, the serverlist is on an all-time low with the most populated servers being that of a server with 8 people on it. Previously it had two BG servers with 20+ people, and Initium Novum server with 18.

We have identified the root cause of this and are accelerating the patch through our QA process. As soon as the patch is validated we will release it. This will be a server side only patch. In the mean time server administrators can bad malicious players that are causing this crash to provide some relief.
