Weird game resuming problem/freeze with firestorm and blocks like Hard to Pin Down

    I was in a multiplayer league game. The game appeared to crash (neither timer ran, and typing into chat displayed nothing after pressing enter). I think this was after the opponent used a Firestorm.
    So I reloaded, then after rejoining the battle, I was prompted to move a character. After I moved the character, Hard To Pin Down (which was why the character had to move) displayed itself big in the middle of the screen, announced that it was triggering, then game was unresponsive after that point.
    Then I reloaded again, and I was prompted to move the other character, then Hard To Pin Down appeared big in the middle again, and the game was unresponsive once again.
    Then I reloaded again, and the rest of the match went by fine.

    Several times when I've used Firestorm in a league, my opponent got disconnected.

    Same, I've also been on the disconnecting end, both when an opponent used it vs. me and when I used it myself.

    I'm also seeing the Firestorm crash at my side too, my client crashes after using Firestorm and needs to be reloaded. Then I miss (don't see) my opponent's move.

    Should I keep bumping this topic every time I see the bug happen?

    As long as you have any new information or conditions to add to the topic. No need to bump for bumping's sake.

    I would love to see a battle log for any problem like this. That way I can check the server logs for errors associated with that battle.

    Or, any additional reports that might shed light on what's going on. Certainly Firestorm and Hard to Pin Down alone don't always cause a problem in my testing.

    I think it's because of the clicking.
    I disconnected many times during the free leagues when clicking fast through the Firestorm.

    Do you have your animation speed at max?

    I am disconnected occasionally by multi-target effects like Fireball or Firestorm, perhaps once every 20 matches or so. I have animation speed set at 1000.

    Sounds like a client crash. If someone is willing to install the Flash debug player, that might help us track it down.

    Here's an F1 log if it matters....

    So what exactly do I do with the debug player? All I can see is that I can get red boxes on redraw regions.

    If you have it installed, it should let you know if the client crashes at all.

    I'm getting no error messages from Flash Player at all.
    Also, chat doesn't work while in this frozen condition, I can still type into it, but nothing happens when I try to send messages.

    Have you configured the debugger to report error messages ?

    I've reported other error messages already. (aside: video sites are completely unusable with the debug flash player, they all throw tons of exceptions and often crash firefox)
