I'm consistently able to "trap" the client in a state where the in-game interface is inaccessible and the match engine has crashed, thus forcing the player to reload the game client. The console is still accessible, so it's not full client crash. The problem is that the match engine doesn't properly handle a custom scenario with VP scoring set to "automatic" for a player whose party contains only 0-point characters (like Reinforced Door or Human Servant Dog Boy). I have attached such a misconfigured scenario to this post. When the match attempts to load, the console spits out the following error: Code: Data loaded. Verifying data.

This is definitely a bug with having no victory points for any of the sides of a battle. The scoring display isn't meant to handle that. It seems like the right way to handle this is probably to detect that condition when the scenario is uploaded and force it to have at least 1 VP for each side.
Should be fixed up when we get the next build up on the test server. It'll default to 9 VP in that case now.
