Tanks server still down 3 hours later

The server crashed at 17:35 western Europe time at the end of GardenOfDeath and after we voted for AfterDark2. It has still not restarted when I am writing this.

And a small bug not important: at the end of a map the music loop stop after 1 minute or so. Before it was an endless loop. Same on ...

Or maybe you haven't yet played games with HRTF, and it feels unusual? In this case, you can always set use of HRTF to "False" ("Auto" is usually "Enabled")

Then I go to the normal server and after playing a bit I go back to the test server and bam! Crash. Again and again. The game was started by someone but there was no monsters in the main ...

No problem with D3D9 and Xbrowser.
But always crash with Xbrowser + D3D11 or Xbrowser + ICBIND DX11.
And remember its only with this map. No problem with other maps.
More tests to come.

I will do more tests with maps I know well.
