Grenade Launcher Still Crashes Multiplayer

I’m sorry, but I had words tonight with a guy that wouldn’t stop using the Grenade Launcher, he didn’t believe me when I said it crashes the server most often out of any other type of weapon, whether it’s the sound or whatever, I’ve not only STALK THE PLANET crash time after time, but other servers I’ve played on. GSC I believe claims to have fixed this in a patch, but truly it keeps crashing. Again, and again and again. The patch notes for v1.0006 claim its a problem with “launching” grenades, “throwing” grenades, etc., but I’m almost certain it has more to do with the explosions. Most severely (and without fail) such crashes occur when many explosions happen in a short amount of time, and what weapon causes that the most? The Grenade Launcher.

Here’s the official patch notes:

Multiplayer game changes:

• Fixed crashes connected with memory allocation.
• Fixed crashes upon disconnecting of the client, who didn’t have the map used on the server (when using a game MOD).
• Added uptime parameter to the dedicated server info, indicating the time of uninterrupted server functioning in days, minutes and seconds.
• Fixed crash connected with the shooting from the grenade launcher.
• Fixed crash connected with dropped/eaten item.
• Fixed crash connected with starting new game (for example, upon map changing).
• Fixed crash connected with joining to the server upon map changing (the client respawned on the old map, while the other players already switched to the new).
• Fixed bug with killing the players when too many players appeared on the base when the round started.
• Fixed bug with killing the player when throwing a grenade.
• Fixed bug with player’s invisibility when putting armor on.
• Fixed bug with entering invalid commands in console.S

So at least 3 of these errors keep happening despite the server and clients being updated to 1.0006, unfortunately, this error will never be fixed since a new stalker is coming out soon.

So just a bit of ediquette DONT USE THE GRENADE LAUNCHER unless you don’t like the server you’re playing on and want everyone’s enjoyment to be interrupted because you wanted to be cool.
