[SOLVED !!!!!!!!!!!!] Flicker Strike Crash

I'll just post this here since I played a lot of flicker strike at the beginning of Talisman. Also posted about this briefly on reddit before.

This is an issue with predictive mode, and the weird monster statues that sometimes appear in predictive mode. The game spawns the set of monsters, but also a duplicate set of monster ragdolls (also seen this occur with destructible objects and also strongboxes) that can be targeted by skills, and is quite aggravating when flicker strike can autotarget these ragdoll mobs. It's really hard to tell when exactly this crash occurs exactly, but my best guess is when you flicker into a large number of ragdolls that are underneath mobs, and then the game crashes (or maybe when the game spawns too many of these ragdolls in one zone?).

It also feels like the faster you move through maps, the more dramatic this issue becomes. Flicker strike moves very quickly, thus exasperating this issue to a point where it almost becomes unplayable. I see the ragdolls often when using other skills, but not nearly as much as when I play flicker. Seems like the game might send duplicate requests in spawning objects as you move quickly around in predictive mode and doesn't handle them correctly.

This is the one of the worst cases of it I saw while playing (the pots were also broken, but still stood). http://i.imgur.com/SOjfFRC.jpg

Playing on lockstep mode fixed this problem entirely for me (no ragdolls spawn), and had no more crashing after switching. Unfortunately, you're out of luck if you can't use lockstep.

Also worth noting, that zoning in and out of a zone will remove all statuesque ragdolls from it.

I'm curious if anyone is getting persistent crashes while using lockstep and flicker.

Might need some Jonathan time on this issue.
