What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Matchmaking

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Carry a knocked-out player on your back.
  2. Drop the player onto the ground (do not throw).
  3. The game crashes, occurring at random/unpredictable locations on the map.

Expected Result

Dropping a knocked-out player should not cause any crash, regardless of the location on the map.

Observed Result

The game crashes when a knocked-out player is dropped, but only at certain specific locations on the map (not everywhere). These locations don’t appear to follow an obvious pattern, but the crash is not random across the whole map — it seems tied to specific spots.

Additional Notes

This appears to be a separate but related issue to the mutator zone crash bug, since it involves the same “drop downed player” action. Unlike the mutator zone bug (which happens in a specific zone type), this crash occurs only at certain specific locations on the map, not everywhere.
