Wait, really?

How about this one?

This one works. Are you running Namalsk or Deerisle by any chance? As this is a crash that affects these two maps

Correct, this is on Namalsk specifically. Whatever the issue is, it seems to have been introduced at some point around 1.22/1.23, as there were no instances of the code in question resulting in CTDs prior to that. Is there any information you can provide to narrow down the potential cause, i.e, which class/function is crashing, or whether it's an issue with something engine-side such as surfaces, particles, lighting, etc.

It is related to how the map uses lightning. This has to be fixed by the map dev (sumrak in this case, he is aware of this crash)

Ah, then that still doesn't actually help, unfortunately haha. I'm using the same method that Sumrak is to generate lightning effects around a sphere, using the P3Ds included in Namalsk Survival (EDIT: Just checked, they're native DayZ from /dz/data/data/), so even if he adjusted the NS code, it wouldn't prevent the issue occuring here.

I'm confused as to *why* exactly it's causing a crash though; is it because the locally created object is being deleted before it's been fully created?

This looks relatively safe, to me.

	private void CreateBolt(vector position, vector orientation, float scale)
	{
		Object bolt = GetGame().CreateObjectEx(LIGHTNING_BOLT_TYPES.GetRandomElement(), position, ECE_LOCAL);
		if (!bolt) return;
		bolt.SetOrientation(orientation);
		bolt.SetScale(scale);
		GetGame().GetCallQueue(CALL_CATEGORY_SYSTEM).CallLater(GetGame().ObjectDelete, 25, false, bolt);
	}

Just to specify:

This crash is caused by the dynamic lights with shadows. If one creates a light source (with shadows on) with too big of a radius, the client may crash depending on how complex the surroundings may be. We are aware of the crash, but sadly, lack solid repro at the moment.

Appreciate the info, this actually lets me work around the issue. Good to close.
