I have found a bug when closing a server and disconnecting clients, that produces a recursive error report which hard crashes SimSig. To replicate 1) Open 2 instances of SimSig (Instance A & Instance B) 2) On Instance A, start any sim with server enabled 3) On Instance B, connect to instance A as a client in the same sim 4) On Instance A, accept Instance B connection 5) On Instance B, claim any panel(s) 6) On Instance A, In the server control panel, stop the server 7) On Instance A, In the Network Control Panel remove Instance B as a client 8) Recursive error report box appears, recursively 9) Do not dismiss any error boxes 10) SimSig hard crashes These are 2 different bugs, the former triggering the latter. Bug 1) Network failure I think it happens because when the stop button is pressed, it just stops the server and does not disconnect clients before stopping the server. And when disconnecting a client it assumes that the server is running and then is unable to perform some action involved in revoking the claimed panels Bug 2) Hard crash - recursive error boxes Repeatability of this is less reliable than bug 1. If you do not dismiss the message boxes they keep cascading and eventually fills up too much RAM that SimSig hard crashes (I have 4GB in this PC). I also found that if you do dismiss all the error boxes SimSig will carry on as if nothing has happened and won't allow the error box to cascade again. Searching the forum for recursive I was able to find reports of cascading recursive error boxes locking a user out of the game until force quit, but not of it causing a crash. Possibly add some form of error handling that limits the number of error boxes, or make a safety .ssg with a pre-defined name and location that in the event of a hard crash gives some hope of recovering state of timetable and game state.

I'll be looking into this in the coming week - a little busy elsewhere at the moment. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
