Had this problem pop out of nowhere but I have 2 crash dumps on a packethook for targeting that crash on the program's beginning? Nothing too unusual before the crash on the log.

Code:

[05/30 18:04:45] Unhandled Exception! Writing Minidump file. 
This file with explanation and last lines from log files should be given to the development team.

I'm not sure how your hook is coded but it's inside core target handler... so I think u've used

Code:

Return (0);

or nothing in your code.

anyway, it's a known and fixed core handler bug (in both cases):

Code:

05-26 MuadDib
        Fixed : Crash on checking targetted players when target is not logged in.

hmm..

Basically the only reason for this packethook is to stop the "out-of-sequence target cursor" message. All it does is sets a prop to them when the target is sent and erases it when its received. If the packethook receives the target and doesnt see the prop on the player that says a target has been sent, it will spam the message back to the player instead of spamming it to the console.

in this case is your hook ok. but there is a core bug - and that's why u have this crash.
