Cyclone Causing Crashes

Been running in a group and I used Cyclone when it was released. Well around that time my whole group started randomly crashing at least once or twice a map. I stopped using Cyclone to see if that was the problem and the drops have stopped happening. Wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Me and 2 friends played all last night and this exact same thing was happening with us. It crashed me and one of my friends the exact same time (over 5 times) Client.exe stopped responding but the person using Cyclone never crashed.

Led me to believe it was the cyclone skill so I asked him.. He changed characters and we didn't crash anymore the rest of the night..There is something wrong with this skill.

Also happened with me and a friend he was using cyclone and i was getting dropped multiple times.

Now that I think back once I started using Cyclone I've multiple times seen the whole party (apart from me) crash.

Yesterday I was partying for some hours with another guy using cyclone (and me using cyclone), and three times yesterday we both crashed at the same time.

This happened real bad, my teammates want to make me feel better by saying it's not my fault it's the server that's unstable, but it seems that other teams never crashed, but when I'm in, they d/c like hell.

I think it has to do with the de-sync problem,
as the user of cyclone is always safe from getting d/c-ed,
while other party members reache a scale of getting too de-sync-ed with the cyclone user, they'll be kicked off from the server.

I'm not sure about the dependency whether it's calculating the synchronicity on the client side or server side, but I'm 90% sure it's caused from cyclone, and it has something to do with de-sync on character location server/client difference.

Asked 5 parties, without cyclone, no d/c.
With cyclone, members more than 2, lots of d/c, more the people higher the chance.
With cyclone, 2 members, no d/c.

Hope devs notice this :(
Now I have to forbid myself mapping with people,
it really waste map gates when people d/c once every 1~10 minutes.

Thinking back more this is actually more serious than I originally thought. Since now I recall one person dying because of this.

Basically this is how it goes when I've been using cyclone, didn't connect the dots until this thread.

You use cyclone, sooner or later everyone else (and you included if two people are using it) crashes at the same time BUT they stay in game for 0-20 seconds or so. I've seen people stand idle for quite long whiles while I've been wondering what happened to them, and one person I actually saw die standing still before he disconnected.

So, not only is it causing crashes, it's causing player deaths. And in my cases the crashes always happen to other people only, not the user himself. And when there's two people using cyclone (not necessarily maybe at the same time?) when the crash finally happens it can happen to both cyclone users (and others) at precisely the same time.

I've witnessed this doing maps on a 2h sword cyclone effectively kicking everyone else out of the game. And yesterday with me (dualwield claws) and a buddy (facebreaker unarmed) using cyclone effectively crashing one or both of us at the same time. Again with the 'standing idle' before disconnect. Yesterday I encountered/witnessed five of these crashes in around six hours played.

Bottom line: This is a very serious issue in hardcore mode, you should disable the whole skill from the game until it's fixed since it effectively in worst case scenarios kills other people.

same thing is happening to be me and my roomate. I just cant play with him and his cyclone char or I'll crash at least once per half hour :/

Same here, i crash constantly when i group with a cyclone user.
Same for the other guy in our group.

Just wanted to add this for myself. My game is always very stable, but since my buddy has started running a cycloner, I will randomly crash from time to time. It also appears to cause me to desync more frequently, but this may just be confirmation bias or some such.

I can verify the problem. Ran several maps with a 5 man group tonight and atleast 2 of them would crash when I was in the group cycloning. We also had them run several maps with me on the sidelines and there were no crashes. I tried switching the skill animation to see if it was related to that since I own multiple effects for it, and this did not fix the issue.
