The Description is:

See cncnetclient.log for further info. If you can reproduce this crash, please report about it to your mod's author or directly to Rampastring (the creator of this client) at http://www.moddb.com/members/rampastring

Do you have some ideas how to fix this?

From what I can see, the crash stack trace doesn't touch my code, so I'm unfortunately unable to directly identify what is causing this.

Back when I was running XP I sometimes encountered a fairly similar error, but even then it wasn't consistent and I haven't got more of those errors after upgrading to Windows 7 (and later 8.1). However I haven't received any issue reports from other people running XP (including one staff member), so it shouldn't be related to the OS either.

Unfortunately I have to say that I don't know what is causing this crash for you.

In rare cases i got this error too.
Though never in a constant repeating way.

For me it looks like a non thread-safe call of a drawing command.
Like a PictureBox is in Thread B and your main Thread A is trying to clear it directly with a FillRectangle command.

The client is single-threaded in Skirmish mode however.

That doesn't really matter, considering how obfuscated C# is. I ran into random crashes when I had a form which I resized to fullscreen during initialization, and then placed a bunch of picture- and textboxes around to the 4 corners (this all was in the form's constructor). The crash message always complained that the positions I stated were using uninited variables (like if the constructor of the boxes ended up being faster/prioritized over the form's resize).

There probably is a better way but since I had lack of time to properly investigate it, I just thrown a timer with a tick of exactly 1 ms and such magically fixed my issues - it crashed only once after that. No, I'm not proud of it.

EDIT: Okay, checked that code. This was my comment there:

Quote:

//in constructor, ClientSize always sends back the original size even after resize, lolwut... or there's always a delay?
either way, there's a timer which sets up the UI dynamically
