Photon Crash bug

    There is a bug where photons can be accelerated to extreme speeds and then the game will crash or give a blue screen that says
    " ERROR
    Details: Memory read/write error
    An unrecoverable fault has occurred, please report the error by visiting the website below

    please fix.

    Already reported. Loop mode is cool :P

    something to do with vx and vy going crazy high

    Does it still happen in the snapshots?, I think I already fixed it

    No it doesn't, the bug's been fixed. In other words, wait for version 91.6 or 92, whichever comes first.

    oh ok yeah. i have the version 91.5. do you guys use loop or void with the photons because the only way i've seen it crash was with loop (the border)?

    Yeah it only happens in loop modes. Because of the insane velocity of the photons, their coordinates fly off the screen, accessing weird parts of RAM
