PATCHED - Skyrunner's altfire instantly crashes everyone in the lobby's PCs through a severe memory leak

If you select Skyrunner (Through console) in the Main Hub and use his alt-fire, it causes a memory leak that instantly blue-screens everyone in the lobby.

This means you can join literally anyone through a join code and blue-screen their entire computer. This can be resolved by just disabling skyrunner selection from console similar to how other in-file characters are disabled.

This is caused due to Flakshot duplicating the shot ricocheting when it hits a surface, the ricocheted shots then also duplicate and it continues until it consumes all the memory of the computer. This bug can at minimum crash your game and freeze your PC for 1 - 5 minutes, or at worst crash your entire computer.

i could be wrong but isnt selecthero cheat protected?

couldn't the lobby host just do sv_cheats false in console to stop this?

i agree the memory leak shouldn't persist when skyrunner is added obviously, but it isn't a release hero so not entirely sure they'll care much at the moment.

also it might just be me but that video doesn't load properly 1756162999472.png

sv_cheats can be disabled in hideout but it breaks quite a bit of features in hideout, though technically you can disable it if you really want to
