    I was testing something out against by battling myself on 2 different alts (yeah sounds weird), but when the battle started, PO stops responding and essentially crashes. I recently downloaded v2.6.1, and this has never happened before on previous versions like v2.6.0. It has happened each time I have replicated it, and I tried it on a different server and it still happens.

    I've battled myself on v2.6.1 /Windows XP for testing battle scripts. I've never crashed so far unless I made an error with a loop in my script. What were you actually testing by the way?

    I was testing out my teams for ORAS Ubers. Also, PO stops responding as soon as team preview is opened.

    May I ask, are you using animated battle window? In most devices if you try to open up two battle windows at the same time it can cause the program to crash right away. I ask this becuse it has actually happened on my client when I tried to recreate bugs.

    Yes, I was using the animated battle window, and for both alts.

    I've just tested it with Team Preview clause enabled. Seems to work fine for me. You could try opening another instance of Pokemon Online instead of using server tabs.

    Just got new messages here. Also I was using the Old Battle Window on mine.

    I tried using the old battle window, and it works. New battle window does not work for me.

    Yeah new battle window seems to be a bit crashy on most devices, specially when you try to open two animated battle windows, so if you're doing testing and stuff, better use old battle window and perhaps disable team preview to prevent so many windows from popping up, since in the latest versions the team preview turns into a window itself. Using channel tabs is fine as long as the window is not animated.

    Actually, it does crash if you open 2 battles in animated window, that has nothing to do with 2 alts

    I can watch two battles on one alt fine. I can also have two battles going on at the same time with no problem on one alt.

    Edit: I cannot watch one battle and battle in a different window, with the animated battle window on one alt, at the same time.

    Edit: While I can have two battles going on at the same time, I need to click find battle twice. However, if I select two teams in Find Battle, and get two battles at once, then I crash.

    Can someone test whether the crash still occurs with the new beta client?

    The animated battle window crashes with using multiple alts. Client shouldn't crash with the non-animated one. I believe this has been known a long time for many old versions. @turbedi

    Yeah I know, I was hoping that the crash was caused by Qt and that it is fixed in the beta client (because it is using a new Qt version), but it seems as if it is a bug in the code :x
