Was waiting for players in a lobby with a friend and ended a sentance with >.< And the game crashed, thinking it was just a normal crash - It crashed both of us. we loaded up again, got a new lobby, again I said something ending with >.< and it crashed again.

We tested again just spamming to see if it was chat crashing the game due to overflow and it was fine. Then entered >.< again and the game crashed.

Chat cannot handle certain characters and will crash the game client. Tested in a Live game, Crashes the game for all clients. Please  fix this ASAP. Only known crash is >.< I havnt tested any other combination.

It appears to be anything within > < crashes the client. Possible left over Dev Debug/Console cmds that crash the game unless correct input? Or just a random chat bug?

This is a pretty serious one as anyone who types it can and will crash the game for all who are in the same lobby and game.

Doesnt crash both clients in Friend to friend chat, that only crashes the local client, not the persons you are talking to.
