RC2 jumping into endless loops of doom
 

I have noticed that RC2 has a habit of jumping into endless loops of error messages in certain cases. The case that happened to me was my wireless disconnecting, and I was flooded with hundreds of "You have been disconnected" errors.

The version I noticed it with is 2006/03/03. I am aware that the most recent version as of this date is 2006/03/08, but I have not yet had the oppurtunity to check it with this version (and I don't really want to right now, since I had to log off to clear the errors and close everything I'm doing).

Snakeandy also reported having this problem with an incorrect IP range error.

Yes, I got the same error.
I've also got it with the new version 03/08.

Whoa i have the newest version and my i net just lost connection for ~2 mins

well after 462 windows of Remote Control i did manage to close the process with the task manager XD

Yeah so um I'm never using RC again. I just got attacked by this. :D

I'm a recent victim too. I'll be tending to my wounds for a while.

Oh my, it just ate me. 151.. 152, I should leave this going and see how long it goes for untill it either:
1.) Crashes my computer
2.) Crashes your face.
3.) Crashes my computer.

same problem, i shut my computer down before the 200's so it wouldn't blow up...

Why not use the task manager, it's there for a reason. o-o

It was kind of hard to get it to open, find the process, select it, then end it (with about 10 new error messages opening per second).

Wasn't hard for me D:

well there are 3 problems:
1.)Error Messages take focus
2.)Error Messages spams the alt+tab select
3.)Error Messages open at your mouse XD

:D

yeh task manager didn't do it I tried that lol.

I made the mistake of leaving my rc on while I went to school today, came home, nice 3000 error messages on my laptop. I probaly coulda fried an egg on my processor thats how hot it was.

Well Task Manager worked for me really easy
The Messages wont spam the Task Manager for me so I just pressed r to finde remotecontrol2.exe process and shut it downed
It is so hard ?

And yeah this Bug should be fixxed really quick :)

Yeah it is hard since Error Messages take focus over task manager for me ...
