Seems like this is a bug in the lua script of the custom map. So I am not sure what you want the devs to do with this?

[Geradon]

dunno. I don't know shit about this stuff. 

I reported it in case it's something important for the devs^^

If not just delete it.

I did take a look at the one and only lua script required to run this map and saw nothing which should lead to an error. What's more strange is that, according to Geradon, this only happened one time. If it's a 'true' script error it should crash all the time (assuming the lua file doesn't change its own script ), not just randomly.

If it continues to happen, i can fix it with the tool. It even says the line where the error is.

1.	OnOneTimeEvent
2.   {
3.      Conditions =
4.     {
5.		PlayerHasGameLost {Player = "pl_Player1"};
6.      },
7.
8.      Actions =
9.      {
10.		PlayerGameOver { Player = "pl_Player2", TargetTag = "spectator2"},
11.		PlayerGameOver { Player = "pl_Player3", TargetTag = "spectator3"},
12.	  };
13.   };
14.
15.     OnOneTimeEvent
16.   {
17.      Conditions =
18.      {
19.		PlayerHasGameLost { Player = "pl_Player4"},
20.      },
21.
22.      Actions =
23.      {
24.		PlayerGameOver { Player = "pl_Player5", TargetTag = "spectator5"},
25.		PlayerGameOver { Player = "pl_Player6", TargetTag = "spectator6"},
26.	  };
27.   };
28.
29. State {StateName = "INIT"}

This is the script literally copied from the file, I changed nothing besides the line number on the left for convenience sake. Besides what I said earlier about it being strange that it doesn't always crash if it's a script error, I don't see anything in/near line 18 that could give this crash.

Well weird cuz only difference is:

3.      Conditions =
4.     {
5.		PlayerHasGameLost {Player = "pl_Player1"};
6.      },

17.      Conditions =
18.      {
19.		PlayerHasGameLost { Player = "pl_Player4"},
20.      },

As u can see, there's ";" in first case, and "," in second but that really shouldn't cause problems.

You can try changing the "," to ";" so it looks like this:

17.      Conditions =
18.      {
19.		PlayerHasGameLost { Player = "pl_Player4"};
20.      },

Well, I've written quite a bit of script always using ' , ' at the end instead of  ' ; ' and never had issues.That being said though, the only difference I notice that might cause it compared to how I write it is that I write

      Conditions = {
		PlayerHasGameLost ({Player = "pl_Player1"}),
      },

instead of

      Conditions = {
		PlayerHasGameLost {Player = "pl_Player1"},
      },

Although this also shouldn't cause it because else this script would never work  It sometimes working and sometimes not (according to Geradon) is basically why I think it must be something else, but no idea what. Maybe some client stuff.

[fiki574]

Well then probably client behaving retarded as usual.
