Fireball crashes people in my party if they are too far from me

Hiya,

First of all, thank you for all the hard work, POE2 has been absolutely fantastic.

Anyway, I'm an Infernalist Witch playing with some friends and recently we've encountered an issue where when I cast Fireball (linked with Scattershot) I will crash their games when they are more than about 3-4 screens away from me. Anyone who is close to me will not get the crash. This is very reproducable and consistent.

This has consistently happened whether I am in demon form or not, and as funny as it is to threaten my friends with a crash to desktop, I felt I should report this.

Cheers

I also have experienced this, I think I have unknowingly crashed my friends like 10 times so far.

I also cause this as a Fire Sorceress without Fireball. Maybe related to ignite?

My friend is playing Deadeye using Crossbow and also INSTANTLY crashes me ANY time I try to get more than a screen away from him. He is using the rapid fire shot. We haven't figured out what's causing it as well as the above posts, but our best theory is its related to either his Heat mechanic, the ignites he creates, or his flashbang (linked with scatter).

After testing with my friend I am 90% sure it is due to the support gem: Fiery Death.

If you take Fiery Death off your gems it should stop the crashing.

+1， Fire ball with support gem: Fiery Death. My friend out of my screen range keeping crash.

thanks for the comments about firey death, removing the gem fixed this issue as well

+1 still happening after patch
