Visited Blade Symphony store page inside the client, it crashed with these IDs.

Visiting games without videos, like Counter-strike or Half-Life is fine. Newer titles like Fez, etc, cause this to reproduce. I don’t have Flash, which is probably triggering this.

Am on the latest client beta and had updated .deb as of yesterday(?)

If works for me (sound errors though), but our version of CEF is pretty old and may just have a problem here.

It might be an AMD compiler issue as has been triggered before?

I'm not sure what AMD compiler issue you are referring to?

Ah, yes, it's most likely the same thing since this is also an illegal instruction trap. Closing as a duplicate.

That issue had stopped being a problem - its only been crashing since the latest site changes - I assume #2365 is the same bug too.
