    Can confirm that user Gengar's post is correct. Tested with a friend, and they were initially disconnected from the game. After they tried to select a channel, they instantly crashed. My friend, however, didn't recieve an error message.

    Bug Type : Functionality / Set-Up Item related

    Brief Bug Summary : Toggling a Custom Kitty Visual item when in the same map as other players will cause all of those players to disconnect and crash.

    More Details : The Custom Kitty item bug will only work if you toggle it on. It must be off initially in order for this bug to play out.

    Step to reproduce the issue :

    - Be in a map populated with at least one other mapler.
    - Toggle your custom kitty item on, so that you are able to see the effect.
    - Observe as everyone in the map crashes.
    - :c

    Initial Date and Time of the incident / Time of discovery : 6/21/2018 (4:05pm Eastern Standard Time).

    EDIT : Turns out that if a mapler simply has the Custom Kitty effect toggled on when they enter a map, the bug plays out for the others in the map. Maplers are able to (hopefully not purposefully) crash others by simply joining a map.
