Can fighting Malta cause a crash?

[EmperorSteele]

So, I've been trying to AFK farm "damage taken" and "time held" badges by letting a bunch of Malta goons beat on me while a pocket emp heals me up. However, after about an hour or so, the game crashes. I didn't have this problem when doing this with Council, nor did I have any problems being afk for damage dealt badges.

I noticed that the Malta leave a lot of bullet casings all over the place, and the crash log does seem to indicate a PhysX problem...

Funny thing, even though I have 2 instances of CoH running, it usually only crashes one of them. (And yes, I'm aware of the multiboxing policy, however, we don't have anywhere near 1500 players on during the day or late overnight, which is when I've been trying to do this).

That's all I got for now.
