please open the game console and type the following commands
--------------snip------------------

upload the ufoconsole.log and events.log again please (from both sides - host and player both have to execute the commands.)

I&#039;m getting: "ERROR: CL_ParseEvent: invalid event 75"

this looks like an overflow that is produced by the massive amount of events that are sent for the needler - i&#039;ve counted 196 events for on shot - because one shot is e.g. for "Needle Stream" executed 120 times.

the best fix for 2.4 would maybe to reduce the amount of shots - but for this the sounds must be modified, too. assigned this to crystan to get some feedback from him, too.

Just reduce the count of the projectiles/particles that are fired, keep the fire time length and add more dmg - no need to remake the whole sounds.
