What are you trying to do? Unknown, random user reported the issue

What problem are you having? Crash near CL_GetConfigString. The patch that was recently pushed in relation to the config strings is causing troubles most likely as this is a novel crash never seen before.

What have you tried so far? None

What version of IW4x are you using? r4500

Anything else we should know? error Capture

Upon further investigation of the users reporting this issue, I found out they all had one thing in common; they wanted to connect to NBS' servers.

This means that a client on r4500 is trying to connect to a server pre-protocol bump on the v0.7.9 version of IW4x.

This is not possible because the protocol bump means something was changed between the two versions that break compatibility (intentionally). I will close the issue myself since I opened it. However, I do recommend adding code to IW4x that prevents a client from joining a server on a different protocol.
