Actually, it tells you to post it on the Cryptic beta boards. Those haven't existed in relation to this game for a long time.
Just an old error message that occasionally pops up.
Nothing to worry about really.
You may want to send a PM to Arbiter Kim so he can scratch his head trying to figure out where these are coming from.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
A pop-up message box kindly asked me to post this on the beta forums. This message box came from running i16 so I'm putting it here. This is the text that the message box allowed me to copy to the clipboard:

Some system specs:
Dell XPS Gen2
Intel i875 motherboard, 3.4GHz HT Prescott CPU
4GB RAM, system managed pagefile (defragmented)
RAID 0 2x120GB (84GB free)
ATI 3850 512MB AGP, Catalyst 9.12 Drivers (not hotfix drivers)
NOTE: I've set my AGP aperture to 64MB. Increasing it results in a pagefile that grows more quickly, as expected. Increasing the aperture does increase performance but by very small margins. Once the pagefile has grown in size (while running CoH) to 2.2GB and up to 2.6GB it'll generally crash at some point, though CoH can then be terminated easily with the task manager. Base editing increases the pagefile size more quickly and results in CoH crashing more frequently. (Are many 3D data structures being written to the pagefile?) With no base editing, CoH general runs nominally for 4 hours w/o crashes but more often 5 to 6 hours or more. (Of course, who plays THAT long?!)
Anyway, Message Box told me to send the text. I hope it's useful to y'all devs! I'm generally happy with CoH performance in general, so I'm not asking for tech support, etc. etc. b/c I know this forum is not for that.
