[0.15.31] Game crashes after placing rails in MP

[TheOrangeAngle]

Hi,

I was on a public MP server and while placing diagonal rails next to each other, my game crashed. Booted it back up, continued placing rails and crashed again. Attached is the

Can you reproduce it? From this it seems that Gate had invalid direction, which is very weird.

Well if by reproduce it you mean crash again then yes. Happened again in a different spot, further down the line. I should add that this time and the first time were both caused soon after removing a power pole and then clicking the arrow that appears on the tracks to lay more rail.

I will try to go to the same spot where the second crash happened and try to replicate what i did before.

Attached is log from third crash.

I found a possible cause of this, and patched it. The crash will also output the value of the fault direction, so it if it happens again, we will know more.
