3.1 Crash Question

It seems in 3.1 when players crash they don't produce a crash report? Or maybe some crashes don't? I don't know if this is an oversight or something that can't be helped but today a group of friends just crashed out of nowhere (server was fine) straight to desktop with no way to get a report. Why could cause these?

while i cant offer insight into the specifics of such a crash, they seem rare, and the only one i can recall was while testing
https://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=3913
to make sure one's crash reports are working properly, make sure the cvar "crashlogs" is set to 1
then type in the console "crashout" and it should crash and generate a report
if u can then reproduce the original crash but still not get a report from it, then id suggest making a tracker ticket with all the info u can provide so the devs can look into it more closely

I had that enabled and I see no crash report anywhere. I'm not sure about my friends though.

On that note, a laptop has two video cards.
For people on gaming laptops: Use the Nvidia Control Panel to go to 3D Settings and select the zandronum.exe app, and choose which video card to use. You can set it to a preferred default. I've been playing with these settings recently. I recently changed my mind and now set the preferred default to my intel video card ("Integrated graphics" option in the dropdown menu), and for each game(or app) I will manually set to use nvidia card ("High-performance NVIDIA processor" option in dropdown menu), because I was getting chunks of random pixels on my screen (specifically any visible program or windows component (e.g. taskbar)).
