Anybody else crashing when opening Reputation Boxes or Lock Boxes?

I already have a thread running in support but would like to know if this is local issue with my account or if anybody has the same issue? I crashed about 6 times now.

    It looks to be pretty much any box. Prisoner/DOff/Colonist boxes, Rep boxes, Endeavor boxes, etc. The pane displaying what you get out of them isn't working properly and, yes, frequent crashes when opening them.

    The sad thing is I was about to get the Infinity T6 Lockbox Ship and I crashed. I came back it was just a Kit Box and 4 Lobis...

    I just crashed 3 times in a row, after opening my daily endeavor reward boxes. nice patch.

    Looks like they're about to do a quick patch.

    I love how this one thing got a full blog entry of barely two lines.

    It'd be so nice if other game-breaking bugs like that (and technically, this one isn't actually game-breaking) being acknowledged in a visible blog.

    Yeah but they never updated it to say they fixed it—so now it just boldly says “Don’t open lockboxes.” I assume most players don’t read anyway—so it probably doesn’t matter.

    They didn't even say "don't open lockboxes", they still went with "it is RECOMMENDED that you not open packs or boxes".

    I guess that, even if the lockboxes are bugged, as long as the keys can be purchased (since technically, it's not the lockboxes bringing money since they're free, but the keys themselves), it's still not an emergency.

    Unless they have a "how many lockboxes were opened" metrics data, in which case, I almost hope this bug goes on for a while, as some sort of wake-up call.

    I can open Endeavor boxes without crashing. I do get the black box with nothing in it, but I do get the stuff anyway, as I can see what it was with the loot info that pops up on top of chat.

    I don't open gambleboxes very often cause I don't purchase keys that often.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Question: Are the Endeavor boxes actually empty or is just the description window bugged?

    I don't crash, but the description window is wonky and I can't tell whether I get anything from the reward list.

    I got my items. The loot roll window that pops up over the chat window shows what I got.

    Even my Endeavor boxes open with this issue, but I agree...the stuff arrives in inventory, shows in chat bar, but the actually pop up notification box is blank

    Interesting. I stopped opening them a couple days ago, but the ones I was opening seemed to get only R&D materials in the loot window. I used to get stuff like mark boxes, dil, and EC.

    Everything still drops and the text shows up in the chat window. I've gotten 1000 and 2500 Dill drops, as well as 3 50 Mark and 3 100 Mark boxes since the issue started.
