I tried again with a completely default client config and I can't reproduce it on DDNet GER1, GER3, CAN, Japan, Korea, RUS, USA, Turkey and also not on that specific...

Yeah, I added a `dbg_msg` at https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/blob/fece84c8921b54c2185e485652a21e94d93ef5a7/src/engine/client/client.cpp#L1698-L1700 which is the only place where the client handles `NETMSG_MAP_CHANGE`. Maybe the message is sometimes received at a time when the client doesn't...

Maybe it's related to specific shell extensions. See these remarks about `CoInitializeEx` which we are currently not following correctly: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shellexecutew#remarks

@def- or @Cheeser0613: Can you ask them to try again with the current 16.4 release candidate?

Maybe moving the `ShellExecute` call to a separate thread would help. According to the documentation we should also call `CoInitializeEx` (i.e. use the `CWindowsComLifecycle`) on every thread, but with `COINIT_MULTITHREADED`...

This is caused by lossy conversion between different color formats. The config variables are integers that represent colors as HSLA with 8 bit per component (0 - 255). The color...
