I just installed the latest version from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/kf5vxpy155u9w3w/4.0+Public+Beta+vBrawl+Art.zip
I started Brawl Minus, went into Multi-Man, and added a 2nd player. This was once again followed by an immediate crash of the game. So I can confirm this is still a bug, even with the latest version.

I don't get it, is this a known issue or not? I'm assuming that since your profile has the flair "Minus Backroom", that you're either a developer or at least a beta tester. If an entire section of the game doesn't work (2-player multi-man brawl, 2-player home run contest, etc), I'd assume you'd have gotten bug reports or complaints by now.
Is this seriously the 1st time anyone has reported this? Does this Brawl mod have so few active players / testers that literally no one has noticed a relatively significant portion of the game is completely broken? From your responses, it sounds like this is the case. It'd be nice if at the very least this was acknowledged on the download page, maybe a list in bold red under the download link saying "WARNING, KNOWN BUGS: 2-player multi-man brawl and 2-player home run contest causes crash, etc, etc..." so players knew what major glitches / bugs were present in 4.0b.
Considering that Project M has ceased production, this is probably the only major Brawl mod still being developed. I understand that the developers / testers are probably made up entirely of unpaid volunteers, but it would still be nice if major issues / bugs like this were clearly marked as such. Therefore, instead of people asking if such-and-such bug has been reported, they can quickly browse the list of known issues and see if theirs is addressed. If not, they can report it and add to the list, etc.
Sorry for the rant and no offense intended to you and the other devs, but I really do feel that there should be an easier way to search / report issues. It would probably save both devs and players time and hassle, as users can easily browse and submit issues, while devs can see which need to be addressed first and fix as many as possible.

Tbh no one has ever tried to do 2 player multiman before. One of the problems we have is that not all the Minus playerbase even knows these forums exist, so even though we have several thousand downloads of the newest version(idk what the actual number is but it's up there) the problem is the playerbase is disorganized, not that it's small.

I'm sorry if you feel like I was stringing you on, but our bug catching for modes other than versus is fairly nonexistent. It took like 2-3 patches to notice that classic mode can't be completed, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was the first crash reported for two-player multi-man Brawl. Better crash and bug reporting is something we've been working on recently, but historically it hasn't been something we've had the expertise or bandwidth to do.
