Have you been experiencing some issues with Skype recently? It seems like everyone is and the company has found an easy fix to alleviate those problems for you.

The company worked fast to find a fix and has deployed an update that they promise will take away any problems that users may be facing.
"We are aware of a problem that was causing Skype clients to crash," a staff moderator said in a post in their forum Wednesday morning. "Our engineering teams worked hard to resolve this issue, and have released updates for all impacted Skype platforms."
Venture Beat adds that the bug is only affecting users on Windows, Android, and iOS with Mac OS X and "Skype for modern windows" have no reported issues so far. This comes a few days after the iPhone was suffering crashes after users would receive text messages. It has since been resolved by Apple.
