Just as a note, I've been forced to use a dedicated server for network testing PhysX enabled projects because of the crash when the Host exits.

I have fixed this issue for the next released version. Since it is a simple script only change, here it is for those who do not wish to wait...

-gamescriptsclientserverConnection.cs,
-function disconnectedCleanup()
-At the end of the function, before calling physicsDestroyWorld, add a call to ServerConnection.deleteAllObjects()

// Before we destroy the client physics world
// make sure all ServerConnection objects are deleted.
ServerConnection.deleteAllObjects();
   
// We can now delete the client physics simulation.
physicsDestroyWorld( "client" );

Thanks James, I saw an error when not connected with anyone and added a check:
// Before we destroy the client physics world   
   // make sure all ServerConnection objects are deleted.   
   if (isObject(ServerConnection))
      ServerConnection.deleteAllObjects();  //mp: add a check to avoid errors

Just want to bump this and say that I had the same issue with other templates (not just Full PhysX) and this script change fixed the issue. Thanks James and CSMP!
