Yeah, there's some funny stuff going on there, I think maybe multiple messages from the server are running into each other and confusing the java client. I'm more concerned about the gameserver crash, but it might just be related.....

Just a bug-squashing update:

I think the two game server crashes we had lately are related to mines (both events involved the Porcupine vehicle). I had a similar problem before.. basically if two mines are close enough together then one exploding will explode the other. Which causes a chain reaction as the first one is exploded again (which shouldn't be possible of course) and the server gets into an infinite loop and barfs... anyway, hopefully it's fixed properly this time.

The lobby problem was related to the fact that, following an error, I had it trying to log in again. This lead to the client sending a load of data to the server, getting a load back, and crashing again... an infinite loop again. I'm hoping this is what unsettled the lobby server itself (being too busy etc.). Now, if the lobby client gets an error it will tell you and halt. You will need to re-run it and log in again.

The NPC driving problem has also been sorted. So they won't be ploughing into walls at full tilt quite as much. Now you won't be beating them so easily... muhahaha!

Fingers crossed...
