It seems that the 3.08 patch introduced or at least didn't fix some problems when one tries to connect to a network server. The server seems to drop the connection and the client hangs itself up on this behaviour, it doesn't respond any more at all. Workarounds include to kill the client and directly connect again to the server, which "usually works". The mid_Unlucky game seems to suffer from this (see the discussion on page
10,
11 and
12 of that thread), for example. We're having exactly the same problem on
a server for a game from another board.
Since the number of people having problems with this might be even higher and we should track down and isolate the problem, who else is suffering from this? What OS are the servers using, which OS does the client use, are other games on the server affected aswell?
