CRASHES IN THE PAST FEW DAYS

Over the past few days the game has crashed a couple of times. We don't know what's causing the crashes but we suspect that it may be somebody trying to log into the game with a corrupted persona. Up till now it's been impossible to tell whether that might be the case, or who it might be, because if it the reason then the game crashes during the logon process and before the suspect player actually gets into the game proper. That means that not only does nobody in the game see the person logging on, the game log doesn't even reflect the log on.

Bella has now put a new version of the game code in which may help to get a handle on this. The new code inserts a note in the game log as soon as somebody starts the logon process, rather than waiting until it's complete. If the game crashes again, then we'll be able to see from the log whether there was in interrupted logon, which may indicate that our suspicions about the cause of the crashes are correct.
