I'm afraid the shard seems to have crashed. :( I get to "connecting" but no further. I was playing it at the time, hope it was nothing I did! :roll:

I've restarted it. What were you doing when you experienced the crash?

Thanks! I pm'ed Adam to explain (and gave a shorter account on the Haxman thread) - I was on the high balcony in my hood and then used my relto book. This took me to the black screen with the logo, and the logo changed colour as normal but I never got to relto. I eventually used task manager to shut down.

I've seen this crash a few times in the past week, and I just managed to catch it in the debugger. I'm not 100% sure what's going wrong, but I created a patch for what I think is wrong and have deployed it to the server. What I do know is that the crash is triggered by a certain situation when leaving an age. I still have the server running under the debugger and will be watching... If the shard stops responding, let me know! That means I've got something.

On the plus side, in looking for this crash, I discovered and fixed a problem in the server that could allow (skilled programmer) malicious users to crash it.
