Sometimes when you join a server, it seems like you get
the wrong seed, which results in invalid blocks.
Sometimes this happens during a game after a few rounds.
Today there was a guy who consistently got the wrong
seed no matter what server he joined. And it happened
immediately after he dropped the first, second or third
block (seen the third stuck in 7-8 rows higher than it
should be). Reconnecting didnt help at all. He also
tried to delete the quadra.cfg to see if that had
anything to do with it. The survivor games "crashed",
you could still chat, but you could not rejoin because
the server never sent the usual packets you get when
you connect to a server. But of course, telnet still
works so you can chat. The peace (or maybe its really
because its not survivor but ffa) mode games didn't
crash, but he was still not able to play.
He also had problem with the chat that didnt seem to
get through to the server or at least it didnt respond
with the chat message to the clients connected.
So maybe its related somehow. Missing packets from the
client to the server perhaps?
I have seen the chat bug myself a few times, but it
seemed like I wasnt able to chat at all before I
rejoined. This guy could chat sometimes, and other
times the chat wasnt sent.
