When bots jump in, they occasionally come in named "reading transponder 1830842908", or something to that effect. If I lock on to them, and hold my lock, they stay with that name to everyone, players included. This is most bizarre. In fact, when I killed one, it said the whole "Ehr destroyed reading transponder blahblahblah" thing.
Also, when I do Advanced Combat Training, I often get
<hudtext> Good work </hudtext> ERROR READING FILE
But not all the time.

The client displays that info for a bot until it receives the name of the bot. I guess either the client isn't properly updating the screen when it receives the info, or the message from the server is getting lost somehow.
The fact that you have it selected will not affect anyone else.

Where do you see the ERROR READING FILE message? In the HUD or in the mission text or in your advancement log or where? If you can submit a screenshot, the problem would be easier to track down.
