...caused by lua errors in any addons in the addons folder. Lua error pops up, hit OK to tell it to shut up, and VO dies. Maybe not a bug, but could we have the game fail to load addons a bit more gracefully?

edit: By lua errors I mean trying to write to undeclared variable(namely _G(I forgot to make things declare()) and trying to concatenate nil field(namely GetPlayerName() or whatever I was using before the player logged in)

It depends on the type of lua error. Certain errors pop up a Windows message box, and those will kill the client when they are closed. They should only happen when the lua code is loaded and not during run-time.

Aye, those are the ones. I'll stay away from opening VO on newly minted addon code.
