Connection lost, kind of
While doing a group mission I was in s8 waiting for the rest of the team to do the rest of tasks, I suddenly noticed that:
A) the chat freezed (no new messages)
B) I couldn't say anything over the chat
C) I could still see everything happening in the sector like usual, seeing stuff like "Serco Fighter 1 killed drone blah blah blah"
So I tried to warp to s14 but the thing just freezed at the loading screen.
I forgot to test whether or not this was that famous 'invisibility bug' but due to the fact I "could" warp it probably wasn't and I also forgot to test if everything was going in a straight line (like it normally does if your connection drops).
I tried reconnecting but it can't connect anymore (including restarting vendetta etc)
Something which might have caused it, or which might somewhat have been caused by this is that before it 'disconnected' my computer freezed up fairly often. It freezed for something like 10 - 30 sec. and then continued again. Sometimes freezing within a couple of secs after the last freeze.
However, I have these 'freezes' fairly 'often'. They tend to happen after I have played the game for a while (so it might not have (been) caused (by) it and just was a normal event, but still) especially in station and when I use menus. I think it has something to do with getting lot's of "solo1: dma timed out??" errors from my console.
What does surprise me is that UT2004 (demo) seems to get this hanging a lot less than vendetta even tough the details and everything are set to a much higher level in UT than in Vendetta here.

That's because our office internet went down briefly this afternoon, and our game server is still talking to our webserver and database here. We have more migration work to do before this ceases to become a problem.
ok :)
