Weird timeout followed by appearance of a ghost player.

[Yann Kaiser]

Seems to happen in really crowded servers. You're connecting to a server, settings are being transmitted and then you start receiving chat. However no "Syncing with server.." message, and it hangs until a timeout.

If you hopefully connect on the second try, a ghost will be with you, usually some Player 1. You will receive some messages double, some /team messages for instance (If both are on the same team/are spec). The Player 1 will be marked as inactive also.

Attached recording doesn't seem to playback really properly, however.

Here is a recording of this happening. The game also segfaults when exiting at the end.

Argh, it also has the very funny effect of screwing up your config if you press shift+ESC and select another window until it stops.

It could be a memory overwrite bug when processing non-protobuf messages from the server when you're assigned a client ID larger than one your client would support as a server; at least, that was the point where the debug version borked up on playback. I fixed that. Can you upload another one if it happens again?
