uh, interesting theory. In CPP having "%n" in a string is supposed to indicate that after the string there's a pointer to an integer, and obviously there wouldn't be one, so it has a fit and dies. Perhaps that's more likely :/

I think the bug is as following:
When a client dies , he send a deathMSG containing name of player he got killed by and her own name. This message is broadcasted to ALL players.
When a "pirate" client that have the name bug , get the message , it goes as following:
Name: %n-abc (oops! nick contain % and need to be altered)
Alterations: 1: %n-abc 2: %n-abc-abc (change %n to current nick) 3: %n-abc-abc-abc 4: .... 10: %n-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc-abc
and so on , and this is called for an infininte loop.
I think the update of the game does not allow alterations of nicks if not name command is executed or server requires it.
