Thanks for pointing me to the right thread! My server side fix is similar to Andrews, but Andrews is maybe a bit more elegant. But this also needs to be fixed on the client side as well, otherwise affected clients can't connect to older servers anymore. My second patch attempts to fix the issue on the client side. I'll respond to the other thread as well. Jakob
