ACK/NAK Bug...

[cavedude]

Couldn't it be possible that it is povoked in some way? Maybe in some cases the player did something so small and routine that bugged them that since it was routine, they automatically dismissed it as an action. Casting I could easily see, many spells aren't fully implimented and AAs bug my client all the time since they are a mess atm. Fighting, maybe they tried using a skill not fully implimented. And walking... well something may have bugged them earlier, but since they were just walking they wouldn't know about it until they tried to do something.

Here is what I was told by someone that actually got it working (name is omitted because of confidences):

The problem is that the mobs are getting assigned entity IDs that are beyond what the client likes, 10k+ or so is bad, so you need to reuse previously used IDs.

For npcs, objects, clients and corpses.

Not sure if that helps.

The issue of large entity IDs was resolved almost a year ago (when the issue was reported to me). Nobody could possibly claim they "actually got it working" because nobody can repeat it well enough to even know what was wrong.

SoD doesn't appear to have this problem. I know it's on older code, but something changed for the worse.
