It's all about the bottom 4 lines, a new incomining connection from [pid-1], which then manages to generate a playeraction disconnect without ever generating a playeraction connect.

Now I don't excactly know whether this is a bug or a feature, but I really need to make sure that my PA_DISCONNECT simply does nothing on these never connected connections because I do some major unloading there and it will crash me.

Checking a player's ->status before doing anything is no solution, both a 'good' and a 'bad' player have the status S_LEAVING_ZONE when the callback triggers.

Set a loaded flag when they enter.

Check it when they leave.

For a bypass that works.

Anyway, strangely enough this only affected people that were not me, I could generate any name and enter without such an even occuring.

[Grelminar]

That's very strange, and shouldn't happen. Looking into it now...

[Grelminar]

Actually, it's not strange at all. It's very easy to trigger. But it still shouldn't have been happening.

I have a small hacky fix for it, but I decided to take the opportunity to clean up some messy code in the player state machine. So my new fix is bigger and more likely to introduce bugs, but probably better in the long run. We'll see how it works out when I release 1.3.6 (soon).

You could check the player's arena, but that might be invalid by the time it gets to PA_DISCONNECT.
