I have a lot more info now after testing. If I remove all buffs from the character causing the problem, then they are OK after that. The problem is occurring for one player only and it now appears that after the initial titanium install, he accidentally patched. He then reisntalled Titanium *over the top* of the patched install. My current theory is that this has broken something so that the client is sending bogus profile packet data to the server, which is being duly written out to the blob, and later on is crashing the server.

I've asked the player to do a fresh install and see if the problem re-occurs. In the meantime I hacked together a really quick and dirty php script to allow players to fix it for themselves. This allows you to debuff any character on the server so it's not something you'd use for a public server but the code might be useful to someone. I can't seem to post the script here - perhaps the PHP code is upsetting the forum code here - but send me an IM if you want it.

Regards

Paul.
