Game crashing when a (random) item is loaded

[MagicManICT]

I had forgotten the graphics are served by the web server. I logged in last night while the website was down to see if the whole mess was down or if it was just the website. Game was up and a bit of a chat later, I found out people were crashing out if there was a graphic that wasn't cached locally along with no functional mini-map. This whole thing may be some problem that's been creeping up for the last week or two. If this is the case, there's nothing we can do on our end about it. (I suppose one could use one of the player designed graphics packs such as Daji's, but those aren't a complete redo of the graphics.) We'll just need to wait for someone to fix it.

As a side note: It seems the worst of the lag had disappeared with the website down. Could it be that our lag issues could be related to the graphics services?

FYI
The Website wasn't down - only inaccessable with http - https worked...and it only seemed for you that there was less lag - for me it was the same.

Also i had crashed with a graphic not loaded (Qmark instead of dead Roaster in Inventary - interesting enough i had dead Roaster images around 3 minutes before in opened chest) but with functional minimap...

Heh. I didn't try an https connection.

This was based on a discussion I had in game over the global chat. I'm not saying it was or is the cause, but could be contributing to it.
