Yesterday we trobuleshooted some internet connection issues with one of our players who could only load 2/3 into the loading screen when connecting to our GM.
We've deleted cache of test campaigns and tried again in a fresh new campaign without any extensions or moduels loaded and the player could connect, though sometimes got errors about extensions from another cached campaign with something like "extension meta-data error". The extensions would then load for the player, show in chat and even work halfway, while the GM had no extensions enabled and none loaded. After exiting and reconnecting, this error was gone. Maybe something buggy in the syncstate of extensions?
Sorry for the rather unclear reproduction.
This is mostly meant as information for the devs as this is not the root cause for our problems yesterday but a symptom (which might be exploitable). The player will try to connect via VPN next week bypassing his ISP routers which he isn't allowed to manage.
