Well, THUGPro is gonna receive a major hotfix someday but definitively not very soon AFAIK, hopefully it will fix all these bunch of crashes.
I mean, darn, is this update THAT unstable? lol
So for now, i think you'll have to get used to reconnect and/or lagging, unless someone here just pulls out their workaround out of their sleeves, which i haven't seen so far... Yet.
EDIT: TomoAlien beat me to it, damn, you're probably reading my mind, aren't ya? :p
