Ok, so this is a really wierd, and terribly annoying thing. -.-
So, first of all as usual my internet will go all slow like it's going to timeout, which is fine .. because I know that's a problem with my internet. Thing is, instead of losing connection and showing the start screen (LS Pier in 0.3 Vinewood screen in 0.2x) it will like ... time me out but keep me connected, so I see what everyone is doing .. like they are moving normally and shit .. but I can't talk, use commands, etc. etc. that you can do when you're properly connected. It sounds to me like something is seriously fucked up with the network code in 0.3, but just to be sure I reported it here. This has only been happening recently.
Also, on a timeout (sometimes it will properly time me out and show LS Pier screen) on reconnecting I am stuck at the Pier screen, but I am connected, like I can talk and login and all that shit .. but can't spawn. However, yesterday I found a fix for this ... literally .. on asking an Administrator to fix my account, I was spawned and fully connected. Again, sounds more like a SA:MP bug .. but whatever, still pissing me the fuck off.
_________________________________________________
In addition to the first bug, the main bug ... I've just had it happen again. This time I tested it more, I found that I could kill people still, but the sync was totally fucking fucked .. like I could shoot at someone from one place, move .. and shoot them again .. but they would be shooting at the place I was previously shooting from. Now, after I kill someone (which is hard enough trying to do it half timed out) they don't "die" they just wall-run like they have timed out, then when they are re-spawned they disappear.
Edit: And like I said in the first post, during this time, you cannot use commands, or talk using any chat (ie/ @, ; or #) you're just kind of .. there.
Edit 2: Just had it again ffs, getting more and more frequent it's fucking useless .. but anyways, I was on the ship .. and I could still kill people .. on the ship. I had weapons, on the ship .. I could drive cars .. on the ship. I wasn't jailed, however when I /q and logged back in I was in jail and got the "You have been sent back to jail" message. I was kindly unjailed by someone.
So you can understand the importance of this bug? Here are some screens:-

Okay, now if you have ever played LVP, you will understand most of that .. if you haven't don't worry. The first bit should give you the general idea. 4 or 5 people from the same community have also reported this issue.
IMPORTANT:If you have experienced similar issues, or have experienced this issue before please write a small detailed post of what exactly happened. What were you doing, etc. etc.
