problems with server/client communication

[Torojima]

I have a IPacketHandler responsible for receiving packets from server to client and the other way round (thus only one packet handler and not two).

 

The packets I'm using are Packet250CustomPayload packets. First entry is a custom packet id so the packet handler can recognise what to do with them.

 

Now since the last update all routines working by sending packets from the client to the server do not work any more, while all routines working by sending packets form the server to the clients are working fine.

 

I have no idea where to look for clues how to fix this. Does anybody have any pointers for me where I can start looking for faults?
