Every time? Or how often? Every time on affected servers
In other games? yes
In other user accounts? yes
On other computers? yes

When does the problem NOT occur? On older versions of the client

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Does not occur in 1561, I haven't actually tested the other recent versions since they had so many other issues

Workarounds: downgrade client to 1561
