Awhile ago, a lot of people, as well as I, mentioned a problem with using the spy and having it cause bug problems. I get messages completely at random saying things like "Noyon" and I know it is coming from us of the spy. Did a patch ever get produced for it?
A problem of the patch 1.1 just open the chat window by using the key: ' and type: /reload slic
(I hope I typed it correctly. Can't remeber with or without the space. But if you typed it correctly all current messages in the message box will be deleted.)
