Reraise promt not appearing under extreme lag.

[DerianX]

My alternate character is a WHM. Lately I have been having an issue with brief lockups (this is not the issue).

On occasion I have found myself in a situation where I just barely get reraise up before dying. I have noticed that if I encounter one of these lockups while casting the spell, I will not receive the reraise prompt (I know the spell finished casting because I observed it from my primary character).

I suspect the client side does not recognize that the reraise effect had been put in place due to the lockup.

As a result, I am usually forced to homepoint when this occurs.

I realize I should look into the cause of these lockups, but I felt I should bring this to the attention of the development team.

Platform: Windows XP
ISP: Shaw Cablesystems
Connection: CATV
Connection Speed: Up to 25Mbps
Date & Time: Most recent occurrence was ~10:00pm PST on Aug.25.
Frequency: Uncertain but appears to occur under the following scenario:
- Start casting reraise
- Game temporarily locks up
- Reraise finishes casting
- Character dies
- Temporary lock-up ends
Area & Coordinate: Most recent was Temenos - North, sixth floor (tonberries) at teleporter to next floor. Has happened in other areas as well (including Abyssea).

I haven't tested but perhaps the following steps would simulate the situation:
- Start casting reraise
- Disconnect internet access
- Finish casting reraise
- Let character die
- Reconnect internet access
