Lushang and fly lure fishing for cheval salmon and shining trout. Skilling 16up. All freezes occur during a caught fish. Xbox is not hot. 1st freeze today was in sea serpent grotto at the middle lake. Freezes have been more often as the day has gone. Zone has generally only had two or three people max.

SE has a divide by zero error in their client code when you hook a fish. They essentially do something like:
1/FLOOR(rand*50)
where rand is a number from 0 to 1. Because they don't exclude the possibility of rand being <= 0.02, they end up with some divide-by-zero errors which end up causing the observed behavior. This has actually been a problem for the last 3-4 months.

Wow 3-4 months! Another two occurences today in carpenter landing. This is making fishing near impossible. It's horrible to constantly login on xbox. I wanted to start inside the belly, but freezing up every 30 min or so isnt going to work
