I've had this issue for a long time
When my router randomly restarts, my game disconnects from the server which is normal, but upon trying to reconnect, the game crashes.
If im playing in the clockworks or in a mission, the game always crash when I disconnect and try to reconnect.
I boot the game, see the login screen and after that, Java (eww) stops working
This issue seems to be fixed if my character returns to haven.

Can confirm the same issue. Last night when I was in the clockworks, my character started experiencing extreme lag, in which I could only move extremely slowly and none of my actions actually happened. It had no signs of resolving its self after several minutes, so I disconnected in order to see if a reconnect would fix it. (Interestingly, my friends said that my character started moving around doing the actions I was trying to do after I had disconnected...)
However, when the game tries to log back in, the game stops responding and has to be stopped manually.
