Ghost "Follow" causing client lag and softlock

[Gentlefood]

Bug Description: While deceased and ghosting, I've noticed that when I click to follow a unit my byond client begins to lag and softlock. This appears to only occur after using the 'follow' option. I will do some further testing.

Update:
Reproducability may be random. After relaunching client, I had the same issue crop up twice in a row when doing the follow verb from chat, but the third time using first the verb in the ghost tab and then the chat verb I am not experiencing the same issue.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Die
2. Ghost
3. Follow
4. Freeze

Most likely because of this: viewtopic.php?f=116&t=3641

When you appear to someone on a map that contains new resources you haven't downloaded yet, your screen will freeze until they're done downloading.

Anyone else experiencing this? Otherwise, I'm setting this to Will Not Fix or Unable to Reproduce.

I can tell you now its not the resources download lag. This is something else entirely. However I haven't been able to reproduce it recently so you can lock it.

Alrighty.
