Everybody who encounters this issue, please say what Processor you have.

I am using an AMD Phenom II x4 955 Quad Core...

I get this error after removing blocks aswell...
BUT, and this is a big but

I played the game on my sister's PC (hers is an Intel i5 i think, i know its intel) and i didnt get the error. All my friends who play on an intel dont get the error, and from what ive seen on the forums, people using AMDs get the error..
Maybe a coincidence, but i dont think so at this point.

I'm running on an Intel and get this error. Has anyone gotten a fix for this? I keep crashing my friend's server because I keep getting this error and "illegal stance" errors.

Any help would be appreciated.

I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION

Worked flawlessly for me last night, creating mines, playing normally. Not a single Java error (Just game black screens, but i get that offline too)

Alls i did was... switch from my old USB Wireless stick (using an Atheros Driver) to a D-Link Wireless stick (I believe using a D-link driver?). That was all i did.

Wait, what?!
I'm not following... You... wha.
Explain PLEEASE?! I'm a n00b in hardware in general. Or was that software? :S

[Whilyam]

I found another potential solution/clue. I played using the in-browser version and I didn't have this error until Notch pushed through the update.

(Bump)
Seems like I only get this problem on smp and when my OS is windows xp. Really odd how this problem still occurs for so long with really no notice. O.o

I switched Internet cards.

I went from
Retail Plus USB Wireless card (Using an Atheros Driver)
to
D-Link USB Wireless card (Using, im guessing, a D-link driver)

Now it works flawlessly.

aka. Switched both Hardware and Software.

Because of this problem I have never been able to play multiplayer and nothing works - even tried running from wifi notebook and ethernet desktop, everything in my LAN fails. I bought this game because of multiplayer and now I am sad We have a serious problem here.

[KingDork]

Yup when I had windows 7 it worked without a problem. Though smp just hates windows xp users it seems like. Running the same machine and update java and the vid card and still it acts like after 30 seconds in smp a creeper comes and attacks my net.

Ok this is beyond a joke now, Ive had this game for SEVERAL months and still this hasnt been fixed. In other words i didnt get what i payed for. There has been hundreds of posts on this subject and Notch hasnt even mentioned getting round to fixing it. Its disgusting.

[Don_Dada]

This thread will be getting bumped more or less every single day until it gets fixed. He cant just ignore this problem , Its one of the main bugs. Ive not been able to play SMP once.

[iMIKED]

I get this problem as well. I am using Windows 7 32-bit with a Nvidia nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter.

I usually get this specific error:

Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

What happens is I will join a server, I spawn on the map and then just start falling and then after a few seconds start falling from the spawn point again (I would re-appear back up). After a few times of falling and re-appearing I would stay on the surface of the map and walk around etc. For the entire ordeal I cannot see half the map, it is just not appearing for me and I can just see sky. Then I get the error above.

If I do manage to get in the server and walk around for a bit (which is hardly ever) it is very laggy.

This problem needs to be fixed, as by the looks of it many people get this problem.

[EdwardNottingham]

I get this problem while hosting a server. It sometimes loads but just blue sky and then cuts out after about 5 seconds.

We need a fix.

[jag272]

just started getting this today. there was an update when i firsty ran it today so i assume something in that update has caused it since i did not have the error until then

[enkryptor]

I've get it after the latest version update, so I think this issue is indirectly connected with the minecraft code.

[Aj89]

I started to get this exact problem since beta update.

hey!

GUESS WHAT THE EASIEST WAY OF DOING THIS IS!

BUYING A NEW COMPUTER

anyways you guys are giving too much detail of your computer.
if a hacker saw this he probably would hack you lol

The facepalm is strong with this one.

I have a new gaming computer, it's not an issue with the computer.

Also, I'm guessing you are, what, 12? Because you don't seem to know what hacking is, just seems like some mythical and cool thing you heard of that lets you access government files at the press of a button.

On topic, I'm having this problem too, was working fine until 2 days ago, don't know what happened, but I get this message about 5-10 seconds after joining a server.

Fix would be nice, but update saying "We are working on it" would be good so we know something is atleast being done.

[scunner3rd]

I have the same issue.
Only started with the beta.
Has this been raised on the official bug reporting site? I know notch actually reads that. http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang
