Happening in both the alpha and the last stable version.

Submitting any scorepoint to CaravelNet is currently freezing the game.

Here's the simplest possible way to submit a scorepoint to CaravelNet:

- Download Accessory Training Facility. Start a new game.
- Head South into the tunnel to go to another room.
- Bump the character in front of the black door, then walk down the stairs.

Running in the debugger, I'm seeing the server is returning a 500 error on score point submission. I'll need schik or skell to troubleshoot further.

It goes without saying that we should change the game code to not hang in this instance.

I believe I've got this fixed.

Thanks! The issue is resolved for me.

I'll be putting a bit of new code into the client that enables failing gracefully for whenever this particular issue arises again.

PR

Now there shouldn't be long hangs anymore on the game screen due to server errors.

Also, I found a couple other server-related issues in RPG on the Settings Screen that are fixed in this change.

When the player clicks "Report My Progress", if the server doesn't respond properly to receiving score checkpoints, then the score save records would just get deleted. I've fixed this so that the records are only cleaned up when it's confirmed that the server has acknowledged receiving them.

Also, some logic was incorrect, so residual scores that still need to be uploaded weren't being found. In the next dev build, try clicking this button and you may observe a bunch of undetected score records now getting uploaded.

I've also migrated the relevant improvements to 5.1.1 (game screen, settings screen, hold selection screen).
