Infinite Loading Screen on Dedicated Servers

We've just updated the mods we were using in 1.0 today. My friend that runs the server on a dedicated machine seperate from his gaming machine can connect fine, but I get an infinite loading screen. Even stranger is that I have sound, and can use items that I'm holding, but I can't move. I've tried reconnecting a few times with the same result. Sometimes the game will crash while loading instead, with a generic Access Violation error. Attached is the SMM debug archive and a picture of the loading screen.

Solution:
Solution is to forward port 8888 for TCP, it's a new port needed for dedicated servers.

Well, we went to binary search the modlist for a broken mod, and the issue persists even when the modloader is turned off. Might be a bug with the base game rather than the mods.
