I know what you mean. I HATE this bug! It happens to me every single time i play on bluetooth. I asked scottlu once, and he said that bluetooth sometimes doesnt work, and a few bits of information is lost.

The gob count is the number of gobs (graphical objects) on the map. Say, if a player's guard is killed, the gob count is less. This gob county thingy is sent over bluetooth like a thousand times a second, and if bluetooth messes up once, then the numbers are out of sync and the game goes into an error.

It's a bluetooth problem, and they havent given any word of fixing it.

Until then, I guess we have to do single player...

Is it screwed up on multiplayer over internet, too?

It happens over any connection. There were many cases where all the players were dropped, and the host got that error.
