*Serverside patch* duping fixed/connection interrupted

Hi,

I've not seen it debated here before.

supposedly the public dupe method was fixed this night. This is good news - spamming meteor and bonewall no longer grants you unlimited resources...

However, it seems that the fix causes the game to crash when spells are spammed. We have done some baal runs on Europe and it seems that the majority of games got connection interrupted. We did some basic tests such as removing torch/phoenix monarch from my amazon since I seemed to have most ctc's in the party. Still, we would get C/Is a lot, especially during the 5th wave.

Have you guys been baalrunning? Any conclusions? What causes the games to crash? It seems random to us, but perhaps you came up with some pattern?

Discuss :smiley:
 
Yes, Battlenet Europe seems to be stable again. I made 12 games with no lags or creation failure (2x a couple of L85 areas, 10 triple key runs). However, I would like to read something official about it. Does anybody have a link ?
 
If this is true, then I'm all for it as it stops/makes duping harder as well as shakes up what skills people will use.
And if true, I'd like every "D2 is dead, WoW is all Blizz cares about" person to comment in the thread, but maybe I'm being silly :D

Do you both play single games only? Read again - I would say that 80% of our baalruns got connection interrupted...the anti-dupe measures seem to be far from perfect. We need to figure out what causes games to drop :wink3:

We did have no meteor sorcs...perhaps someone had ctc meteor. It might have been firestorm from torches but that would be bad news I guess...



 
I saw that this was patched at youtube, and my noob duper friend confirmed this to me.
It's also a rumor out that the perm method has been patched.

enough to me *installing d2*
 
I honestly haven't heard anything about that, but then again I haven't stepped foot on B.net in almost a week. You tweaked my interest, I may just try out the servers tonight for lag/playability. I don't Baal anymore, so I may have better luck than you ;)

Interesting...
 
Mike, it seems I haven't read your posting thoroughly enough. :rolleyes:

I made two Baal minion runs (as well CS+Diablo, Trav and Pits) with my bowazon. She also has a lot of ctc items, like a torch, Fortitude, Andy's, LoH, Atma's etc. No C/Is, everything went fine. It were solo runs, however.

I'm off, doing keyruns again and then... ÃœBERS ! OMG how I missed that :laugh:

Watch out, uber games are said to be dropping as well today whenever there are many monsters around - again it might be a multiplayer issue.



 
CTC =? help me with that one please.

According to a long thread on the world of duping (jsp) forum people where still duping. Someone posted that it was fixed and a whole bunch of people jumped on him and said that they could still dupe...:(

I was on bnet 3.5 hours ago and still suffered ftjg message upon entering. bummer.

The best sign for the stop of a duping Wave is ...? guess what?.The Worldevents!In the last few weeks there were like 8-10 walks a day,all kinds of people selling sojs like mad(i always check the Mirc channels).It all stopped today.Everybody stopped selling..how come?
Lagdupe is gone.As soon as "signs" of a growing lag in your game occur,you get C/I and all players are kicked.I did some baalruns with some 97,98 chars on HCL today,we tested some kind of things.The necsummon had all minions(2x or smth),as soon as he started spamming bonewalls ..C/I.The biggest problem were the Javazons, as soon as they started throwing Lfury, the firestorm kicked in and immediate C/I.You can use Titans revenge as a melee weapon only now.I read that solo cow-mf runs are a guarantee to being kicked.
I guess this might be a problem in Ubertrist too but i am not sure, fact is i never had better(lagfree) games in the last 3 months.
 
OK, I found the final key for a 3x3 keyset and got the organs. Everything went fine (except for that full rejuv I had to drink versus Lilith because lifetap didn't trigger quickly enough :rolleyes: ).

In Tristram I got disconnected, but the game wasn't gone. I just got thrown out and I could enter it again ! It happened 3 times when fighting Ãœber Baal and his clone while about 15 minions shot arrows and spells at me.

My guess is when there are too many effects to be displayed, like ctc effects, spells etc., you get disconnected. As I said, I could enter the game again and finish the Tristram run.

BTW, it's a 14/16 sorc torch :thumbsup:

Perhaps they just fixed it in Europe so far, the realm Mike's and I are playing in.

Sadly that would mean that baalruns will be next to impossible to do, with fast teleport the game will not be "permed" and simply drop which is what we have experienced today.

European servers had maintanance at around 1:30 am today AFAIK.

Congrats on the torch, not the highest stats but at least a decent-class one :wink3:



 
I just made another Baal run with my zealot and there were lots of succubi in the throne room which cast amp and shoot zillions of red balls. No disconnect. At least it seems to be safe to do solo Baal runs. Tristram is a different story, but as you can enter the game again, that's not really a problem, just a little annoying - it's not a far walk to Ãœber Tristram.

good maybe now we can go back to being able to play again :grin:



 
Upon seeing this thread i made a game and tried spamming bonewall...no c/i

Im guessing that alone is not enough to trigger a c/i though?
 
I have been very active in the game today, albeit with 1-2 players only. It is the smoothest experience I had in ages. I did experience a black wall/rollback once, then I dropped from a 2 player game in which I was able to rejoin (game didn't die that is) and the rest were at the 20-50 ping region.
 
I just moseyed on and man is it beautiful... Ping < 50 :)

I will go out on a limb and say they definitely did something with lag tolerance... I successfully dropped myself in ~45 seconds spamming BW and Poison Nova (spamming BW was not enough for some reason). I got C/I'ed but can join games and didn't get temp ban - so yeah!

Blizz did something - with that I would say the public dupe is likely kaput. Shed a tear everyone...

Even if it doesn't seem to work, let's not elaborate this any further...
