Amazing, simply amazing!

Alright, i open up my computer, log in to diablo and enter a game.

After i leave it, i get lost connection to b.net and i am told i have a tempban.

/rage

Also, note that i only joined ONE game and left it after around 2 minutes.

It was first time i logged in on the whole day!

What did i do wrong?

Edit, lol it only lasted 10 minutes. GG blizz|||Thats anti bot protection (but works as anti mule/fast baalrun protection).

It can last from 10minutes up 2 12hours:)|||Quote:

The thing was that i logged in and got temp banned immediately after leaving the first game i joined, not after doing fast muling ect, ect.

Also i do know what it is, i just don't understand what it is, i just don't get why i would get it for reasons above. |||slow down your actions while changing chars

wait 5-10 secs between actions

doing that quickly will give temp bans too|||The way I understood this was that nurman didn't even have time to change characters. Just leave the first game you're in, and instead of appearing in chat like you should, you get booted off Battle.net, with a temp ban as a courtesy detail.

I've had this happen numerous times. I'm betting that Blizzard has a standard action in their code for all exceptional situations. Whenever something goes wrong, whether it is a server bug, a network issue or something the player actually did, the result is that the player gets booted with a ban. And yes, I do feel that the whole approach is stupid and counter-productive.|||Quote:

Yup, this is what i was trying to tell you guys. |||Do anyone remember the unbelivable waiting time there was during the 1.09 to enter games?

Well, this approach, that can seem very bad, solved that problem. We simply have to learn to do things slowly.

- Do not stay in a game for a single minute or two. Stay at least 4-5 minutes

- Wait 5-10 seconds before moving after you enter a game

- Do not change characters immediately after leaving a game

- Do not enter a game immediately after chosing a character

- Simply do things SLOWLY. Always wait 4-5 seconds beteween EACH of your action (Login, choose character, open channell/chat, open game search window, enter game, start playing)

If you do your things quite and slow, you're going to have MUCH less problems... That's the price to have much less lag than times ago|||problem is that under blizz penalization is very very things, but they use just few notices before or during penalization. so many times its very confusing, cause u dont know why or what system sais is totaly nonsense...|||Quote:

Seriously read the thread first. I know your just trying to be helpful but at least be on target of what was said previously in the thread.|||Did you scroll through your skills really fast? That can land you a temp ban.

It doesn't really matter to them what's smart or stupid. Regardless of any issue with the game, they'll NEVER upgrade their servers to allow such features. Their solution to the fire lag bug? Disconnect you if there is too much torch procs/meteors going on all at once. They COULD just upgrade their servers, but they won't. They barely make anything off of this game anymore, and the cost of upgrading their servers would just be a wasted expense, speaking from the perspective of a business.

All in all though, it really is a pointless measure. We all know bots thoroughly dominate this game, and their measures have done nothing to stop them, nor will they ever implement measures to stop them. The only thing they've managed to do is make this game a pain in the *** to enjoy for the legitimate players.

Back to 1.12 possible?

Hi,

just wondering if its possible to reverse the game back to 1.12 (speaking of SP) after 1.13 patch was applied.

I am intending to respec my zon using 1.13 but play 1.12 then again.

I remember there was a reverse possibility from 1.10 back to 1.09 back then.|||Just change the realm from Classic Beta to any other realm you prefer.

I think you can get somekind of patch from Blizzard's website.|||only in single player obv.|||Quote:

If you plan on MPing or trading on the single player forum, check with the SP moderators about this. I doubt this is allowed in the community.|||Quote:

I am not! All my chars goes 100% self-find!

Just want to know if SP characters are still playable in 1.12 after they were played in 1.13. That is my question.

Thanks|||Again, you could most likely get a more accurate answer by heading to the SP forums.|||Quote:

OK, I got the point....but this is a 1.13 suggestion, isn't it?

The same question could apply for open characters as well.|||If all you want to respect a character in 1.12, use plugY. It's much safer.

You can remove plugY once the respect is done and play the original game.

1.13 back to 1.12 is certainly possible, a simple way is just reinstall the game, download and apply patches up to 1.12. But when a 1.12 character is played thus converted to 1.13, it may not work anymore on 1.12. So imho it doesn't worth a try.|||Quote:

You mean respec, not respect.

Also, PlugY is not acceptable in the SPF, not to mention help with it or anything is not supported on these forums.

Aura stackers are back...

I do not know if this has been mentioned but i have already found a bug/exploit that allows aura stacking holy shock/fire.I wont go into detail, but you just need to"self stack"and you are back in buisness.I hope this bug wont make it in pvp,but i already know at least 2ppl using it(not me)so it wont be long until others find out.Be prepared to meet more stackers...|||Quote:

Please post the exact details of how this aura stacking is done so that it can be fixed. If blizzard doesn't know how it's reproduced, they can't fix it.|||It would be better if he did not post the exact details on this forum. There are other ways to report bugs.

Also, it is strange that you have one post and that single post is dedicated to "finding a bug so it can be fixed."|||Quote:

Which should probably be done on the Blizzard forum or in an email to them.|||Quote:

Has anyone figured out exactly what has been changed?

Error Installing Patch?

"Blizzard BNUpdate v2.72 compiled on Oct 16 2003

I think I may know the answer to why this occurred, but if I can solve it, that'd be marvelous. If anyone can help, please post ASAP.

thanks to like the two viewers. but i fixed my problem. it was a misplaced file and i am now playing under the new patch.

(:

hit up nuttersums.|||how did you fix it? im having the same problem|||If you are playing SP and using some mods like RWM you will see this error using your regular shortcut. Go to your install directory and run the game from the "Diablo II.exe" and you should do fine.

Nac|||EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the above post|||i cant fix this someone please post how u fixed it!!!

i dont use mods ive reinstalled it from the site 4 times in different locations each time i still get this error please tell me how to fix it|||i fixed it finally... somehow the file is moved to the c drive and u have to move it to the diablo folder ty not telling any1 how u fixed it opening poster..

Disconnected

Since 1.13 I can't stay in a game for more than max. 10 minutes at the time before the game stalls and I get the disconnected message. After this when i return to the create game screen My char can't join as well as I can't create a game..

any ideas? this was a big problem at 1.11 and 1.12, but now it has grown even bigger in 1.13 on LOD Europe realm...|||It is because of an exploit people are doing.

More or less hacks/cheating that is killing the servers.|||Ya its been doing the samething to me tonight. Played fine last night i just figured it was an overload on the server due to the amount of people playin i play us east|||Yeah, same.. it's been happening to me also. Is it affecting everyone in every game at that same instant? Or is it just me?|||I've seen "your connection has been interrupted" followed by "unable to join game" when I try to get back in at least 8 times today (on USWest) realm. Whoever or whatever it is doing hacks or something that causes this problem for real people just trying to play the game is really annoying. I was looking forward to the 1.13 patch, but now I wish there were some way to go back to 1.12 because the current mess is awful. |||It is most likely occuring to 85-90% of bnet of every realm

Where these numbers come from, i threw it out there but I only assume so because it is not people, it is the servers that people are playing in that are lagging. And having limited servers, of course a great majority will lag.|||It really @#$%es me off.

I made my own game and wait 10 min or so before I xfer'd some early treasures. Right when I dropped it all and was ready to exit and join with another character this stupid ban hits me.

I gotta pay the price for other's cheats, and they reap the rewards without facing anything.......|||^ Yeah. That's why i got someone to join my game just in time. phew.. Sorry for your loss though|||I also get this very regulary. Game stalls and then the message about being disconnected.

Can't create or join games anymore with the current character for a couple of minutes, but during those minutes i can play with another character just fine.... until that one runs into the same problem.

Game becomes less enjoyable every time |||Its a problem all over that seems to be a Blizzard problem from all I have been reading recently. These Interruptions and non-access is ridiculous. Like someone said, all we can do is complain and complain. Which is what I am doing. Good luck

Connection issues ate my character.

Anyone else have this happen?

We all know that there are countless issues with losing connections in-game. I usually have this happen about a dozen times in a play session, myself.

Most recently, I lost my connection during a solo Baal run. I was in Baal's room when I lost the connection, got logged out of Bnet, and when I logged back in, the avatar for the character I was using was missing from the character list.

Note that the character name was still there, as was his level, and title from killing Normal Baal. Just the little image of him was gone, and now when I log into Bnet with him I cannot create or join games or even join any chat channels. All that I can do is look at the ladder rankings.

EDIT: This is not the same as the 'failed to join game' error people have been getting -- for this toon, the create/join buttons are greyed out, as though it were dead, but there is nothing to indicate that he is dead. Once in Bnet his usual avatar appears at the lower-left.

My alts and mules are still there and I can still play with them, but this one (my main for this ladder season) is totally unplayable now.

I really hope someone has a solution to this...
