Hi,
I am getting disconnected from D2R online games the last week or so. It has become more and more frequent. Once i get disconnected with a certain character i get the message in the topic headline: “Failed to enter game. This character is already in a game on the server. Please try again.” The character is locked for 30sec to a minute. Sometimes it happens every 3 minutes, sometimes its an hour between.
However, I have no latency or connection issues (it seems) from my side. A rolling ping to both my gateway, google or my work-server all show no increase in latency and 0% packetloss across multiple hours while the problem is happenening. So i dont think its my equipment or local provider.
Previously trying to find routing problems there was a Blizzard IP that we could pathping (e.g. pingplotter). But i can’t find it anymore and it seems its been that service from Blizzard is not available anymore.
Anyone experiencing similar problems with D2R?
-disconnects (just from inside a game out to the lobby in D2R)
-character briefly blocked from logging in again
It will be hard to argue with my ISP about routing issues without a pathping. Any tips?
Cheers =)
Edit: forgot to mention, this also occurs when i leave some games and try to join a new one right after. Locks me out a good 30sec sometimes.
Same thing, for months now. I have to wait 30-60s EVERY time I leave or get D/C from a game. Usually when leaving as I do not D/C very often but it’s the same thing! I have gigabit internet from xfinity/comcast and have no issues with anything else or any other game in my household with 4+ devices. Ping tests are great. There’s literally zero other issues. My only thoughts is maybe this is some sort of packet/routing issue with some port forward I have set up for local host but I’ve even reset all those settings and even updated router firmware through the xfinity app. I’ve called them and tried to explain to them but they have no idea.
Blizzard really needs to get off their ass and look in to why this is happening, I can’t figure it out on my end. Every install on every computer I’ve tried over here does not work. All I can figure is that it’s an ISP related issue at this point but then where are the thousands of xfinity customers that should be playing on any devices? Lots of people and AI searches tell me the 30 second wait is normal while the server disconnects my character but talking to people in game they can leave a Cow or Trist run and instantly join the next one within mere seconds like normal for the past 20 years. So why me? Why now? Why is this happening? Blizzard send everyone you got at this issue the game is basically punishing us for playing because we can’t even do normal runs in multiplayer until this is fixed. The games fill up because we can’t join immediately and are just pushed to random other lobbies. It makes playing w/ friends, magic finding by creating new games, etc. all a huge pain in the ass.
If I want to host 500 baal runs I have to add an extra 500 minutes to my run times which is literally hours because of this arbitrary nonsense BS bugged out “character disconnecting improperly” issue or something. I dont even know what to call it because it’s similar to the issue they had back in 2021 and so almost all my searches are filled to the brim with people talking about back then. My game was working normally last year, this is a NEW problem that only happens when u are d/c or leave any game AS NORMALLY you would, and then you’re forced to wait for a blue text message that says you’ve left channel: game, and then you can connect to a new game, this FRIGGEN SUCKS!!!
