My PVM bowazon game crasher

[yuli]

Can't use multi in a pvm game
Can't use strafe in a pvm game
Can't use my torch

Why do I even bother playing my ama or keep my account alive?

Your connection has been interupted. :thumbup:

[deadbeater]

Don't use stafe/multi and torch at the same time then. It is not as if the zon needs it for those builds. Granted the Blizzards should have used a spell other than Firestorm for Inferno torch, like, say, Inferno or Wake of Inferno, but still.

I don't wear a torch, I have it stashed as a token of bad luck.

But in chaos or baal runs it’s my multi or strafe that crashes the game because my party does wear it.

My pure max dmg bowa needs ms or strafe other skills are pretty useless.

The flaw of diablo 2 is its own speed, the actions needed for calculation & processing are followed up to close over numerous clients resulting in unpredictable crashes.
It’s probably not even a bug if we could have a look at the source but a overload of instructions that it can’t handle or maybe a timing issue where multiple instructions are offered at the exact same time.

Its kinda funny really, I play 3 characters pvm and they all crash the games:

1. My javazon with lightning fury, standard comment from fellow players "wtf no lightning fury NUUB!"

2. Multishot amazon, standard comment from fellow players "wtf no multi NUUB!"

3. Summoner with 17 skellies/17 mages/golem/merc/28 revives, standard comment from fellow players "wtf no summons necro NUUB!"

javazon crashed about 25% of the Baal runs, multishooter (with torch and 7 frames multi) about 50% and summoner about 50% too. But wtf I dont really play for exp but just to have fun mainly so I can live with the disconnects.

@Perfect Hatred
Exactly! I feel bad when I crash the game because I crash others too so it feels like it’s my fault.
When it happens I quit the game for the day

[self promotion]I made this a while ago, fired her up yesterday again and tested some public baalruns with torch and no problems.[/self promotion]

EDIT; and what Kijya said :girly:

[Kijya]

I can spam those skills quite a lot without getting a CI ... with torch on. It just depends on what other players are doing in the game. The company of a hdin is fine since it doesn't cause much lag, while another high level zon is sure kill in general.

[deadbeater]

Source of overload is multiple firestorms triggered. Strange, it could handle multiple meteors.

Necros with 10 or more summonses are being jerks.

Is this really such a common problem? I've used torches with strafe lots of times with no log or crashes are disconnects.

And why is more than 10 summons that bad? I've had 70+ summons on the screen at once, no lag, more than 30 fps, and certainly no game crashes. I usually play with more than 20 at time, again with no issues.

If you play on europe I will be happy to show you what I mean... (though the other runners will not be happy) and yes, it IS that bad.
Full baalruns will drop just about every time (Using Ice bow is probably not helping me either :whistling:)

[yuli]

Like MuffinMan, I play on Europe. I thought it was a problem in general but it looks like it's a Europe gateway issue.

A full 8 player game is when the disconnect problem occurs alot (players packed on screen). When doing a chaos run with a full party I try to go a different direction.

I have enough recourses so I will make me a Ice bow killer but this will not solve the torch bug.

No by all means, what I meant was that my Ice bow probably makes it worse.
But I even without it I get disconnects every now and then (using Buriza/no Torch for baalruns now :doh:)

Edit: Did 10+ baalruns with her solo last night with all goodies on, didn't suffer from a single disconnect...

[0blique]

Ok, I play on east, maybe that's why...

Best fix would be a time delay on ctc, say 1 second.

[Crying Freeman]

Or just get rid of the CTC, it´s not like it has huge damage anyway, I wouldn´t mind seeing it gone.

(Just as a side note, if you use some other means to get the Pandemonium event in Single player and stash the torch in ATMA, the CTC is called "CTC LV 10 Game is Full", I wonder if there´s any co-relation?)

Don't think so. No need for a full game, 5-6 players and I should be able to drop the game everytime.
