Unable To Join Friend/Public Game

so which are the “main” IPs from this list? I noticed last night i got put in the backup server with very few games. I’ll just block the ones that have low population

North America
• 137.221.106.88
• 137.221.106.188

Europe
• 37.244.28.80
• 37.244.28.180

Asia
• 117.52.35.79
• 117.52.35.179

is 88 or 188 the main one

Games busted with this issue. Que, okay fine. But at least we can play with friends.

But now? Now that’s even an issue. Come on guys.

If you needed the extra time. You should have taken the extra time and released the game a month from now.

This is insanity.

Maybe you can spur your CS higherups to reach out to the engineering team that should interconnect the login servers or at least put out a public statement that they’re working on it?

Hello. Just to inform the game Devs - There is no difference if you are friend or not with the player you want to play. It depends on which server you are logged as your friend. Fix this because you are destroying the game. There was very few games before, there even less now! If this is what you wanted to do - you did it!

that is true torrid, we coudn;t join same game even if we weren;t in the friend list

I can confirm now that games are separated by server even on the same region.

Reproduce:

  • created a game on .188 server.
  • keep relaunching d2r until you get on the .88 server
  • You cannot find the game you made from the .188, you can even make the same game name on the .88 server

command to check the server you are connected to (from a post above) “netstat -anob | Select-String -Pattern D2R.exe -Context 1,0 | findstr :443 | findstr ESTABLISHED”

So any update. Info? Hello?

Im afraid this is not a “bug” but a intended modify for lighten the servers load…
It was come after the maintenance.

this will literally kill diablo 2 public games even more if this is the case

i feel like they didn’t take into consideration the 1000s upon 1000s of people who get game names from people outside of the lobby.

that is not an exaggeration, it is way better find games from other sources since the lobby hardly shows any games. also, you have more of a choice.

it’s how we join private chaos runs, trades, etc

there’s multiple discord servers with 15,000 people + and multiple forums with 1000s of users who all get games from others outside of the lobby

so many people will and are running into this issue and it is destroying public and private games more than the 1 minute cool down for trying to join a game that’s full or doesn’t exist is

Its not a bug, it was intentional to have two authentication servers, but they should be communicating, and they’re not, THATS where the issue lies… its obvious… they’re playing dumb, at least I hope they are, because if their network team couldnt figure that out on their own, and the community has, they all need to be replaced. EVERY last one of them.

Thanks, you literally told us nothing with that giant blue wall.

CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND - I PLAY HARDCODE. MUCH LESS PLAYERS ON HARDCORE. AND IF YOU SPLIT THE MUCH LESS PLAYERS YOU GET NOTHING! THIS IS INSANE! FIX IT IMMEDIATELY!
They absolety know what is going on and they know how to fix it. The question is do they want to fix it! This hapened like 30 days before again. But it was for 10-20 minutes. I played with a friend and he couldn’t join my game. That was because my game was updated and his was not or vice versa. I mean they know what is going on, they can fix it. But they maybe don’t want to. BLIZZARD FIX THIS! IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS F GAME FIX THIS! WE MUST PLAY NORMAL GAMES! I AM FURIOUS I CANT FIND ANY GAMES AT ALL. LITERALLY ALL PLAYERS WANT THIS TO BE FIXED. FRIENDS CAN’T PLAY!
I can stand the queues, I can stand the 1 minute wait even it’s too bad. But I can’t stand this! FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY ENOUGH OF OUR PATIENCE! YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX IT - YOU WAIT IF YOU SEE IF THIS GOES AGAIN! NO IT DOESN’T - FIX THIS - MAKE NORMAL GAMES AGAIN!
CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND - I PLAY HARDCODE. MUCH LESS PLAYERS ON HARDCORE. AND IF YOU SPLIT THE MUCH LESS PLAYERS YOU GET NOTHING! THIS IS INSANE! FIX IT IMMEDIATELY!

Cant you understand, THEY DONT CARE.

Lol not a jab at you dude, I understand your frustration… but, you will have to accept blizz does not care about its users.

i don’t think this is the issue we are talking about, this is an issue where the server is split, and players on the same server can’t even join a game together

last night, i was literally able to create a game with the same name as the game i was trying to join. on the same server

i know you are getting onslaughted with disrespectful replies and it must be difficult, but please, if you can, spread the word to the devs this is a horrible idea

i feel like the devs didn’t take into consideration the 1000s upon 1000s of people who get game names outside of the diablo 2 lobby

there are multiple trade discord servers with 15000+ (fifteen thousand, not fifteen hundred) players each. also other forum communities with thousands of players each.

all those players get game names outside of the lobbies. me included. this is how i noticed the issue

imagine all the people split on servers and now can’t even join private or public games with each other

Yeah verry saracstic, but ITS NOT FUN AT ALL!!!

this is one thing WE ALL need to complain about. this is even worse the the queues. this isn’t acceptable and needs to be fixed

They dont even document any fix or change in the patch notes. They fixed CM without a patch note and other changes as well

everyone should try this worked for me
open notepad

paste this into it

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
arp -d *
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

save as networkreset.bat or w/e u want and run as administrator :slight_smile:

Blizzard just add more region options to the Diablo II Resurrected Launcher for USwest and USeast
