You wrote earlier, that you didnt want to have too many unused servers open - and this would double the server number. But since you already have an option to add more servers, when the current ones are used, maybe the harcore servers can just be hosted whenever a hardcore character is in the open net lobby. But thats just an uneducated idea,. That option is still work in progess, to be more precise ;) But thanks for the idea, I think the server startup itself is pretty fast, so that might be an interesting idea to consider/test, too. For those suicidal (or invincible?) of you, cm patched servers now have additional variants running in HC mode (free/campagin), plus one of each difficulty in free HC mode for vanilla. For now, these 15 servers more in total should be fine in terms of ressources.

Popular Post ameaeth 50 Posted August 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Hi @xrystal we observed an anomaly on the serves. When we finished coop silver light campaign with cmp160 on the servers and changed to gold afterwards or any other server besides going back to silver campaign cmp160, all enemies remained stationary and we were only able to damage them once before they did not receive any further damage. When one of us left the game, enemies started moving but were still invulnerable. Best regards p.s. Leaving and rejoining the servers and restarting the game did not help.

Popular Post xrystal 59 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Hi @ameaeth, thank you very much for reporting this super-weird bug, which I would never have noticed because every few days I just login and join a server to see if they are still reachable, but didn't actually played recently which would have reaveled something like that to me. I was able to reproduce it just as you said, but have no idea what might have caused it as nothing special happened on the server side in the meanwhile. The servers have been running for a pretty long time, maybe I should schedule a restart once every month or something. The lobby has some minor hickups every few weeks, but usually recovers automatically in a few minutes without me needing to do anything. The servers always register to the lobby again each time it restarts but dont need to be restarted themselves which means they have been up for a few months already, maybe they were not intended for such a long lifespan... ;) Anyway, like always with complicated issues - a simple reboot solves them all (at least for quite a while). All servers are up and running and should provide the hostile ancarian environment again you all are used to and love to mow down Edited August 14, 2020 by xrystal 2 Link to comment
Ellie 5 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 hey there. I get a CTD if I try to conect to the EEserver (bronce free). I have the same version. I can host a game by myself but if a friend try to join he gets error 61. Link to comment
xrystal 59 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi @Ellie, sorry for my late reply, I didn't noticed your post earlier: I am not sure about the EEserver, but could reproduce the issue on another game mode and just restarted the whole stack of servers and lobby which seems to solve it for me. For your other issue: Error 61 means your server is not accessible by the outside world, which usually means the ports used by your server are not accessible over the internet. 1 Link to comment
Ellie 5 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Thank you, sounds great. We check in out later. The Error 61 is definitely our router. It was a old one that blocks us even if we open all ports. We had this issue with so many Games. We bought a new one and now we are good. Link to comment

r00ster 1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Hey all, long time ;) This is amazing. Thank you. Going to even bring out the old-timers like me for this ha. I initially connected to the eu.sacred2.net lobby, as my old install was still looking there. So I've switched it back to the us.sacred2.net with port 6900. My old characters, all seem to be able to connect fine, I was able to make a game just fine, everything, the works, using the CM patch 1.60. I would add those servers/ports to the main post, they were somewhere around page 4-5. It made me laugh, nostalgia from back then, had to switch between the two lobbies, and Ascaron's test servers. Does it matter all the servers say EU/DE? Are we all on one lobby however we connect? Whichever domain used? I didn't see any 'US' server names, just unsure. It was pretty wild reading this thread, I gotta say. Unbelievable. You folks truly are the best, and have my sincerest gratitude. Of course, you know what this means Gogo; Going to have to round everyone up. I'm sure we've all some catching up to do. Thank you very much. Edited September 20, 2020 by r00ster Link to comment

Whichever domain used? I didn't see any 'US' server names, just unsure. [...] Hi @r00ster, yes, all old lobby addresses known to me redirect now to the same, globally shared lobby. Everyone installing a fresh copy of sacred2 should afaik get an address like *.sacred2.net for his default confiugration and thus should find this one without further doing. Therefore, server ports and lobby addresses are not mentioned in the opening post anymore, I did not want to make it looking more complicated than it currently is, just scares away people So you had the test servers as your lobby defined previously? May I ask, which address they are? I did not even knew those The location of the lobby does not matter technically. For the servers however, from your location for example latency while playing of course might be a bit worse, the current EU servers are all hosted in germany. Makes hammering the spacebar in tense boss fights occasinally even more of a duty for you... But if someone in the US or another popular location not covered has a server with a bit computing power unused laying arround and wants to provide a few servers from there, I would gladly help setting them up. Right now the majority of servers run inside docker containers on the same linux server which also provides the lobby. A few are running separated on a second server I use for testing and beeing able to confirm myself, that it is actually possible to connect servers from outside to it whenever someone has issues with that (according to the server logs and also a bit discussion here and there with some people, hosting their own servers at home seems to be a bit too involved in general, because of port redirects and NAT and whatever complicates the network at home ;)), but that one is also located in germany. 1 Link to comment

Dang rooster! good to see you back!! yes the nostalgia is insane sometimes when looking over these game scenes... I was watching Clan Overlooks new Sacred Underworld Reborn HD Mod complete HD redesign...and when the player is going through the desert...that terrific and eerie wind whistling noise is just so nostalgia-pang inducing!.. Its insane how all the guys on this thread have gotten MP back working for this game... Wizards!! gogo Link to comment

Did you still need me to restore the old closed net multiplayer buttons that were removed in the CM Patch? I am working on updates to Enhanced Edition and Diablo 2 Fallen now and it is no trouble to restore the menus to how they were in the last official patch. Link to comment

Oh hey @Flix, thanks for remembering my request , yes, if it is really no big trouble for you, it would be great if you could do that as it will ease the access to the multiplayer lobby for players using these mods. At least for the Enhanced Edition I have servers running there (which I of course would need to update as soon as your updated mod releases ;)). D2F I have currently not hosted, but since that might change or someone could just host these themself via the same lobby, it would probably be nice to use this opportunity to restore the button there, too.

NegativeOne 16 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Do it need the closed net button? Only open net works with the lobby. Link to comment

It would be the same with coop (or? honstely I never checked :)), but having the buttons might in my opinion still be a good idea: As you see with for example the not anymore updated community patch, it might be difficult to get the buttons back into the game later on. In the case anything about the situation changes in the distant future, like it did with the OpenNet, it might pass a long time again until someone could add another button to specific modifications. I think it's a bit of a trade of, to keep options which may be useful at some point of the cost of beeing useless right now. But since vanilla has those buttons anyway, at least everybody would have the same interface again... ;) Link to comment

Ugluk Hello ugluk, I'm not sure how many players you might find for such a specific mode - as far as I remember, it was not even popular back in the days (or maybe it was just me who was constantly too scared to enter pvp servers =))-, but since there is still processing power to spare, sure why not...

And is your operating system Windows or Linux? I think I will not be able to explain that understandable through a translator, but I could try to record a small video to show you how if I know what exactly you want. Привет GhostTula, для ясности, вы хотите разместить игровой сервер в своей системе или целое лобби? А у вас операционная система Windows или Linux? Думаю, я не смогу объяснить это понятно через переводчика, но я мог бы попытаться записать небольшое видео, чтобы показать вам, как, если я знаю, что именно вы хотите. 3 Link to comment
