This "will keep the population at the safe level we have at the time, so we can monitor where the system is straining and address it before it brings the game down completely." As these strains are fixed, the population caps will be increased. We can assure you this is just mitigation for now–we do not see this as a long-term fix," Blizzard added.ĭiablo 2: Resurrected is also getting login queues, in an effort to stop high numbers of players from logging in simultaneously. "this is not an indicator that game servers are down in this particular instance, it just means you have been rate limited to reduce load temporarily on the database, in the interest of keeping the game running.
This means that at some point when quickly creating and quitting games, during stuff like Pindleskin runs, you'll receive an error noting an issue communicating with the servers. As far as fixes go, Blizzard will start by implementing rate limiting.
The post linked above goes deeper into how the game's databases are split and how they save characters, which has to do with some players losing progress. These methods involve " lots of database load in the form of creating, loading, and destroying games in quick succession," which the developer did anticipate, but not to the current extent. When the original game launched, there was less knowledge about optimal farming spots or routes which, nowadays, is easily accessible through guides and content creators. We did optimize this service in many ways to conform to more modern technology, but as we previously mentioned, a lot of our issues stem from game creation." "Importantly, this service is a singleton, which means we can only run one instance of it in order to ensure all players are seeing the most up-to-date and correct game list at all times.
"This service, with some upgrades from the original, handles critical pieces of game functionality, namely game creation/joining, updating/reading/filtering game lists, verifying game server health, and reading characters from the database to ensure your character can participate in whatever it is you’re filtering for," the developer wrote on its website.
