Server can't handle semi-juiced maps

moderate packsize, random sextants (breach and strongboxes in the latest crash), abyss zana mod. i zoom through that with delirium and there's a high probability the server will crap out. i can clear most packs while running through the map to loot later so it's not like the instance needs to handle a thousand active monsters.

i've had several instance crashes just today. maybe buff your infrastructure before you add craptons of monsters and effects to your league mechanic, but they had to double down after blight. it sucks that you get rolled back and all drops are gone, but everything you put into the map device gets eaten including master missions.

an instance crash isn't the server not being able to handle it, the server is working just fine.

It's the program governing the instance that can't handle all the combinations of things, from the map mods, to the league mechanics to the masters, to the monster mods to your character/gear/passive/skills.
One or more times all of that has conflicted and cause a critical error on the instance program and caused it to close.

I've had no issues with legion or breach with my latest hardware but yesterday I put a couple orbs on a t5 tower and sext'd up the sector it was in and ... slide show.

One thing that might help I've found is if you do NOT do juiced map farming in a sector with an active conqueror influence. I think the combination of delirium critters spawning on-player and conqueror critters spawning on-player is just too much for the code.

This is even more true if you have leechers aboard for quant boostin!

Works on my computer and the computers of 9,999,999 other people on my friends list. The problem must be on your end. Just use a lootfilter. Try calling your ISP. Get a new computer. Get a new graphics card. Get an SSD. Get a faster connection. Play on predictive. Play on lockstep. Lower your graphics settings. The problem is 100% YOUR FAULT.

i know the difference between the software that handles the instance and the hardware that is their infastructure. with "server" i mean all the shit that is on their side and i don't care what exactly is failing. i hope the next patch that was posted today will help with these crashes. i like delirium and would like to play this to 40 again, but not with these crashes.

dawg you don't even have a character in the league

Same here, lost like 5ex worth of loot to these fucking crashes,the worst thing is you lose all portal and your loot get rolled back so i always have this uncomfortable feeling knowing i can lose all my loot at any time.
Imagine dropping a mirror then get crashed.
Dont look like ggg is aware of this problem though cause they are busy with that aura stacking drama.

Yesterday I tried to run the Surrender with cast when damage taken and vaal molten shell. The server really didn't like that combination in delirium maps.

ah, i dont think his computer is going to cause instance rollbacks, no matter how good or bad it is.

Diablo forgot his [sarcasm] tags, he has claimed 2 victims so far, only time will tell

You can borrow some of my sarcasm tags if you don't have any lying around
