whats rate limiting?

People using tools to do certain actions too fast get disconnected now. It shouldn't affect legitimate players.

can't you guys detect good enough yet to ban rather than just disconnect them?

They're not necessarily cheating - they're just doing too many requests and we can't sustain that for long (as it uses a lot of resources). As I said, we don't expect that legitimate players will be affected, but people who are kicked aren't necessarily doing anything bannable.

An example is if you get a big lag spike and certain actions arrive all at once. They might be the type of actions that now cause a disconnection.

The new disconnection code is only for actions that involve our backend infrastructure (such as inviting other players, sending global messages, etc). It won't affect normal gameplay. We can see when it happens and so far it has been okay.

The disconnections people are experiencing are a separate server issue that we're still working on.

Is there a time frame in where you expect a fix on this? Because at the moment I can't even connect anymore.

We're deploying some changes today, but I don't know if they affect the type of issue that you're having. We will get to the bottom of any issues though!

It will update automatically when you log in. There was no client update today (it was just a server change).
