![]() "In 2001, there wasn’t nearly as much content on the internet around how to play Diablo 2 'correctly' (Baal runs for XP, Pindleskin/Ancient Sewers/etc for magic find, etc)," PezRadar said. One "legacy service" in particular handles critical functions including "game creation/joining, updating/reading/filtering game lists, verifying game server health, and reading characters from the database." It was upgraded and optimized for Diablo 2: Resurrected but is still rooted in 20-year-old tech, and it's having a difficult time keeping up with "modern player behavior." Ironically, it seems that Blizzard's desire to maintain an authentic Diablo 2 experience in the remaster is a chief cause of all these headaches. "We reached out to our third-party partners for assistance as well," PezRadar said. The situation is dire enough that the Diablo 2: Resurrected team has roped in engineers from other parts of Blizzard to help fix smaller problems while it concentrates on "core server issues." That issue was fixed on Tuesday, but another high concurrent player count that same day resulted in further "degraded database performance," which database engineers are still working to fix.
