"Your Connection has been Interrupted"

[Chaostheory]

This occurs in 1.11B but has been around at least since 1.10, and I've only observed it on battle.net realms.

Many people seem to have trouble getting kicked out of their game after a period of time, after which they aren't able to rejoin any game (including their own) or make new games. I've had this happen a number of times and have noticed a pattern, though I don't know how to prevent it.

I have figured out a way to deal with the message "FAILED TO JOIN GAME".
When u get the message:
1) change char
2) join a game (don't make one yourself)
3) exit the game and change to the char which got the message
4) join the same game that u entered with the another char (i sugggest that u type the game name in the box given)
5) Vóila, you can enter games again

(Althought it doesn't seem to work always and there is no proof that this works)

Portals are one of points in the game where the character state gets saved. Portals include the Town Portal and various map entrances, such as to a cave, crypt, or temple, or even an adjacent map. I suspect portals are linked to the problem, but I don't know if they are the cause.

Typical Case:

I play in a game for an hour or two, doing full clears and any quests that happen by. Suddenly the action freezes, but I'm still able to run around; I just can't leave the current map or active area. The action may resume after a noticeable delay, upon which all returns to "normal", but inevitably the delay will occur again. The end result, sooner or later, is that I time out and see the dreaded Connection message. Boom, I'm back in a channel.

Note that this pause is not like the lag spikes I sometimes get where the server keeps going but the client falls behind. With these pauses, everything is stopped. (I can move my character as mentioned previously, but he/she can't leave the active area and can't interact with anything.)

I try to re-join my game, but I am informed that it no longer exists. When I try to re-create the game with the same name, I am informed that a game with that name already exists. I try to create a game with a new name and end up looking at a static loading screen for about a minute, and than am greeted with "Failed to Load". No kidding. I get the same treatment if I try to join someone else's game. After about 10-15 (or maybe 30) minutes, it seems to clear up and I can create or join games again.

I've had this scenario play out countless times, and it always seems to occur after taking a portal. I can stand in one area for hours without losing the game, so long as I'm doing something once in awhile. But if I take a portal, sooner or later things go awry. It's like there's a misfire somewhere and the server fails to set a flag or something, and the game ends up shutting down without my knowing it.

Last night I tried to leave the game as soon as the first "pause" hit, thinking maybe the game wouldn't time out if I left it. Wrong. All I did was quicken my inevitable journey back to the channel. The game, it seems, was already on death row. Did leaving the game early save me from not being able to join/create games? No. Same old routine.

This "connnection failure" seems to be different for everybody (I mean how often it happens to everybody)
For myself, I have had very few errors since patch 1.11 came, only two or three...
But one of my friend in Diablo seems to have these problems almost every half-a-hour. Strange huh? :unsure:
