1.11 oddities

two odd things I've noticed about 1.11...


1) Games never drop for me due to inactivity. I've left mules sitting
there in act one normal for 6+ hours without doing any "tricks" to fool
the game that activity is on-going.


2) If I let the end of act movie play to the end, I consistently get an
Interreupted Connection. Trying to rejoin the game, I get a "Game Does
Not Exist" message.

Funny you mention them, because I've noticed both too.

Yup, happened to me a few times, but due to the (in)stability of B-Net, I
suppose 'mule parking' games are still useful.

For the first time in ages I watched one of those movies again a few days
ago, and indeed, when it finished, I was back in the Join/Create game
screen. I could however rejoin the game I just played in; perhaps you
experienced a combination of a B-Net server crashing and the
'drop-out-of-game-when-playing-a-movie' bugs?
