Bad Packet From Server

LOCAL SOLUTION: DO A FULL REINSTALL OF THE GAME

_{I'm tired of a total server error: https://prnt.sc/u7gmv1}

_{Moreover, I have already tried reinstalling the game, disabling the brandmauer - zero effect.
I am attaching the screenshots of the console before disconnecting:}

Needs replication steps, otherwise we can't attempt to fix this.

Same thing happened twice this month. It was ok for ~20 minutes, then I crashed. Restarting the game and reconnecting gives you like a munite or two, of play time, then game crashes again, and this sutiation repeats itself until you get kicked from game coz max dc time has passed. Last game it happened is (159756400).

Kinda disappointing to lose double mmr and have increased leave percentage for this reason.

Until we get a replication procedure for what causes it, can't do much about it. You haven't mentioned if you think it was anything in particular that makes you crash either.

If you have a crash dump to share, that would be nice too.

I dont think the crash log was even created anywhere. And the console log got overwritten when I restarted the game. I can post the console log next time (if) the game crashes.

And I haven't done anything specific. It was either right click attack or right click move. Different heroes (grinex and deadwood).  No active items were used atm. The only hero both games had in common was Solstice, and I don't think they have used something specific too. Probably some cached status problem? Because I was playing fine for a pretty long time, but after the first crash and reconnect I have about 1-2 mins until next crash.

Нужны шаги репликации, иначе мы не сможем попытаться исправить это.

Напишите четкий алгоритм действий, которые мне нужно выполнить.

Например:

1. 
2.
3. 

Я не программист, а обычный пользователь, и мне нужны инструкции.

Write a clear algorithm of actions that I need to perform. 

For example: 

1. 
2.
3. 

I am not a programmer, but a regular user and I need instructions.

Thats exactly what they ask you to write here - steps to reproduce the issue. I'll duplicate that in Russian for you.

Тебя как раз и просят описать, что именно привело к ошибке, потому что они не могут её воспроизвести. Может, ты какую-то абилку прожал перед тем, как всё рухнуло, или что-то ещё.
Ещё им нужен репорт об краше игры, но у меня он в файлах вроде не создавался.

Thats the console log right after the crash happened (the second crash actually, when i already reconnected to the game and crashed again) .

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WHakoBqytOwuqNxgy2LvCBBvKONV_o6P

Basically this:

Error: [23:37:39] CHostClient::ReadServerPackets() - Invalid command received: 0x00
Error: [23:37:39] Unhandled exception - CHost::Execute() - CHost::Frame() - Bad packet from server
Error: [23:37:39] ****** Fatal Error:CHost::Execute() - CHost::Frame() - Bad packet from server****** 
Vid: [23:37:39] Direct3D shutting down...

I'm pretty sure I was just moving on the map when crash happened; no heroes corresponding to the last 2 cases of crash. Thats the screenshot of game's setup (heroes+items) after the first crash.

Out of curiosity, what region are you queuing in & what is the name of the server did you play in (you can /gi to find out)

Edited September 8, 2020 by ElementUser

[DaNNteSparda 2]

Queueing EU only.

You actually were right with your last question. I've checked 3 games where I crashed like this, and all of those games were on "EU203" server.

@ElementUser

[ElementUser 478]

I got 1 report on the forums for it happening today & EU203 has not been up for the last few days. I highly doubt it's that.

 

We really need some kind of consistent in-game action that occurs somewhere on the map to actually diagnose this further - it's practically impossible to debug this because the bug is so cryptic in nature.

It happened to me last night around 10 PM EST; USE only. Twice in a single FoC game (playing as Accursed), once in a MW game (playing as Qi), once in a MW game as soon as picking started. I don't think it has to do with the heroes selected based on it happening right after banning ended.

Couldn't find the crash log before the timer to Reconnect would expire. I have been unable to replicate it.

[Hubaris 102]

Bumping this with some further information.

After a Bad Packet Crash, the first reconnect into a game  seems to (usually) give a "No Response From Server" and the game sends you back to the main screen.

Then I get the following after:

Going to try to reinstall and see if it helps.

I had a console log but realized it was the wrong part of the log. I'll edit it in right away after the next crash.

Reinstall seemed to have fixed it.

Edited September 28, 2020 by Hubaris

[ElementUser 478]

I suggest those who get this error to do a full reinstall.

[DaNNteSparda 2]

I got same crashes 3 games in a row yesterday.

I'll tell you if full reinstall helps.

This is next-to-impossible to debug by the way, which is why we need a definitive set of replication steps. Like say X hero is on a team & they do Y action while you have sight of them, etc.

I don't think you can replicate it as it can happen in picking as well. I don't think it totally has to do with things happening ingame.

Good game , but not comfortable play if ejecktable from game 

[DaNNteSparda 2]

Problem still stands, even after full game reinstall (I deleted both game forlder and my documents HoN folder before game installation).

Today's case was about the same as previous ones, but 2 days ago that crash appeared during first 3 seconds of pick phase, so it doesn't really depend much on "whats happening" in game.

Unfortunately I also have this error and it's impossible to play with it. I have hon installed on two computers but the error appears only at one of them and reinstall didn't help at all. The error appears only on caldavar multiplayer map. Bot match and midwars are fine.
