I have some pairs but I will not try this.

It looks like the crash has something to do with the base defense value of the next item type when upgraded with the recipe? If I remember correctly every armor type items (gloves,boots,belt,armor,helm) that spawns after the upgrade recipe was introduce will have a pre-determined base defense value for the next item type on spawn - stored inside the item data. Items that spawn before the patch probably has a value of 4294967295 or FF FF FF FF for the upgraded defense base value.



The exceptional or elite type of the old item shouldn't be an issue

Man I swore diablo 2 was all angry little 12 year olds when I used to play HOW HAVE THEY NOT GROWN UP YET.....

Some of those 12yr olds, the ones who could chisel out a healthy balance between gaming and real life, now have children of their own who are playing d2.

I lost a pair of prelods couple years ago and havent dared to upg any of em since. And people "in the know" knew this, thus why they prefered buying prelods alrdy upgraded to 95-118str (desynch str buggable).

So question is, WHEN did it stop working upgrading prelods/prepatch boots (rares?) And why (how)? I suspect it would likely be related to when they patched ith/hybrid method right

Also, what was the rationale of having the item poof? Or was that simply a result from 50% rollback on server amd 50% simple crash w/o rollback and item invalid thus poof?


Sauce?

no idea you are looking for some specifics here and am clueless about deep stuff you better ask

about hybrid/ith relation : i think this has no relation because in theory you can still turn a runeword into an ith in 2021 assuming you got a runeword stored in your trade-buffer still .
blizzard has only patched the public method that allowed you to store an item in that buffer + accessing it ( removing the trade-interaction-flag on one players side while keeping the trade-state active for the other
trader allowed you to do this ) . and ith-runewords got their own scanner people call it the "ith-scanner" which is running on load when player joins a game for more than a decade looking for ith-runewords and deleting them . ith-scanner and bugged-item-scanner
are two different things , the ith-scanner has never caused a server to crash - unlike the bugged-item-scanner as we can see here in this topic

zetsubl, you know too much. There are forces out there which will find you. Balance must be maintained.

Reroll or upgrade prepatch boots
