Its been like this ever since they updated the version checking.
Every now and then, a server uses the old revision. So just switch to another server

mmm i've tried all of them... still no luck... also tried using old revision... no luck i hope im not the only person having a problem lol i'll feel so retarded..

ALL CLIENT EFFECTED!!  EVEN DIABLO 2 !!

WTF, i'm ipbanned on all 4 realms now BNET changed checkrevision again, I bet they changed it so u can't padd the exe files and fix it anymore!  checkrevision changed on west!

Connecting with a proxy on west gives me,

[BNET] Version check failed!

Connecting with a proxy on east / europe / asia gives me,

[BNET] Check revision passed.

It won't be long until no bots can go on bnet anymore(!)

woot im not the only one, I can get on with padded sc hashes... but nothing else

perhaps somone should incorperate this into the commonly used dll's that everyone likes.

[BreW]

dun dun dun
:O can't hdx make a new padder? all it's checking for is the file size...

[Rob]

I will be working to incorporate my code into a standalone dll with a vb example.  Should be able to get around to doing this by thursday or so.

Man, I've been ip banned for 2 weeks, I got unip'ed just last night and when I connected I got a version check failed and got ip'ed again

Anyways, does anyone know why bnet is doing this, is it just to prevent bots?

Doubtful.  More likely to prevent cheating.

Well I've noticed a few things sofar:
It seems they changed the formatting of the value strings so people can no longer assume that it is A=# B=# C=# 4 A=A.S B=B.C C=C.A A=A.B
For Example:
C=1151438134 A=2788537374 B=2369803856 4 A=A-S B=B+C C=C^A A=A^B
This is easily rectified (and people should of had a contigency plan)
Also they are useing larger numbers, Diffrent File names of corse.
I am crap with ASM so I can't figure out what is diffrent between the diffrent vers.
Also, they are useing both IX86Ver.mpq and ver-IX86-.mpq
For all of them 0-7.
I'm home nopw so I'll see what I can see.

I have confirmed that MBNCSUtil is affected by this new set of updates.  I will release a new version as soon as I have one.
