I just recieved the BNCS packet 0x0F in this sequence when attempting to logon to Battle.net with W3XP.

[00:56:22] BNCS Sent 0x50
[00:56:22] BNCS Sent 0x25

Message data: ˜Kæ{ÿPã

What does this mean? Has anyone else ever seen this?

I've had stuff like that happen, where I'd receive a chat event in the middle of logging on.

How often does this occur?

When you say "in the middle of logging on", can you be more precise? Do you have a log of the whole session? Which messages occured before and after this one?

That SID_CHATEVENT looks malformed. There seems to be a valid SID_PING and the start of a SID_AUTH_INFO half way through it. Are you sure you don't have a bug in your netcode? If not, perhaps Battle.net does.

I have never seen such occurances, and have not heard suggestions of such from ... reputable ... people. I would try going through your netcode and verifying that there's absolutely no way in hell that that packet is partly old data.

Also, a packetlog that was generated by a third party packetlogger would be a lot more convincing.

I had gotten back 0x51 and I randomly got a good chat event; then, I disconnected and got IPBanned.

It happened a while ago, I don't have anything on it anymore. :/

Deception, can you continue logging in succesfully after this?

Did you just reconnect?  Looks possible that you received part of a message, then since SID_PING is the first message you received, your data handler is concatenating the halfway received message and he ping message (which it shouldn't).

Edit: typo
