| Skywing | It's another status code that isn't ever used in the wild (Diablo II refers to this as downgrade required). | January 1, 2004, 8:52 PM |
| Arta | I wonder what would make the server decide to send it... when would you ever need to reinstall as opposed to just applying another patch? Patches don't enforce an earlier version, the updater will quite happily apply an old patch to a current version, so hmmm... | January 1, 2004, 9:04 PM |

Because the patching system can already handle reverting to older versions (automatically), it's even more unlikely that this would ever be used. | January 1, 2004, 9:07 PM |
| UserLoser. | Hmm, I do remember one time where my brother downloaded a patch on D2, and was forced to reinstall the game | January 1, 2004, 9:16 PM |

However, the server simply reported a failed version check. The time window for getting the bad v1.09d was fairly small (<1hour I believe). | January 1, 2004, 9:26 PM |

| Myndfyr | If there was a connection mechanism to connect the D2 1.10 beta to Battle.net (there wasn't one provided in the user interface, but one may have been able to try to hack it), I presume something like this would have surfaced, as well. | January 8, 2004, 1:54 AM |
