PTR v2.6.1.48432 is up

[Buzzy62]

Just to some of the multiplayer features and communications stuff being worked on/tested. Maybe KJ can put out a PTR version in record time since there's supposedly no changes to the game or gear!! -hint--hint-

There's no point in updating TH for the PTR if there are no changes whatsoever. They're just using the player base as a free QA team this time.

[Buzzy62]

That's my POINT. There is no updating to be done, just a release version change (cosmetic). Should be the easiest "update" ever!

and the least important too

Please do not have a preconception about the complexity of an update based on its changelog. It'll be better for all of us

PTR version is the same as LIVE, so I am not sure whats happening here. Are there any changes at all? Do you have any official source of this PTR?

they want to test server sided stability and performance optimizations

Since the builds are identical, it's more of a hopeful feeling than a preconceived one. Mostly, it was just to inform you that the PTR was actually UP. I'll leave it at that.

it is the same. you just have to disable ptr flag vs build target checking and it works

Gonna go ahead and just ask as I try to figure it out for myself.. How would one go about doing this, or could you at least give me the filename or command I'd need to change? Thanks in aDvance,, sorry my barb rippd due to lag and I still got him on PTR = P wanted to see what I could do

PTR build number changed to 2.6.1.49177 today (live server build is 2.6.1.48432).

[Eusta]

Latest Enigma seems not working on 2.6.1.49177 and KJ is busy with something else, so we probably need to refresh how to play without thud before the new season starts.

[Buzzy62]

PTR has NEVER been working with TH this season. It was never turned on (just had to remove the PTR flag) and no testing has been done on it. With KJ out of the picture for a month, I hope that there aren't any changes and the current version still works.

[Eusta]

I didn't say TH is not working, it was about Enigma. So, i'd join your prayers but looks like the are already changes with those TH (64 bit, 32 bit?) won't work.

UPDATE: just tried latest BETA versions TH i have (those versions from before KJ implemented LIVE/PTR checking):

TurboHUD 17.11.7.0 (v7.5) BETA for Diablo III 2.6.1.47710 (64 bit) works on LIVE, "Can't read diablo 3 memory" on PTR
TurboHUD 17.11.7.0 (v7.5) BETA for Diablo III 2.6.1.47710 (32 bit) doesn't work on the both LIVE and PTR.

i hear there are new anti memory reading /debugging methods in latest ptr build. this would mean no 3rd party tool will work on next update.
