Topic: Duplicate Characters

Usually when you create a character with a name already in use it gives you an error saying the name is taken. And for the most part that usually works. But in the 4+ years ive been running my server, at least 4 different times someone was able to register a name that already existed. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there are any clues as to what could be the cause and how to fix it.

Both accs had the charinfo file, each different. But only one charsave file exists. Both accounts are able to use it.

edit: ok it seems both players created the character in the main menu but did not enter a game server with it. Basically just both creating it to save the name for later use and then they both wanted to play that name in the new season. So my guess now is that when u create a character in the main menu, it only creates the charinfo file and leaves the charsave empty but the Name checker checks charsave probably. At least thats my current theory but im not sure 100% sure on everything yet. Would still appreciate any info u guys have.

Re: Duplicate Characters

As far as I remember it is possible to have a few charinfo (on different accounts) with this same name,  but all use this same charsave, so if someone enter game second person is not able to join game.

How to do that:
Simple few step:
1. Create character on first acc and enter game.
2. Login second time to this same acc and delete this char. (if multilogin is disabled, it wont work)
3. Login another acc and create char with this same name and enter game.
4. Leave game from step 1. Server will save charinfo while you leaving game.
5. Leave game from step 3.
6. You have access to one charsave from two different account.

Re: Duplicate Characters

Yea but in this case it was two different people making the same name on their own respective accs. So it was unintentional. Also I am looking for a way to avoid this. Does pvpgn look at charsave for name? If so, then maybe it needs to check all charinfo's instead.
