Re: Iris?

There is no Iris character in CSB.

There are two champions "hidden" behind illusionary walls in the Prison:

There is a "secret" character in the saved game on the utility disk: http://dmweb.free.fr/games/chaos-strikes ...

Re: Site is very slow recently

I hacked phpbb code yesterday to prevent anonymous users (guests) from creating sessions. As a side effect the number of guests visible at the bottom of the home page stays at 0.
The forum is still bombarded with requests, but now the performance remains acceptable.
We'll see how it goes in the next ...

Re: Site is very slow recently

Tens of guests are connecting each second continuously, which fills up the sessions table in the database and slows down all forum pages.

I purged that ...

I assumed an issue at the host provider and was hoping that it would fix itself. I'll see what I can do.

There is a search feature to locate anything in the dungeon. CSBuild was made for Chaos Strikes Back, so the item names in the search menu are the CSB ones, not the DM ones. In ...
