Diablo II + Expansion LOD will crash in single player mode within 1 min of starting the game. This only happens after I patch it past 1.7. The expansion brings the game to vers 1.7.
System Specs:
AMD 6400+ 3.2 duel core
2 gigs ram
BFG Feforce 8800 GTX OC
Plextor DVD-r drive
XP sp2
What I've Tried:
I dug through the net all day looking for similar issues. The only thing I could find was a CTD with an error code that other people were getting, mine of course is different in the fact that it just reboots my PC. I followed all steps except for reformatting.
I've...
run scandisk
run defrag
run virus scanner
run spyware scanner (2 different programs)
run registry scanner (3 different programs)
switched out the 8800 GTX for a Radeon 1900 XTX to check for driver issues
switched the video settings on both video cards for 2-d and 3-d
double checked sound driver
double checked video card drivers
installed/reinstalled Diablo II and expansion around 10 times
installed patches from battlenet and downloaded the stand alone patches
The latest patch is 1.12a and I've tried that quite a bit. I just can't figure out why this isn't running. The only other thing I can think of is to reformat but I would rather not. It's just a huge pain.
There doesn't seem to be an issue with not patching it, or playing online patched but I want to play offline and that is were the problem is or seems to be. I'm at a complete loss... I just cannot figure this out.
