Changing characters without exiting server hangs game and machine

<< < (2/2)

webwalker:
Crash/Hang problem 1: Upon starting D2LOD/CE, just before the point where the screen goes black and resolutions change, the system hangs.  The hang is hard, the reset button is the only cure.  Frequence: 2 out of 3 times I start D2LOD/CE from a boot-up of the machine.

Test 1: De-activate mod, start D2LOD/1.11b, exit, activate mod, start D2LOD/CE.
Result: 6 times in a row, no hangs.

Crash/hang problem 2: with a game running, try to switch characters.  This results in a hang that is usually so bad the reset button is necessary, but 1/10 crashes the game minimizes and shows Unhandled Exception c0000005.
Test 1: When exiting game, also exit from battle.net, log back in, select new character, and join game.
Result: 20 tests, no hangs.

So, muling can still be done, but it's a bit slower and a bit more bothersome.

thanks brian

for test one, please check your graphic settings
do you use directx direct3d or glide-emulation
try to switch to another one

for second, if crashed try alt-tab, this should show you always the crashed c0005 window, so you dont need to reboot

I've tried all, with hang-on-start in all cases (not every time, but enough to really annoy), unless I start D2LOD/Blizzard first.

Tried, almost always this doesn't work.
