Title: Error accessing BNet
Post by: Porthos on September 29, 2011, 12:59:00 am
Hey everyone,

I'm having a lot of problems accessing BNet (Open and Closed). Every time I click on BNet with CE Realm selected, the game crashes and I get an Unhandled  Exception: Access_Violation (c0000005).

It's a fresh D2+LOD install (using Admin rights) as well as a fresh CE install with the 769_incl_772c version.

any help would be appreciated!

thanks in advance

Porthos

Things we've tried:

- Running as admin
- Compatibility mode XP SP2 and XP SP3
- Reinstalling to a different folder
- Install from discs vs install from downloaded version (1.13)
- Direct2D
- Windowed Mode
- Manually deleting the registry files

None of it worked, the only difference between his config and mine is that he's on Vista and I'm on Windows 7. We have another friend who's on XP and it also works fine.

Thanks for helping him out!

Vista/Win 7 should work in same way

Different graphic boards/driver versions?

Did you tried OpenGL(3dfx),Direct3D and 2D modes?
window mode means -w switch?

I remember that UAC should be disabled, different install folder than the default one

but if i read correctly, the game itself incl CE runs in local mode perfect?
have you tried to copy all mpq files from disc to hdd?

We have the same graphic card (460gtx).

I tried Direct3D and 2D modes both options that the videotest offers.

yes windowed mode is with the -w switch

I tried installing to 3 different folders (C:\Program Files\DiabloII; C:\DiabloII; C:\Games\DiabloII)

Currently D2 works in both Single Player and BNet and CE works in Single Player mode without any problems.

I'll have to check for the UAC, as well as copying the MPQ files.

I know i have an older PC with Win XP, I'll probably dust that one off and install CE onto it see if that works!

Hiho, looks like a win 7 problem.

I got the same error message sometimes. After som reboots without doing anything, it works fine, and sometimes i got this errormessage.

So sorry i cant help, but it seems its a win7 problem.
