Solved Game crash

I know from the other thread that you've been doing various tests with your maphack loot filter so that could be as well the crash reason as this is a maphack related error. Do you use the integrated or the stand-alone version of the Sting maphack? Are you running the game in full-screen mode or any other video modes such as glide, ddraw, etc? Try running the game in window mode and re-download a default loot filter of the maphack (make a backup of your current loot filter first, the file you need to save is d2hackmap.cfg). Did any of this happen before you started modifying the maphack configurations?

 

Could be that the reinstallation did that for you too @sphinx25, as in general the standalone version is more prone to throw an error. Then again, maphack errors can be a lottery for those who have them and the OS as well as the installed software has a lot to do with it, which isn't a surprise considering it's a very old 3rd party hack after all.

@Alex_1987, follow the rest of my post as well and run the game in plain default window mode with a default loot filter and if that doesn't work then a clean reinstallation is always recommended following these http://forum.europebattle.net/threads/common-game-errors-and-fixes.532466/#post-881523 steps. Also, since you've said you mostly want the reveal map feature to work, you could also give BH maphack a try first. It is more modern, stable and it may suit you better considering you don't necessarily want a loot filter and you have an in-game UI menu where you can enable/disable most of its features.

 

How about we first troubleshoot this and find where the problem is and for that I need you to read the posts in full and follow the instructions as well as answering to some of the questions I've asked. Afterward, we can adjust.

PS: Those threads have a solution but you haven't mentioned if you are using similar settings and other extra tools such as glide wrapper as well or not.

 

@Alex_1987, we highly recommended running DDraw over Glide Wrapper considering 3dfx is quite old and less friendly on its own or in combination with other 3rd party tools and newer operating systems, not to mention it is not even being actively developed any more unlike DDraw.
As for the ddraw graphics, you can try out different shaders and use this thread as a reference http://forum.europebattle.net/threads/launcher-options-ddraw-opengl-shaders.546681/ or you can simply disable shaders altogether and use a different renderer, press the cog/gear icon next to -ddraw and adjust the settings to your personal preference.

Glad to hear that, @Alex_1987. While for most people glide 3dfx will work just fine, stability issues are possible in some cases and even more when using multiple 3rd party tools besides, glide has been outdated for quite some time now and ddraw is far superior these days and it's being actively developed to this day too. Enjoy the game! Marking the thread as solved.
