Solved Old issue continues

Hello,

so what I mentioned before when I added the new launcher and all still persist. The issue is the following:

- massive delay when trying to alt+tab between windows;
- random black screens around the d2 window, but the game runs fine, having to CTRL+ALT+DEL in order to remove it;
- window remains showing when closing the game and completely crashes the windows, having to force shut-down.

I've tried to google that, but I actually cannot explain it to google for it to know what am I looking for. It is really weird, because I play heavier games than Diablo and I have no issues with them and I didn't have any issues last season, cuz I was playing fine with 8 games at the same time. I thought maybe a clean install might fix it, but it still persists and I've no idea where the issue is. Is it because I used to be on Windows 7 and now it has some issues with Windows 10, don't know.

If anyone has experience anything like that, please share. Thanks.

 

Hiya,

well this is what I get when I do the d2vidtst. The options to choose from and for some reason an error. Could that be related?

P.S. Might need to open the 2nd image in a new tab as for some reason it looks blurry at first sight.

 

Yes, I've always played on window mode, since running full-screen on 24" monitor for such an old game looks a bit weird when it comes to the graphics ;D but I found this http://forum.europebattle.net/threads/glide-wrapper-error.546164/ added the sound pack, created a game, logged additional account into it and tried alt+tab, which worked, then tried closing the windows, which also worked, so I guess I'll monitor the situation if that actually fixed the issue or not

Never mind, that only worked for a brief moment. You can lock this one up I'll figure something out.
Updating the graphics drivers did not help at all. As I mentioned in the previous topic when it comes to compatibility mode I only have Windows Vista for the Launcher, but Gix mentioned that I don't need to touch that one as long as the game.exe is set up.

Now.. can the fact that I have D2 Resurrected installed on my PC present as an issue? I kinda remember something in the past where 2 versions of Diablo were creating an issue with one another, but I'm not sure if that was true or not.

So what I finally did was setting up the glider, making a shortcut of game.exe and adding -w -3dfx -skiptobnet to it, so far I've played a few hours without a single issue. Basically I'm skipping using the launcher for the time being. Well not really a single issue, I get an error here and there, but it's nothing I can't deal with.

 

I remember that I had a similar experience, possibly the same exact error, when the new patch was released, in Dec 2021. Following @Gix 's advice, I reinstalled everything "by the book" and had no headache ever since. Strongly recommend that you do the same and come back with feedback.

 

Nah, it worked only for a brief time then it all went back to how it was before. Am just not going to stop, before I damage my PC by changing stuff I didnt need to change before ;D
