    First of all, good morning to everyone.

    I recently reinstalled D2 as I usually do every once in a while, but this time the D2VidTest.exe file is completely missing from the game folder. It's nowhere to be found. I do have a weird BlizzardError.exe file (lol). I'll link it bellow.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hey,
    First time I hear of such a case. You should probably uninstall the game and reinstall it once again. D2VidTest.exe is (I think, not 100% certain) a critical file and should not be missing from the install folder, as it is "called" (i.e. executed) upon the first ever run of the game. I am not aware of any workaround, but uninstall/reinstall should only take ~10-15 minutes.

    Thank you for your quick reply!

    Indeed, reinstalling solved this issue. I should've done that earlier, but I was kinda searching for workarounds. I feel really dumb atm lol

    On a sidenote, I believe it was Stings MH files that somehow overwritten the Vidtest application. Probably the glide3d one since I've been having problems with it whenever closing the game, but I can't be sure (the game runned perfectly fine tho, only closing it popped some c00000d error).

    Anyway, thanks for your help!

    A file that doesn't exist cannot be overwritten, @Fefous so neither the maphack nor glide-wrapper could have caused that. Apparently, blizzard installers could rarely do that sometimes and not copy the D2VidTest.exe file as per other people's reports on the internet but as @sphinx25 mentioned, reinstalling should fix that or if you used the portable version then maybe the file was somehow skipped during extraction. Additionally, D2VidTest.exe is not a required game file unless you wish to switch to 2D and use glide-wrapper, otherwise, you won't need it if you're playing the game in window mode.

    Marking the thread as solved since reinstalling the game solved the issue.

    PS: Regarding C000000D closing popup (has no impact on the game though) you may thank Microsoft for that and refer to this thread for the fix http://forum.europebattle.net/threads/glide-wrapper.539863/
    Have in mind that glide-wrapper itself is an optional 3rd party tool and it's not mandatory to run the game.

    No need to feel dumb, sooner or later, one way or another, it happens to every one of us :).
    Glad it helped, you're welcome.
