Major Problem...
Well I typed out a whole page explaining my problem earlier before my browser along with Diablo suddenly just disappeared. The only thing I can think of it's the anticheat system... does it detect alt-tabbing and counts it as cheating or what? That's just crazy.
But anyways, my stash does not work anymore. The buttons disappear (just black squares) and I can only access one page. I've posted about this on your other forums, and never got a fix for it, besides erasing my stash completely and starting over. That's unacceptable. Not to mention after the stash goes away, during single player launch I get "Bad Header" and cannot go in, and multiplayer launch I get "Generic Bad File" or something like that. This happens _everytime_ I start up a _second_ game. The first launch everything works perfect, after that it goes to {filtered}. So what's going on?
I have tried with a fresh, brand new install, still the same crap. What I'm thinking is, PlugY is crapping out, or not saving the stash correctly, or something with the TCP/IP option for multiplayer is seriously screwing up the game, or both.
I've only seen one mention of the Bad Header error on your other forums, didn't help in the slightest as it was all in German. I've seen no mention of this stash error anywhere. Is the 755 download on this site outdated or beta or what? If that's the case, please give me a link to where it's not beta or outdated.
EDIT: I have tracked down the problem 100%. It's purely the stash. It's somehow getting corrupt all the time, and I have not a clue as to why. All the error messages I was getting, Bad Header and such, went away as soon as I renamed the _LOD_ChaosEmpireTradeStash.sss file. Now the question is... why is the PlugY stash expansion messing up? That's twice now that I've lost everything in my stash. The file being 0 bytes is obviously screwed and holds no items seeing as the brand new stash file is 17 bytes. I'm not liking this "no stash" thing. Please, Please help me with this.

Re: Major Problem...
Alright, seeing as I'm getting a bunch of views for this thread and no answers, I'm going to try and install a seperate version of PlugY and see if it corrects it.
EDIT: So much for that idea... keeps saying corrupt .dll. You have some kind of detection against changing the PlugY version, which is crap because the one your using is faulty. It cannot be due to a connection issue because were on a LAN. That's about as best a connection were going to get. If it's crapping out over that... then it's obviously a faulty version of PlugY. Come on Chaos, help me out here, it is your MOD after all...

Re: Major Problem...
my husband is having the same problem on his pc but im not whats up with this
Re: Major Problem...
I was getting the "missing/corupt" DLL file error as well, mostly when I install. What I found is that if find the DLL that it says is corupt and remove it from the folder and then place it back in, it seems to work for me. Hope that helps somewhat. If that doesn't work, drop me a line, I have some other ideas.

Re: Major Problem...
HI guys, was the server down for the last 4-5 days or what?
Anyway, downloaded the new 755 and followed everything as stated in the readme.... Installed and went to test Single Player, my old charecter works just fine, and got alot of new things from gamble. Then installed the mod on Raynor's PC and made a multiplayer game.....everything was fine untill he wanted to go out out of the game.
I was the host and the game trew me out giving an error and when restarted no more singleplayer was possible, even if a new charecter is created. Did a fresh instal of the whole Diablo - OK, but then the same happened.
Its giving me: UNABLE TO ENTER GAME, BAD HEADER
I have no idea what is the problem and I'm asking for HELP PLEASE!!!

Re: Major Problem...
Hi, the file you arr referring to is 0 bytes so I think the problem is in it.
I have not checked the PlugY version but yesterday I installed 5.04 and got the _LOD_SharedStashSave file or whatever it is from an old backup of Raynor's Save directory..... the game started in singleplayer but I had to say goodbye to 3 of my heros, I managed to save my lvl 94 Barbarian and thats all I wanted at least.....haven't tried multiplayer yet but I hope the problem is gone
If any other problems arise I will post them...
Thx for the feedback

Re: Major Problem...
Hi all,
well all I can say is: Thank you very much... I didn't know why I keep my save directories on a separate place, but now I know. At least I saved my Guardian and prj57 saved his Overlord. I don't care about the rest of my characters, my Guardian is the most important one, as it is for prj57. Anyway, thanks Yohann...
