game crashed after killing a scarab

[LotU]

i finaly got it with my ama to the worm tunnels (sorry dont know the english name for it in act 2 and in lvl3 killed a scarab boss with fana aura and the game crashed

[Rhonlore]

It was probobly just a random crash. Dont worry too much about it.

[Myhrginoc]

In any case, you would need to post crash information, as is explained up front in the General Mod Making and Code Editing forums.

I crash every time i kill unique or champion beetles. There doesnt seem to be a crash log anywhere. And my cpu expiernces lots of slow down after the crash, ussualy making me restart.

[Myhrginoc]

Crash logs will be in your Diablo II folder, with names like D2yymmdd.txt, where yymmdd is the date. You will see a lot of information about starting games, then something like

which is the start of the actual error report. You only need this error header and about twenty lines or so of the following stack dump, don't post the entire report.

Well, at least it only crashes when you kill one...

I had the same problem, but it already crashes when one of those stupid bugs merely touches me.
I already sent SG the crashglog, though.

Yet, that's nothing compared to a crash when you've got a certain red giant demon-bunny down to a silver of his health.

I've never crashed because of a scarab before. Good thing I run away from them anyhow

[Aristabulus]

I crashed today just attacking a scarab... Maggot Lair 2, LE scarab, playing a bowazon... I had hit him a few times in a tunnel (scarab at about 5 oclock), then drew him out to a chamber so my rogue merc could help... The crashing attack occured when the scarab was at 9 oclock...

[Gymndefender]

I'm having the same problem... The game crashes every time I fight a scarab. I think it may be the scarab's lightning enchantment procing? not sure...

Anyway... I looked for the error report to post it as you guys requested, but could not find it... so I attemped to follow the instructions the new loader was giving me about replacing the bll files w the dll files. Since I could not find any bll files and the game was crashing every time I tried cut and pasting the files in the backup folder into the main folder overwriting the existing files.... Unfortuanately now my character won't load. It says something about faulty inventory info. Clearly a bad move. Hehe.

I guess that means that the character is prolly toast, which I can live with... (was only 13 Hehe) But I would not like to have it happen again... Any info or advice on how to avoid this in the future or how to better report the problem so it can be fixed would be appreciated.

[Gymndefender]

Ok.... I think I figured out the bll dll thing... or at least how to get the game to work again when it's constantly locking up... I had not realized that the mod actually works off the origional diablo folder.... for some reason I assumed that it was self-contained... It seemed obvious from there:

Once I realized that, I had to reinstall and then I made a copy of the origional "straight" DII folder to use for back-up next time I have a prob. Not a big deal... by moding standards. Hehe...

I just hope that all my early crashes are not a sample of things to come... Pretty cool mod though. Now I just need to learn to do some moding myself so that I can mix and match good ideas.

I have never crashed killing one and i dont run away. its probably just some random crash.

Hello,

I'm pretty new at posting here, but my level 28 spearazon and my level 15 lightning sorceress are here too prove that I play the mod for some times now : great idea and mod...

About the scarab : it happens to me too, but not always... I have too some random crash when opening the big coofer (white and red ) in act II... For me it's happens when the game try to generate some buggy treasure...

regards,

jpr

will the error report be in diablo 2's folder or S_G's folder? I found something that looks like an error report in S_G's folder, but I also found reports in the diablo 2 folder similar to the way they have been described, ie d2030704. which one is the one I send to S_G for inspection?

[Myhrginoc]

In-game errors still go to the Diablo II folder, to files with D2yymmdd.txt names. You should send that file to Sir_General, but if the other file in the mod directory also lists errors that occurred in the same session send both.

Hello, 2 week reader 1st time poster here, I already looked through the forum and I couldn't find the answere I was looking for. I'll e-mail Sir_General my crash logs when I get home. Anyhow to my question, other than uninstaling and reinstalling the game and the mod, has anyone found a way to either bypass duriel or defeat him without the crash? (I seem to have the same crash as most other people here who crash at him the animation glitch due to attack speeds). Thanks in advance.
