Is anyone else's mod crashing after today's patch? (2021-11-06)

[Spectrum]

Last night my mod was running OK (the game would boot, at least). Today, after I've installed the newest D2R patch, my mod consistently crashes upon startup.

I have not investigated it yet. I will. I'm just wondering whether others are seeing the same problem.

It turns out that in my case the problem was that one of my D2S files had become corrupted. When I roll my sorceress back to a backup from 3 days ago, she and the game load fine.

Here is the corrupt file, in case anyone is interested: https://github.com/SpectrumDT/spectrum- ... ryocas.d2s

And here is the working backup of that same character: https://github.com/SpectrumDT/spectrum- ... ryocas.d2s

Glad you found the issue, mate.
I had come to say that mine works fine (so far).
I hadn't yet played at all since I updated yesterday, so I had to go test it after I saw your thread.

Any idea what might have caused the corruption in your save file?

Well, the game did crash on my yesterday while I had this character open. That might have been what corrupted her.

The crash, in turn, might have been caused by my work-in-progress attempt to make a skill that summons flying scimitar minions...

ooh, you mean like those things that sometimes get summoned when you break open pots in the Viper Temple? I was thinking about that earlier this week.

Exacty. Now I've released a version of my mod where the scimitar minions work: https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=217

My modded game will not play right since this latest patch and I'm having a hard time finding out what the issue is. Anyone else have this issue and do you know which files I should be focusing on?
