Diablo II B.net problem.

[Grave Brekwin]

Hey..I searched through B.Net's Tech support for a good hour to find this problem, and didn't see it anywhere...and eventually I found my way to here..can anyone help me out?:

While connected to B.net, I try to join/create a game..and it gives me the usual "Please wait" box..but the game crashes. Music is still playing, but I lose my cursour and the Dark Wanderer and the door never show up..it stays at the please wait window. CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't do anything, so I press Alt-Tab, in which case I have an error box on my Desktop reading "UNHANDELED EXCEPTION: ACCESS_VIOLATION (c000005)"

I tried about 20 times and out of those 20 times..I got into a game once.

This is a new problem cuz I've been on B.net Before with my Expansion characters, so I dunno what's going on..

Thanks for any possible help.

Are you running any firewall software ?
Are you behind a router ?

What did you install that changed D2 and made it do this?

 

[Grave Brekwin]

I'm running through no Firewall or Router. My Internet connection is directly from a cable modem in my house.

I installed nothing new, besides WCIII, but I'm pretty sure I played Diablo II after I installed WCIII.

I've never had or used a third Party program, so I'm at a total loss. I've done nothing that I could think of to effect the game.

To make matters worse, I can not unistall and reinstall, cuz I lost the CD, which is why I'm hoping this is a problem which can be fixed with a simple Deletion opf File A, or DL of file B.

So you use a No CD crack to play the game?

He might still have the play CD but not the installation one(s)

 

[Grave Brekwin]

I'm playing the Expansion, thus using the Expansion CD. I LOST my Diablo II CD's and the Case.

But, eitherway. Does anyone know what could possibly be going on?

Access Violation. According to my knowledge, it could be caused by :

- Firewalls >> Firewalls or Anti-Viruses could cause this error. Make sure you disable any firewalls/anti-viruses before playing the game.

- Hard-Disk Errors >> Go in My Computer, then right-click on your hard-disk. Under the "Tools" toolbar, click on Error Checking.

- Fragmented Hard-Disk >> Go in My Computer, then right-click on your hard-disk. Under the "Tools" toolbar, click on Defragmentation.

- Viruses >> Go to this site and scan your hard-disk for any viruses.

- Bad Ram >> Test with this program: http://www.goldmemory.cz It must be run under MS-Dos, so you will have to create an MS-Dos Boot Disk. I recommend you get a diskette, go in My Computer, then right-click on the A: drive to format. Make sure you check the "Copy System Files" box.

- Overheating >> Often this would be accompanied by spontaneous rebooting of the computer. This can often be fixed by cleaning off any dust you may find in the computer. Make sure you unplug your computer before dusting it.

- Device Conflicts >> Right click on "My Computer" on the desktop and then properties. Under the Device Manager tab, any conflicts would be reported with a (!) besides the device's name.

- Corrupted Windows installation >> Open Start menu, Program Files, Accessories, System Tools, System Information.
From the tools menu, try the different options. It will tell you if anything is corrupted.

- Outdated Windows installation >> Visit Windows Update Site and update your Windows version.

Wow, thanks much. I'll try all of that and see if anything works.

 

[Grave Brekwin]

Hmm...I did all thsoe things, and I somehow had some viruses..I cleared them and now I'm getting the message "ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (c000001d)"

::Sighs:: Any idea what that could be? Thanks again in advance..

Could be the virus infected/destroyed some files in your game data, had that happened to my Outlook and Norton once when my father ignorantly viewed some 'strange looking emails from people he knows who can't possibly have sent to that email address.' Sigh....I guess some people just LOVE to step on a land mine because it 'looks half buried by dirt and could be dangerous.'

Seriously, though, maybe if you run the anti-virus and have it attempt to repair any infected files? Not sure on that, I had to reinstall Outlook and Norton in my case.

 

[Grave Brekwin]

I scanned my harddrive with Norton again after I rid myself of the viruses, and none were found..

I'll get my Friends Diablo II CD so I can reinstall it..But what makes no sense is I can play the game fine on Single player and Open B.net..it's only Closed B.net that I have this problem..
