So far only happening for online characters.
Play private game. Save and exit. Game freezes.
Only solution is to force close the game.
7/4 update
Still the same. Transferring my items to mule. Notice the bottom right corner. The red spinning icon pops up and you know once you save and exit. The game will crash. Any solution on my end or hope blizz catches on and update the patch later.
July 5 update
Now even affecting online play. Game freezes every game once i save and close. The rotating pentagram appears from the second game starts seem to indicate the game will crash once i save n exit.

I have the same issue and I only play offline. Also the game will sometimes not save my progress.

I haven’t touch offline since season started.
I’m still scared to put items in a new character. The whole character disappeared along with everything. I still have 2 slots left. If i remember, I’ll test it out later. But base on patch notes. Nothing was touched.
Devs should focus on foundation. Can’t build a tall skyscraper without a strong ground around it.

January 13 2023 update.
With the announcements season 3 coming mid February. I decide to create a new offline character. I have a total of 28. I have made 29 but didn’t play it. Save and exit. Turn d2r off and reboot. Back to 28. I tested the same pattern 3 times. Nothing has changed. No new character created.
Are we going to issue this? My first post was back in July 2022.

THIS exactly this still happening on my switch. I found ou the hard way, lost a lot of good items this way. Now… when I start a new char and save and quit with it, the game just crashes and I have to force stop

Any workaround here? It’s Oct 2024 and still this issue appears to my game…
Well freeze issue is gone
As for making permanent characters. It’s more a luck thing. I managed to have 30 characters.
Create new character. Wait until bottom right corner icon spin = saving. Than save and exit. Exit D2r and start game again. I kept repeating this until I reached 30. It’s been a while back. I don’t remember how many tries. Guesstimate 3-5 tries.
As of today. I have 0 issues.
Same issue here. Been playing offline for a while now no issues. Started playing online non ladder no issues. When new season started up I thought I’d give that a go. When my stash got full I decided to make multiple characters in a short span and transferring all items to each appropriate class so when the time comes to build them I have gear for each one. After I made 3-5 characters now every time I save a quit on ANY character online ladder the red symbol spins in the corner the entire time and when I try to save and exit a game it crashes. Why I’m looking back years now to people having similar issues and still not a fix for this is ridiculous. Blizz doesn’t make enough money to fix a 20 year old game???
Try save and exit then create another game to save and exit. So basically save and exit twice.
Than again I never came across this issue for ladder. Not saying it doesn’t exist since you’re experiencing it. So I’m not 100% sure it will solve it. But it seem as either side of the data hasn’t been fully transferred or received and the game’s transmitted ended. So redoing this twice can help temporarily.
So I had deleted my most recent character and I was able to play the game as normal. I have 16 total characters online. When I try to make any new characters however on the switch after the character is made the red symbol begins spinning in the corner and never stops. I’m able to enter a game and the symbol still spins. As soon as I try to save and exit the screen goes black. Shows the Diablo logo and red symbol in the bottom right corner spinning and then the symbol freezes after about 5-7 seconds and gets stuck there. The only way out is to force close the game. When I re-enter the game and go to my online character list the bigged character is at the top of the list. Until I delete that character I will only be able to pick a character go into a game and play as normal however if I try to save and exit to make a new game or switch characters the game crashes as described above. If I delete the bugged character one of my higher levels will be the top character in the list when I start the game up fresh and go to my online character list. But anytime I make a new one it goes back to freezing. I have like 5 online ladder characters. I’ve even tried logging on my PC to make new characters and when I get on the switch I have the same problem. I prefer to play switch and make trades on PC as I can actually chat in game on PC. I’m not sure if the bouncing between the 2 is causing issues (it shouldn’t) or if my switch just isn’t making and saving the characters correctly. I have a feeling it’s with the switch as I can make characters on PC and play and swap feely but when I try to play on the switch it’s crash city.
Again I’m not coming from experience so don’t take me too seriously in your case.
For myself. Characters are sorted alphabetical. After playing that character they remain on top unless I play another then the 1st character I play will be 2nd.
Long ago my D2r file was corrupted. I really don’t recall what happen because it’s over a year and more. Here is my solution to that.
First check if you have the latest system update on the console.
If it’s console update. No need to continue following the next step.
Go to System Settings, Data Management, Manage Software. Now look for D2r and click in it. Scroll to the bottom and find ‘Check for Corrupt Data’ and continue from there.
I can confirm this does not delete any data from online nor offline. And from that day forward I have no issues.
Hope that helps. Good Luck and Happy New Year!
