Game Crashing Every Game

Anyone having issues with the game freezing up and then just crashing out? happens every game, mostly going in a portal or big mobs dying.

I don’t. The only time I’d crash was when I killed Shenk the hedgehog with max graphics settings. I’d drop all your graphics settings to lowest possible. Also, watch task manager on your computer while you are doing said things. See if your CPU is spiking. I would say you want to keep it under 85%.

Also, did you do a graphics drivers update recently? I did a Nvidia update not long ago that caused some problems… on the flip side, do you need to update your graphics driver?

um, would thoughts and prayers help?

A computer is an ā€œinstrumentā€ for running programs. If it isn’t ā€œin tuneā€, then the programs themselves aren’t ā€œin tuneā€.

Maintenance required.

Short term: Dust.

Longer term: Power supply, disk wear… ā€œUnwantedā€ software running…

I had this when using the Druid’s Poison Creeper skill; every time this skill was active, eventually the PC would freeze up and become unusable, and / or there would be a ā€œflashingā€ effect where the screen would rapidly go dark and then appear again.

Entreaties to try to fix this bug (it was easily reproducible) fell on deaf ears. All I could do is to not use the skill. So if I were you I’d try to isolate the exact conditions when your problem occurs and then avoid them by ā€œplaying around itā€.

Crude, I know, but it may be the only way to get play value out of this very old game system.

That’s why I simply ignore nVidia ā€œupdatesā€ as are being constantly pushed down to me via pop-up advisories in Windows. As the existing drivers run D2R perfectly well, ā€œit ain’t broke, and I ain’t gonna ā€˜fix’ itā€. :shushing_face:
