Okay, I don’t know if I messed up big time now, but I started playing single player recently, to try out some of the 2.4 PTR changes. I played on PTR, SP, and was enjoying it so much that I continued playing SP almost exclusively - I even started a Holy Grail! I must have forgotten that I was in PTR, however, and just remembered.
When I launched the game in normal D2R instead of PTR mode I can no longer create games for my SP characters! They are there, I can select them just fine, I can even choose a difficulty, but when I get to the door loading screen I briefly see the door and then just get “Failed to join game”. I can still find my characters in Users/Saved Games/Diablo II Resurrected, and there seems to be no difference between D2R/PTR. I can still create games with my characters if I launch in PTR-mode.
I have seen other semi-related topics here on the forums, but they get the “Failed to join game” after crashes (e.g. Single Player Offline - Failed to Join Game - #9 by LANET-1497). I have tried to delete my shared stash, even every character except one, but nothing works.
After some more testing, it seems that I can actually create games with every one of my characters except the two most important ones: my Blizzard sorc and the Hammerdin. Given that I can enter all the other ones, I assume that there’s some sort of corruption going on. How does that work? Are there are any checks I can do to see if there is corruption, or anything I can do to fix it? Really hoping I don’t loose all my Holy Grail progress, I already got over 200 items…
