Crash as soon as the game loads up(1)Category: Technical SupportDecember-26-2012 2:42 PM PST (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Ok so i just got diablo lll for christmas and i was really looking forward to it. My computer is well over the system requirements so i thought it would be a breeze getting this game installed and getting right to playing. well when i log into my account and click on my demon hunter and log in the world loads and as soon as i click for my character to walk my entire computer crashes. Ive Turned the graphics all the way down, ive searched the fourms for hours and tried everything i could think of. Any Advice?

Makø ,

Can you post your D3Debug.txt file? It's located in the main Diablo III game folder. Edit out your account name first though. It may appear in a few places in the file.

Makø ,

Is the game fully installed or are you playing while it's still downloading in a "playable" state?

If it's still downloading, it's best to let it finish.

If it's all there, try the following as I suspect something is corrupted somewhere.

Delete the following folder, \Diablo III\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Cache , then run the repair tool in the launcher. You access that under the Help tab across the top of the launcher. It can take a while to run as it rebuilds the deleted info so please be patient and let it finish before continuing to try the game again.

Makø,

Is the last line in the D3Debug file a reference to this again?

Makø,

I'm afraid I'd have to recommend a reinstall then. It's stopping when loading specific content in from the hard drive but not recording any errors in doing so as we often see it do in a case like this. Reinstalling is the best way to rule out corrupted data if the repair utility didn't help.

When you reinstall, there are two other folders that should be deleted as described in these two articles.

Makø,

Can you post some information about your computer? You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

Could you also post your D3Prefs.txt file? It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.
