Diablo 3 crashes when opening...(1)Category: Technical SupportMay-27-2013 3:58 PM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Decided to play Diablo 3 after several months of not playing and it won't open. Launcher updates fine, then the game opens to a black screen. I can see the cursor and hear the music for about 5 seconds then it crashes saying "Diablo III Retail has stopped working".

Here's the last few lines of the D3Debug.txt file. I'm running Windows 8 x64.

2013.05.27 15:56:26.465095500 Initializing client world BattleNet_MainScreen...

Any ideas on how to fix it? Already tried clearing the cache and re-installing.

Zaide,

Can you post the entire D3Debug file please? That gives me a good idea of your hardware configuration too.

Zaide,

Could you try the steps in this support article? It looks like your game is having a problem with the login or connection to Battle.net and this article deals with deleting cached information related to that.

Zaide,

Try this support article next then, it has you delete the existing agent files so they'll be reacquired the next time the launcher runs.

Zaide,,

You know, I thought this "Err = 80004005 : E_FAIL" was a Diablo III related error message but it looks like it may be something corrupted in Windows instead.

Googling "Err = 80004005 : E_FAIL" turns up a lot of articles for the error, mostly dealing with being unable to install Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. Did you do an in-place upgrade to get Windows 8 on your PC?

I'd suggest running Microsoft's System File Checker utility to see if can detect and repair any corrupted files in the installation.

Here's a link to an article with instructions for that, though you could do your own net search and find plenty of others.
