I haven't played Diablo3 in months. I got bored yesterday morning so I decided to patch D3 and take it for another spin.
The game crashes at the menu. Logs in. Freezes. Goes black for a few seconds. Comes back. Freezes. Goes black.
Finally just blue screened and crashed my whole computer all together - and that was AFTER I updated my video drivers. Same computer ran D3 just fine for over 1,000 hours before my little break from the game.
I look online and there's tons of people having crashes using the Radeon HD 6800 series, which is what I have, and other Radeon cards while trying to play WoW, D3, and Heroes of the Storm - and, of course, not one reason for it or solution to fix the problem.
My machine is stable running Prime95 for 12+ hours (figured that's sufficient); I can play Path of Exile and other games... But D3 just wants to be crappy.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for fixing this or perhaps had the same issue and found a fix to their problem? Blizzard technical support is pointless, and as I said I've already searched online for a decent solution.
Also interesting - this forum decided to just magically reset my password for me. I had to issue a password reset just to log in and post. Very odd, considering I have 13 years IT experience and I'm extremely confidant in my password vault where I got my Diablofans password from - meaning, it IS the right password.. Hmmm.. Curious..
Anyway..
Any one have any idea why D3 suddenly cannot be bothered to run properly?
Windows 7 Home Premium. Fully up to date.
Comodo firewall. Up to date.
Microsoft Security Essentials. Up to date.
AMD Radeon HD 6800 series GPU - most recent drivers (which I didn't need ~9 months ago to play D3 just fine)
Hmmmmmm......
Sorry.. Just noticed "technical support" is buried in General Discussion and I don't see a way to delete my post or move it.. lol.. my god..

Yea maybe this just isn't worth bothering with.
