Crash when entering the game with -direct -txt options on

[movomo]

Hi, I have two computers running D2 on, and on one of them the game crashes when selected a character and entering the game.

Set up-wise, the two installations are exactly identical. I've been running the games for quite some time and I'm pretty sure this is not some mis-modified txt file or something. (I can run the game normally if I remove d2gl and restore sven's glide3x.dll.)

The game itself runs, I can even access the Ctrl+O menu in the game's main menu screen, can seem to change a few options there, but if I select any character and try to enter game, it crashes with an unhandled exception message (access violation: c0000005). I'll try to explain the specifics and oddities below.

Details

• OS: Windows 10 20H2 19042.1706)
• Hardware: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (I attached a dxdiag output)
• D2 version: 113d
• command line options: "Diablo II.exe" -direct -txt -3dfx -log
• mods: vanilla-ish, but with a mod named uvlod (only its dll file). It forces me to run the game as admin, and I also need to use a modified D2Win.dll file. So d2gl.log will complain like this:

  [23:28:57][ERROR] Offset: d2win.dll, 60851(0x0000EDB3), 0(0x00000000). Original bytes are not equal: 0x01FF15B8 != 0x50FF15B8

• renderer: glide, but the log file still says it's glide even when I run the game without -3dfx and still crashes.
• SGD2FreeResolution or d2fps not installed (removed after first crash)

---

• The game doesn't seem to crash if -direct -txt options are removed. But it crashes as soon as those options are fed, even with a very simple txt change that can't possibly go wrong, such as pure vanilla armor.txt file. I don't think it's related to wrong txt modification. After all, it runs on my another computer.
• The game still crashes if I restore vanilla d2win.dll file (hence disabling uvlod).

Attachments

I'll attach the crashing computer's log files here cause they're very long.

On the one that works, the d2gl.log file is very short.

I have to report that it appears to work sometimes, very rarely. I have not figured out under what condition does this happen, but I'll post a successful d2gl.log file anyway.
