I have contacted Take Two on many occasions and they will not address this problem between MP2 and Windows2003 (Will not load), even though they stated to The Inquirer that they are aware of the problem.

Diablo 2 freeznig

ViolentGreen
I broke out my diablo 2 and put it on my system running XP Pro. It will work for a few minutes and then freeze for 10-30 seconds. I have the latest D2 patch and fairly recent ATI drivers. Indexing service is disabled.

All of the sudden I can not get Freesapce 2 to load. It jumps back to the desktop after about one second and nothing happens. I checked the error log in the Freespace 2 folder and it says there was some sort of access violation in module.

aliem
Maybe I'm just missing a dll file. . . but on the website for steam it says nothing about compatability with NT. Anyway. . . there's a new release of Counter Strike, and it's using a new thing called steam.
