    Diablo II

    How to deal with


    Unhandled Exception: Access Violation (C0000005)
    By Karakaz

    + First up: What is it? What does it mean?

    From a Systems Analyst at Microsoft:

    “A C0000005 Error is a Windows System error. It is an Exception


    Error that occurs when a process (application, driver, etc.) tries
    to execute a processor command that references memory outside the
    space allocated to that process by the Operating System.

    There are many possible causes ranging from corrupt data tables, to
    a bad network connection, ActiveX controls, or Printer or Video
    driver errors. WIthout knowing what type of error you are seeing,
    it is impossible to guess what the cause may be.”

    As we can see by reading the description, the cause is unknown and


    can really be from anywhere. Although it is usually related with
    the graphics or audio, I've also heard it spawns when one is trying
    to connect with battle.net.

    + Things to consider before trying the solutions

    • make sure that your antivirus software / firewall is not


    preventing diablo II from running or communicating.

    • Make sure that you have patch 1.13c of diablo II installed

    PC
    http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/PC/LODPatch_113c.exe

    MAC
    http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/Mac/Diablo_II_LOD_1.13c.zip

    MAC Carbon
    http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/Mac/Diablo_II_LOD_1.13c_(Carbon
    ).zip

    • Make sure that your video drivers are up to date

    • Consider reinstalling diablo II, files might be damaged

    • Run Windows update to make sure you have the latest service
    pack and updates

    • Consider Reinstalling directX, it might be damaged


    + Methods which can solve the problem:

    • Running as admin

    This should be enabled at all times.

    If this didn't solve it and you are running windows 8 I recommend


    the solution on page 5, that is the one I'm using
    and it should work for you too
    • Compatability mode

    Check “Run this program


    in campatibility mode”

    See if it worked, if not,


    it might work in a
    combination with one or
    more of the blue arrows

    • Running with
    parameters:

    Only one at a time

    -opengl

    Will use opengl


    instead of directx

    -w

    windowed mode
    (if this works but
    you want to play
    fullscreen, go to
    page 7 to make that
    happen)

    -ns

    disables sound
    • Allowing diablo II to run even more freely by adding
    an exception for it in the OS's DEP list

    When you “add...”, locate


    the diablo II.exe and add it
    • Using a Glide To opengl wrapper (recommended solution)

    In this solution we'll be using third party software made


    exclusively for Diablo II to solve issues related with it's graphics,
    it is called 'Glide-To-opengl-wrapper' and is made by the kind
    gentleman Sven Labusch.

    main page
    http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/index.html

    Download the latest version from


    http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/downloads.html

    Once you have downloaded and extracted the files,


    do the following:

    1. Put glide3x.dll in your diablo II folder

    2. Run D2VidTest.exe as admin


    3. Select the third option: 3dfx Glide

    Finished!

    If you want to stretch diablo to fill the screen, do the following


    • Playing in fullscreen windowed mode
    (only works if the parameter -w worked)

    This method uses third party software to allow you to play in


    windowed mode without the ugly windows borders. It can also
    resize the window so you can play fullscreen :)

    Ok, we're ready to begin!

    The windows borders should now disappear

    continues on next page


    Next we want to resize the window to make it fullscreen

    Rightclick the software's tray icon and click “open game settings”

    Fill out with your monitor's


    resolution or whichever you
    prefer. Enjoy.

    + Last notes

    This concludes the guide for error c0000005, if you are still
    experiencing this error. I feel sorry for you, I really do. But if you
    still are determined to fix this, I can only come up with one last
    resort. That is, running a virtual machine with windows XP for
    example and play it that way. Fortunately there are many guides
    on the internet for how to set up virtual machines, so I won't be
    going through that process in this guide. But I wish you good luck
    and I hope to see you in-game. That is, On slashdiablo's server where
    all your diablo 2 needs are met.
