game freezes in act5

[suprneb]

i dont know when this started, but whenever i grow from act4 to act5 through the portal in the act4 fortress, the game freezes but it unfreezes once i take out the cd

sometimes the problem also happens right when i join a game - after the loading screen passes, its just a black screen for a long time and once i take out the cd, everything is fine again

im running the latest patch on d2:lod

anyone have similar problems or a possible solution?

it could be your cd, try copying D2XVIDEO.MPQ from the cd to your d2 folder

if it gives errors try cleaning the cd or follow directions to get a new one

yea thx its something wrong with my cd, because d2xmusic.mpq wont copy off of my cd (i was trying to use the d2loader to play d2 without thd disk, and thtas part of the procedure, and it wouldnt work), so i guess im going to need a new cd =/

That's your problem, right there.

You should count your lucky stars that it didn't work. Now delete the 3rd party program, and re-install everything. If you're lucky, Blizzard won't ban you.
