Merc Freeze.

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Does this seem to happen more these days? Perhaps it's because I've been
leveling various chars through Act 3, but lately I've noticed it more. Ping
is fine, FPS is fine, but my Merc will stop following me and start running
on the spot. I can continue playing for 15-20 mins without my merc appearing
again. A quick TP to and from town seems to fix the problem but it does seem
a lot more common in act 3 than any other act.

cheers,
Stu.
*Just watched the fantastic WoW video. Nice. Closeup screenies of the
characters still look a bit dodgey.

Ah, that Geglash is a bad influence. Him and those Scazini Ale Potions.
