I'm In HELL!!

Ha!

After a year and a half of playing, I have finally brought my first
character into hell. Sardonicus sent his skellies and assorted other
minons against Nightmare Baal last night, and didn't need a single
healing potion (just a bunch of mana pots to keep the bone spirits
coming). He then tested the waters and found the blood moor to be
much the same as NM /players 8 blood moor.

The rest of Act 1 will probably be a bitch, since the computer has
decided that it occasionally wants to run the game in kaliedescopic
pinks, purples and lime greens instead of the regular colours- this
seems to be fixed only by taking a Wp from one act to another. Until
I get to Act II, this won't be an option.

So, how long did it take you to get your first character into hell?

Don't ask.

Have you tried alt-tabbing out of the game and then coming back? That
always fixes it for me, although I only have the problem occasionally,
and almost always it's when I'm just starting the game up.

As far as getting the first character to Hell (and through it), I did
that in D2 when it was at version 1.04 or .05 (whichever was after
they fixed the bow bug, and they had nerfed Strafe, but I hadn't
upgraded yet). In LoD, I've gotten a few Realms characters to it (two
through, but one was a co-op character that probably wouldn't have
made it without a *lot* of help), quite a few mod characters, but I'm
not sure I've made it there with a regular LoD character. I *do* have
the Slayer Bowazon that I've been talking about in here in the current
rotation, just a hair over 3 acts to go before she gets to Hell, and
I've only been working on her since July.

Maybe you'd update the driver of your graphic card/chip?
Just a guess.

Which anti virus program are you using?

i have the same problem. Again i just alt-tab out of it and everything's fine,
and again it seems to appear and disappear on random occasions.
I'm using Bit Defender Professional v7.2 btw.

AVG.

I found that alt-tab works miraculously. Glad I asked about it!

That might be your screensaver, actually.

Mine did this for a while - the bad news is that the permanent fix was
to reinstall the game. But that was back in 1.09 and it hasn't done it
since.

A looooong time But then I only play SP and not that often. She was
a bowazon and she became a Matriarch in 1.09. She doesn't cope too well
with 1.10, but is quite happy doing Pit runs to find nice stuff for her
younger brothers and sisters

I have a skellimancer just starting on Hell Act 1. He has a much easier
time of it, being a pure 1.10 character, but gets a bit frustrated 'cos
those skellies can be so dim at times - " No, you boneheads, over
*there*! Don't go in there....darn, too late..." He's still using a
Rogue merc from Act1 Normal, which I understand is extremely
unfashionable

Stop every application that might be active while you play, and will require
dialogs or floating windows or
such stuff. That is antivirus and messenger like applications... AFAIK the
reason this happens is that DirectX has to release some resources when
another application takes over, and tabbing back to D2 will allow it to
reclaim it's resources.. ( You could probably get a very technical
explanation from Game Programmers doing Windows games )

Me too. Same problem. The strange thing about it is, I get these mis-
colours only once in the beginning, on my PIII 1.2 GHz WinME machine,
while my olde PII 400 MHz Win98 is getting these quirks evers ten
minutes or so.
