D2 crashes on 2nd or 3rd wave on Baal

Hello Blizzard Support team,

Could we have an update on the game crashes specifically when certain gear combinations are used please.

My game crashes unexpectedly without any errors when doing Baal runs.
Doesn’t happen all the times but it does at least once every 5-7 runs.

Game crashes on 2nd or 3rd wave on Baal minions, specifically because of Fortitude armor I believe. When having multiple enemies shooting at you with missiles or melee-ing you, the Fortitude armor launches back ice bolts (from the Chilling Armor)

So to sum it up, game crashes on Baal 2nd / 3rd wave because of multiple enemies trigger multiple ice bolts at the same time from the Fortitude runeword armor.
Also same behaviour occurs when running Travincal when 1 million hydras are summoned at once and they all fire at me.

No game error code is shown, just the below WER event:

As of July 25th, 2022 this problem is still here. Using Fort on multiple characters, this may be the problem and it’s only locking up and crashing with the 2nd and 3rd waves of Baal’s minions. It’s REALLY ANNOYING. A fix would be absolutely great

as of 10/08/22 the issue is still here! plz fix. so annoying to crash on 3rd wave of baal adds every 2-3 runs

Turn VFX Lighting Quality from Ultra to High, should solve your Problem. Problem exists since launch, hope they will fix it some day.

I have the exact same issue. My game has crashed several times on 2nd wave Baal using Fortitude armor. Also crashes on Shenk if I move after I kill him. I have a relatively high end system with 4070 Ti video card.
