Game crash - Mesh vertex format is invalid

Hi all,

I have an issue with my Amazon (online char). Managed to do lvl 4 (only!) because of frequent game crashes. But now I am not even able to log in to the game world with this character - the game crashes on the loading screen. Tried to create a new online character (Paladin) and enter the game with it → everything is fine n smooth like butter…

I checked blz-log.txt within the game directory for clues and there is this error log entry:
10/1 15:47:48.735 [Render/4] [<>:0]: Mesh vertex format is invalid. Filename: ‘data/hd/objects/shrines_other/deer_shrine/model/fx_cloth_lod3.model’, Mesh: 'deer_shrine_tarpShape’
10/1 15:47:57.695 [Prism/4] [<>:0]: Present Failed
10/1 15:47:57.699 [Prism/4] [<>:0]: Map Failed

Yet scan & repair found no issues in my game files…

I have no clue why this happened, but my Amazon is unplayable and I wonder if it may happen with other characters as well.

Regarding setup: Since I am not able to play D2R on my desktop PC (no AVX), I decided to play it on a Dell Latitude laptop (10th gen Core i5, 16GB RAM). Everything on the lowest graphic settings.

I tried to change fullscreen to windowed mode, tried various resolutions, upscaling on 50%, but nothing works… still the same error.

Any suggestions?
