Get the Latest OS and Graphics Update
While the Windows OS has a built-in update feature, there’s a chance that your computer technician has disabled it. So, make sure that you have the latest operating update. Sometimes, video games like Diablo II: Resurrected may encounter glitches, errors, or system failures due to outdated operating systems.
Please also note that modern games require the latest version of graphics drivers. If you haven’t updated your GPU driver yet, feel free to download IObit’s driver booster to automatically fetch and download the latest updates for your computer.
Disable Nvidia GeForce Experience Overlay
Steam and Geforce Experience (if you’re using Nvidia) could be the cause of the Diablo II: Resurrected crash. The Steam overlay features a lot of fancy features, such as making in-game purchases, screenshots, and more. If you have these features activated, we highly recommend closing them as they consume a lot of resources on your computer.
How to disable GeForce Experience overlay
- Open GeForce Experience.
- Click the Gear icon on the top right.
- Under the General section, toggle the In-Game Overlay button to turn off the feature.
- Re-open Diablo II: Resurrected and see if you’re still getting these crashes.
Close Background Running Programs
You may not be aware, but some of the programs installed on your computer are running in the background. These background applications also consume a lot of resources. Closing these unwanted background programs will decrease the processing of your CPU, making it easier to process the Diablo II: Resurrected game.
