About glide3x.dll in Windows 10

[Darion]

Hi, I have been using D2Template to compile my mod (just a bunch of small functions and CEs) since last year. Everything works great until one major Windows 10 update came (1903 IIRC), I started to get these two errors pop up every time I exit the game.


I'm not using D2SE, I found these pics on a Reddit post, a lot of people are now having this too.
It seems like a glide issue (I'm using Sven's), but strangely when I unload my costum dll, these errors are gone.
It's like playing unmodded D2 with glide is fine, with PlugY is also fine (somehow), but not with D2Template, or other injected dlls I found online.
I guess it's part of the code injection method was break due to the update? Is there any way to reslove the issue?

I get these errors when I exit the game too, since some {filtered} win10 update, doesn't matter if it's modded game or just plain d2lod

This is something where the debug report certainly would be needed; along with some extra key info like D2 version, if you are running in compatibility mode etc.

I have the same errors on my WIN10 using d2se running several different mods, when using DDraw windowed mode. Not any fix I tried actually worked out, running with glide however will change the issue a bit. The game stops showing error after exiting (unless alt+f4) but d2se application remains working in tray, so it must be stopped manually from task manager each time after quitting.

the debug log is such in the glide case:

If I run in DDraw the two errors posted in OP are popping one after another, just after quitting the game client, debug log is this one:

Opening and closing d2se application without starting any diablo game creates no errors whatsoever.
Running regular diablo(not through d2se) using or not using glide, both work without any errors.

I've tried this on different combability settings, result is the same.
I also run diablo.exe with "reduced colour mode" on and "disable full-screen optimisation", if it is of any relevance.
Native diablo2 version is 1.09b
Using D2SE Modmanager v2.2.0

What I haven't tried is to run full-screen, tweak somehow glide, or reinstall everything from scratch.

Glide3x related... thought I'd post here in case someone else ran into the issue.

The error was forgetting to remove all dependencies to Glide3x.dll in UVLoD and not having the module present. I Think it was under Win7.

Windows Generic Error message 0x753D57EC

This is something where the debug report certainly would be needed;

I don't know why, but my D2 debug report has never been longer than this:

I hope the ones provided by Fawahar would be useful, cause our issue are EXACTLY the same. I also found that exiting unmoded game (with glide) won't give errors, but game process would remain background forever, unless stopped manually from task manager.

along with some extra key info like D2 version, if you are running in compatibility mode etc.

I'm running v1.13d, with XP SP2 compatibility and admin privilege. I tried different compat settings also, no luck.
