Here's a thread on the subject: http://www.purediablo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=482026


If you're getting that problem from the act 2 cinematics avoiding the cinematic altogether should fix it. Do a multiplayer install only so that instead of loading the cinematic you get the request to insert cinematic disk, which you can cancel to skip the cinematic.

Should be worth a try at least. :cloud9:

Are you using the shortcut command -ns? That does something similar to me when I change acts for the first time on a new character.


 
Re: can't travel to act2, unhandled exception

The other way this can happen is if you:

a) don't have a sound card installed
b) have a sound card installed but not speakers plugged in
c) have your system set to mute

This appears to be a one time bug in that if you fix any of the above problems, complete any act and lets the cinematic start (or get the message saying insert the CD), then you shouldn't ever see the problem again, even if you were to put the computer back on mute, unplug a headset, etc.

that must be it then. i had to reinstall windows after my internet was closed because my computer or my email actually was sending garbage mail. after that i haven't been able to properly install my soundcard...

i'll probably have to make another thread considering that problem then :S

Re: can't travel to act2, unhandled exception

Guessing the sound card thingy is the culprit, but just thought I'd mention that a fair number of people drop out of games going from act to act (which really sucks if you had a great group and can't remember the name of the game), although I can't remember if the whole game crashes or not (I haven't played in years). I'm not really sure why, but I think it's somehow related to the cinematics because spamming the escape key to avoid the cinematics seems to keeps you in the game. Might be the same or similar to your problem, so maybe give that a try and see if it works.

If you run in window mode, you don't see the cinematics. You can [try] run in window (-w) just the one time to get to act 3.
