What kind of crashes are you experiencing? I have run the two latest patches without any mods and have never encountered a single crash. There are bugs, but I have not experienced crashes yet.

Are these crashes random crashes or are they happening in the same situation all the time? If the latter is true and you have a save game I could try it on my PC or you could try when you have disabled all mods you are using, if any. Just a precaution to rule out that a mod is to blame for the crash.

I always run without mods.

Usually happens when I am just walking around or flying around... then suddenly crash.

I try to go into dev mode, but it doesn't always show up or it seems to somehow magically alt-tab me back to the desktop with no message, then, I can go back into the game. (probably caught some exception).

It's not easily repeatable so I just reload the game and go on.

I suppose one could argue it is ram issues, but considering I have played over 900 hours of Diablo 3 with ZERO crashes, I doubt my machine just suddenly got "unstable".

Ouch. Those kinds of bugs are the hardest to get rid of. It could still be RAM related, but it is a bit farfetched. This game could use another physical location of your RAM or graphic card RAM than what Diablo is using, and that location could have a defect. A RAM diagnostic program would probably be able to detect if your hardware is ok. Could be worth a run if you can find the time; those programs tend to be rather slow...

Same thing happpened to me in the exact same way. Crashes could happen like three times in 10 mins or not at all for several hours. They definitely did happen more often than a crash in the battle.

Almost useless to add that I have no problems whatsoever with my system.

Hmm, my days of no crashes have gone away. I had one the first time I entered Hades, but thought nothing about it. But when I entered New Kordar, the game crashes fairly often. Usually it is when a battle is about to start. Restarting the game and loading has so far worked well. It has never crashed twice in the beginning of the same battle after a resart. The game seemed so stable up until this point.

To elaborate my experience, that is precisely what happened to me as well. The latest build was SUPER stable up until Demonis/Hades. I thought the "horse fix" was an attempt to fix this because I always had problems here.

In previous patches, the crashing occured while randomly walking around even on the first island.

I quicksave every 10 mins (force of habit) anyways.

As for the start of a battle, it has something to do with
"lua_isnumber( m_pLuaVM, iIndex)
File: spells_common.lua line: 30"

Maybe random item generator OR bug trying to use skills like diversion since that occurs at start of battle.

Yes, restarting will let me get around it, but it is scary. I'm crashing again during battle and on the random walk around now.

I highly suspect it has to do with our skills because you only really get strong enough to use such skills later on in the game.

Hades always had problems walking around with the spinning floating disks...

Why can't you simply wait for Summer/Autumn 2013 when all bugs will be fixed and than play?

Because without us, they wouldn't be found.
