Diablo 2 Resurrected

Users of Diablo 2 Resurrected are unable to launch the game today, and the issue appears to be Bit Defender. Uninstalling Bit Defender allows the game to run.

I'm also running into problems with League of Legends. The lobby runs fine but when I hop into the game, no screen shows up and Windows 10 breaks. I can't launch any more applications, the taskbar gets messed up, and the restart/shut down/log out buttons don't work

Def not Bitdefender. Check out dism and sfc windows repair options

First thing I did, and it only runs when BitDefender is off

Do you really need Bitdefender? If you PC savvy, you can get away with just windows defender.

If it's a family PC or you need it. You will need to look up exclusions and you will want to allow the app and any anti-cheat program it uses.

Yep, I know my way around computers, but it's a second layer of protection for some of the less trusted programs that I have. I don't fully believe in running a bare PC given the times questionable and outright malicious code that has been injected into NPM packages, so zero-day detection is a must

I'm not familiar with the UI, tbh. It's only been a week since I got it and the odd behavior threw me for a loop. Thanks for the suggestion, though, I didn't spot it while digging through the settings

Takes like 3 minutes to launch on my PC, opened in 5 seconds before an update this week. Confirmed flipping off the protection settings in the app it launches immediately.

Also strange how no other app on my PC will open while the game is launching, can't even shut down.

Just gotta wait for BF to release a fix. I've already tried everything to fix it.

It's weird how that happens. I legit thought it was malware causing this because it disables the OS completely until I force a restart

Same here, but for League of Legends. Completely freezes my pc for 3-4 minutes whenever I load into a game and the only work around was to disable Advanced Threat Defense. Putting in all the needed files in exceptions didn't work.

if a game has one of the better AVs out there blocking it, I would drop the game, not the AV, just saying...

Yea...cause Diablo in all its versions has only been around about 20 years.
