Description
I've been a fan of using a Carrion Wind unique ring on my characters since the LoD. To my dismay all its features don't properly work for me in D2R. Every time I spawn a Poison Creeper the game crashes within 30-40 seconds. Turns out, there is a bug report thread on Blizzard's forum site https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d2r/t ... ash/127640 which I recently updated with my entry. I bought the game 2 years after its release in hope all the major issues would be addressed by then. I don't know how Blizzard treats its bug report forum in general, but this one in particular seems to be ignored, as it's been almost 18 months since the first report on the issue.
Can be used to make Runewords:

Have you tried something very stupid as having another Druid in your game when you spawn it? Also with what character you are playing?
Someone much smarter than me already said once: "The real value of something doesn't reflect in a number of how much a seller can ask for it, but on how much a buyer is willing to pay."
Poison Creeper has long since been known to be one of those "can annihilate your performance" type skills.
It doesn't affect everyone and those it does affect aren't necessarily affected to the same degree.
Slow down. Massive slow down. Increasing slow down until your game finally crashes. Really the same varied behavior as all of those "wreck yo performance" skills ( Poison Creeper, Armageddon, Mosaic sins going nuts, ...).
The "workaround" is generally to either be lucky and simply not affected. Or to play around with your (usually graphics, rarely audio) settings until it improves/gets fixed. Add in the usual "update your drivers bra!" and you're good. Or not. Seems on occasion, it is indeed persistent until the actual hardware is replaced.
Don't expect Blizz to come to the rescue though. 0 bug fixes in what? 5 months now? and certainly not for lack of bugs...kinda shows you how much they care. They just don't.

I've tried it with Amazon, Assassin, Barbarian. All produced the same result - a crashed game. Every time that happened, the AMD video driver (or whatever software layer that is) popped up a prompt to submit a report to AMD.TheDoo wrote: 11 months ago Have you tried something very stupid as having another Druid in your game when you spawn it?

Yeah, I've figured that much. The game is too good and vast, as far as replayability (is there such word?) is concerned, to turn away because of this glitch and a number of others. Maybe this is something specific to AMD hardware/software. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to prove it, or otherwise.Schnorki wrote: 11 months ago Poison Creeper has long since been known to be one of those "can annihilate your performance" type skills.

Using AMD, big ouchy! Oh well, cannot help you there sir...

You'd be laughing (or crying) if you knew the PC configuration I play this game on.
Carrion Wind summoned Poison Creeper crashes my PC game too. On a necromancer with Iron Golem and merc. Using Puspitter and LR.
Could say the same about Nvidia. Never gonna buy Nvidia again after spending lots of my time fixing issues caused by their driver on my system. Sry to say, but most hard- and software companies just suck.

This is a somewhat funny comment now in hindsight considering all the issues Intel has been dealing with lately, with their last 2 generations of CPUs randomly failing and just being unstable...
(yes, I realize the comment was about graphics cards, but still...
)

My profile says Ladder, but I play both Ladder and Non-Ladder.

Is there a difference between using the modem and the classic graphics mode?
This is not an AMD-related issue. It's a game engine problem.
I am running an AMD and an older nVidia system, both are having replicable performance and instability problems (Mosaicsin, Shenk kill, Tristram portal activation, some areas like WST).
BUT I was able to get rid of these issues on both systems by reducing FX settings. Give it a try.
