I did notice and talk to about 15 people over the course of 30-35 minutes who also have gotten this error message. I went to the open tech support forum on USWEST, this being where the whole thing is taking place and I could not as you would imagine find any reasonable explanation. I checked all my other characters and they can enter games or create them. So I reinstalled d2, and lod and downloaded the patch again and I still got this error message with this one character. Later, about 20 minutes later I went to look at one character in a account and upon trying to join a game got the message (unable to enter the game, generic bad file). I downloaded the patch to lod and went through all my accounts and looked at each character in a private game, and all seemed fine. Today I am describing a new bug for me and others. I am thankful for the lurkerlounge and the service it provides to the people who enjoy the game called Diablo. Jeez, I seem to be posting here (the bug forum) more often and I cant say this is very fun. Printer-friendly copy Email this topic to a friend Subject: 'Unable to enter game, Generic Bad File'
