Hello all; a few minutes ago I killed baal on destruction difficulty. The game crashed with an error about 10 seconds late as I was picking loot up, and now the character can't join or create any new games at all. Whenever I try it always hangs at the loading screen then tells me failed to join game. I can get into games on other characters but not him. How can I fix this so I dont lose all my charms and gear?

Must be server problems. I got my game freezed as well. Now can't join (though it still exists). You shouldn't lose any gear if you died less than 5 times without body recovery. But charms and/or gear that were lying on the ground will vanish when the game gets deleted (e.g. if such a situation took place in muling game when you left items on the ground).

So when that specific server recovers I should be able to use the character again? I don't care about any items on the ground but I just hope the character isn't corrupted. Were you using GS #10 by chance? the texas one. And it's not that I cant rejoin that game, I cant rejoin or make ANY games at all.

Well, I changed the server and now I can create and join games again. Should have done this immediately after that problem appeared tho... :(

Sometimes when your game crashes, your character gets stuck in that game for several minutes. If this is what happened, you just have to wait a few minutes and try again.

Just changed servers in chat and it worked! I would have had a meltdown if I lost everything :) thanks.
