I'm not sure. One possibility is that my dad, who had tried tinkering my new laptop to play Diablo 1, may have changed the compatibility settings or something.

is it a fresh install, or a copy you transferred over from an old computer?

HEY, I'M NOT TAKING THE FALL FOR THIS !!!!

I tried the DSL 2.2 FULL VERSION and it crashed as soon as I started a match no matter what compatibility settings I used. HOWEVER, if I left the video quality setting on low, the match started fine with no crash.

Not sure about other parts of the game though, seems pretty buggy to me.

XD Hey dad. The game itself crashed IMMEDIATELY when I tried starting it. I couldn't even get to the match, it wouldn't load the start menu. It just failed instantly.
