game crashing ... not sure why... best guess = density issue?

[chrisogilvie99]

Booted up the mod, started playing, I set all density mods to max. Everything was going fine in the Blood Moor, then I get to the Cold plains and the game started crashing.

I turned down extra pack size from 20 back down to 3, since there was a warning in the mod UI about performance. That seemed to work for a while, and I was able to progress past that section. This is what makes me think the issue was related to mob density.

Then I got to the Barracks/Jail area, and the game started crashing again, as I approach the jail or slightly before it. OK - I turned down "Extra pack size" back down to 0.... doesn't fix it, game keeps crashing on further attempts.

I don't know why, but the game keeps crashing around this area of the game, and I cannot progress further. I tried turning all the graphics down, since I saw some other mods had issues with lighting settings, and that had no positive effect.

Regular D2R works fine, I play it all the time -- no issues with base game.

I reinstalled the game on my D drive, and I am still having the same issue.

Something about the mod is crashing the game repeatedly, and it seems to keep happening selectively around the same game area.

Also, when the game crashes, it does a semi-rollback of any items I picked up, I log in and my inventory is the same as it was.
