Create couple saves with original 1.06 gamex86.dll and try to load them with modified gamex86.dll from heretic2_106_glide_ws.zip. I want to know if at least one of them loads properly.

I'll take a look...

Yeah, most likely they asked you to save an entire list of events from "Application" category to .evtx file.

Create couple saves with original 1.06 gamex86.dll and try to load them with modified gamex86.dll from heretic2_106_glide_ws.zip. I want to know if at least one of them loads properly.
First test: I did a clean installation, installed the game, installed patch 1.06, but it didn't even start the game. So,

-I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, installed the patch 1.06, replaced the files of your latest update, without gamex86.dll.
-Started the game, changed resolution to 1920x1080, made four saves.
-Exited the game.
-Restarted the game, reload, and with all four saves, it loads perfectly, but once the game starts after the load, after a few seconds of playing, the game freezes and hangs.

Second test: I just remembered that in order to start Heretic II with the 1.06 patch, It's needed to start the tutorial first, and then a new game. I did so, and performed the exact same tests I said above, but this time I didn't change the resolution, I just left it in 640x480. The results were the same, all saves load correctly, but once the game started, after a few seconds it froze and hanged. The first time, though, the sounds, instead of stopping, they kind of got stuck in a loop, where they repeated themselves, until I killed the process of the game in the task manager.

Are these the test you need?

I just had a problem with Diablo III, so I did another ticket, and then found out which file was: It was a file generated by the MSInfo tool. Would this help you?

If you replaced gamex86.dll from .zip after exiting the game:
-I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, installed the patch 1.06, replaced the files of your latest update, without gamex86.dll.
-Started the game, changed resolution to 1920x1080, made four saves.
-Exited the game.
-Replaced gamex86.dll from heretic2_106_glide_ws.zip
-Restarted the game, reload, and with all four saves, it loads perfectly, but once the game starts after the load, after a few seconds of playing, the game freezes and hangs.
then yes. I assume you did since the game freezed after few seconds...

Right now I don't need it, but I'll let you know if I do.

Yes, sorry, I forgot to write down the step you highlighted in red. That's exactly what I did, just the way you quoted, in both tests, using the latest zip you posted, which was the third, I believe.

You know, I seem to remember about a year ago, I had a problem with Diablo 3 or Starcraft II, I can't remember correctly which one, but I made a ticket asking for help, and in the ticket there were two files that gave a lot of information about the error. One was generated with dxdiag, and the other... which I believe it was the most helpful one... I can't remember how to do it, but it contained a massive amount of information. With those two files, they told me what was the problem and were, and I fixed it. Would this help you in any way? The second file may be a list of all events made by the Windows Event viewer, by selecting [Action]->[Save Event as], I can't remember correctly.
Hi there, Zeus, I just wanted to tell you that I had problems with Diablo III again, and had to submit a ticket to solve them, and the files that I submitted are a DxDiag report and a MSInfo32 report. So, if they help you in any way, just let me know.
