this is the icon before


now it's looking like this when i started up the game today


updated windows and launcher and video card driver no fix
what happened anyone know?

strange mine has done the same thing...

Does the same for everyone I think. You can repair this temporarily by restarting the explorer.exe when you open the taskbar. It will only fix it this time, when you re-open D2R you'll need to do this again.

At least the game works, so no need to bother with that, but if you want to see the icon and you let your game open for a long time, it could be a good temporary fix.

why is it doing that you know? and it only happens to d2r and not the other blizzard games

you will find if you go to the directory, that is what the icon is going forward.

the directory shows the correct icon

Am I missing something here? Ah - Edit: my browser didnt fully load the other image.

Okay - You might have to bite the bullet and rebuild the icon cache; Go to C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer and delete (Move everything called "iconcache_*.db" (the * being the wild card, so basically everything with iconcache_ and ending in .db. Once you've done that, open CMD as administrator and run type ie4uinit.exe -show.

I would recommend reading up on this to be sure if you want to go down that route, or simply try to reinstall diablo 2 or repair it.

i actually did a full system wipe and reload windows and still get the generic icon instead of the d2r icon. like the other 2 posts says, they are having this issue too
