Diablo 1 HD Hellfire Mod | Awake

Just tried playing latest version of Tchernobog with my friend and game hangs everytime we come closer to butcher chamber - is it known bug? Is there any workaround for it?

EDIT: Ok, i see mention on bug tracker. Still would like to know if there's workaround for it.

EDIT 2: It also happens on Single Player. Problem occurs while playing mage on normal diff.

It prolly has something to do with the butcher quest video it plays when u get there. Go to the options and there's an enable/disable quest video setting. Try switching that and see if it helps.

It was the first thing i did, unfortunely it didn't help. I'm not even opening the door, i'm just walking around chamber while freeze occurs.

Turn on videos. I had videos off briefly, and my game froze up at butcher too.

Confirmed. Turning on movies prevent crash.
Thank you.
