Those "uber 1337 haxxors" finally get the chop

I use XP Home, but I think it might work the same. I have found the quickest way to drop you out of D2 when having an asserion error is to just press 'Esc'. This immediately kills the D2 client and will reduce a lot of time fumbling for that darn assertion error box. Hope it helps for future errors.
