Pretty sure Heretic II had a freeze/crash on load.
Interestingly, it randomly crashes on Adventure/Action modes but not all times. Whenever it crashes the even viewer shows following problem signs:
P1: Heretic2.exe
P2: 1.0.0.1
P3: 365140ed
P4: StackHash_ab66
P5: 0.0.0.0
P6: 00000000
P7: c0000005
P8: PCH_A2_FROM_ntdll+0x00071BDC
It doesn't happen always. Few years back, it always crashed for me. Now it doesn't always for some reason.
I tried looking up for P8: PCH_A2_FROM_ntdll+0x00071BDC but couldn' find anything.
Edit: What I said about not crashing always is only true if the Tutorial has been loaded once.
Edit 2: I found an indirect fix and I have posted it in the main post.
Edit 3: Turns out someone already posted a video on it in 2016. It just so happened that I played the Action/Adventure/Armageddon modes only after starting a Tutorial so I didn't face the problem.
