One great command to run in the game, given by a helpful fellow player online is the command:
#DIABLO 2 1.14D PATCH NOTSE FULL#
After playing through the game a few times (with newly-created characters through "Normal" mode), I already have Full Pieces of a few Low-Level Sets. I have been seeing more Uniques, Gems, Runes and especially Set Pieces than I remember in earlier game versions. I have made a few Ladder Characters already, and while playing through the world, I feel that the "world drops" are improved. World Drops seem to have been increased.
Then, go to where you saved the installation files and find the file "Installer.exe", Right-Click it and choose "Run as administrator" to allow it Full Permissions to the files it needs to acess. This means, that when the Downloader is finished (the 'mostly blue menu' will turn into a 'mostly red menu'), Exit the installer for now. One way around this issue (for example, with the "unable to open archive" message), is to interrupt this automated process, after the Downloader retrieves the installation files it needs. This means that for most, when the Downloader (which has a mostly Blue menu interface, shown just above) is finished retrieving the Installation files, it will then try to run the Installer itself (which has a mostly Red menu interface, shown just below) - and if neither of these are running in Administrator Mode (to allow full access permission to files it needs to work with), it may not be able to alter/change the files it needs to - and these messages may come up and you may not be able to continue installing the game. The Diablo II Downloader 'doing it's thing'. This is because the first error message above suggests a "file access" problem (it couldn't alter the file it needed to change, which is usually a Permissions issue) and the second message was a protective, warning measure (which may appear anyway, regardless of running it in Administrator Mode). So, I went to the Battle.Net site and downloaded the latest version of the Installer for Diablo II - which can be obtained by logging in at the site and going to "Manage My Games (Account Management)" and then D2 can be found under "Classic Games", at the bottom of the game list. I assumed that the Installer was a little confused about things, as it was also using the 'new Saved Games location' talked about above, but it didn't know where D2 was actually installed to.
#DIABLO 2 1.14D PATCH NOTSE WINDOWS 10#
This was understandable, since I was running it from an old installation folder - one that Windows 10 didn't automatically 'know about', since installing 10 as a Dual-Boot with Windows 8.1 - I hadn't gone through the Diablo2 Installation Process with Windows 10, at this point. I looked around the BattleNet forii, but nothing was being said - at least about problems with the Installer doing this - so I did some Troubleshooting of my own and found that Diablo2 wasn't listed in the Programs and Features section ("Uninstall or Change a Program") of the Windows Control Panel. Īt the time, these buttons did not work at all.
The above location assumes that C: is your main Windows drive/partition (where Windows is installed to, which is created and used automatically, by Default) and it should also be noted that your User Name or Login Name goes where it says "". The above location is now where your ".D2S" and ".MAP" files are kept (your Character's save game information) - and where we'll be going to get Ladder-Only Runewords working in Single Player mode in a bit.
Here though, I want to get into the changes that I noticed with these Patches, how the game worked in Windows 10 for me personally, and how Windows seems to handle the game files themselves now.įor example, the Save Games for Diablo2 are no longer kept within the Installation Directory (the folder where the game is installed to) - as of Patch 1.14 they are now located at: Although I did not personally have any issues with these Updates, some people have, as can be seen if you browse the Support Forum for Diablo II (under "Classic Games" at BattleNet). For those of you interested in playing (or never stopped playing) Diablo 2, you may have noticed there was both a Ladder Reset (on May 17th) and some new Patches (up to 1.14 now).
