To be victorious

Can I get some input on a strange glitch I've been getting?

In the Act 1 caves (e: I only really have had problem with this in The Cave so far) I'll be walking through and then I suddenly start walking toward a wall, usually in a corner. I try to run away from the wall but the game keeps forcing me back into position next to the wall. The only way I can get out is to save+exit, and when I enter back into the room it does the exact same things in the exact same places. When I refresh the room to get different maps, it ends up invariably happening in another wall.

Is a plugin acting up? Thanks in advance.


e2: VVV I'd bet a stone of jordan that's the case. I had it up way high 'cause I wasn't sure what was an ideal setting for .pick. Thank you!

Could be a pickit issue, that happens with gold piles out of reach for me.

Could try turning the radius down to 1 via .pick radius 1

I had two sets drop off corpse fire and the rest before cain. Is that intentional?

Seems like Act 1 is VERY generous with beginner sets. I've gotten many full sets from uniques and some duplicates, too, and I haven't even killed Blood Raven yet.

From OP:

Garfu has fixed a thing and now there’s a chance for you to receive an entire level 1 set from a super unique in Act 1 Norm (Corpsefire/Bishibosh etc). Honestly, you’ll have more sets lying around then you know what to do with! This is repeatable. Repeat until you have your full set level 1 set.

Oh no, am I going to get suckered into playing this 16 year old game again? I've been trying to resist it but I had too much fun the last few times. Hopefully I'll get sick of the low level slog and burn out and not waste the next month or so playing again...

Are you guys playing with Hardcore or Softcore characters? Just finished installing and all that jazz

I assume Softcore because of the time investment and possibility of painful death from later enemies. I know I am.

I'm on softcore because I felt like playing a sorc and not something super safe. Just made it to A3. Not looking forward to it.

Should I reconsider my Sorceress? Only level 9. I haven't played ES in forever so I'm super out of touch.

Hum, I ran through the install process on the other forum to a tee, click Diablo 2.exe and... nothing? :confused:

My compatibility is WinXP service pack 2 and I did all the other steps...

Anyone else failing out? Win10, if it matters.
Created the shortcut on my desktop and added -w too.
Got all the files from the link on that forum as well.


Edit:
Tried again from the beginning, Windows XP service pack 3 this time, still nothing.
The game runs in task manager briefly and then up and dies.
Is it normal that windows asks if it's alright for Diablo 2.exe to make changes whenever I run it?

Edit2:
Rebooting my machine seems to have corrected it, for whatever reason!

On hardcore I find sorc to be more of a liability until you've gotten a safer character to find her items. On softcore I love her. I'm at 22 now.

This happened to me when I put the base game folder on the desktop. It worked when I moved it to C: drive.

Also, I'm still getting the random crashes, and I appear to be missing d2hackit.ini. Is that supposed to be included with the goontopia files? PlugY files seem to be there. But none of the hack commands work as far as I can tell and game still crashes every so often.

EDIT: Okay, so every time I hit tab to open the minimap, my game immediately crashes. What's up with this? I'm on Win7.

Same problem for me. I was able to get the map hack to work the first time I installed it, after that it crashed every time.

My crash appears to only occur when mousing over items in the inventory, but not 100% of the time. I have no idea.

I'm on windows 10 with an nvidia card and everything works. What's your and anyone elses gpu that's not able to play? Hope it's something like the geforce experience/raptr loving you over and easily fixed by disabling optimizations for diablo2 or you got the xbox app trying to record poo poo in the background.

Oh its back that is exciting. Was literally just playing some MedianXL and a few other mods waiting out MedianXLs newest most biggest update for reals (its totally coming you guys)

that and watching Aftermath development still.

I'm always done for some ES though. Its been sad times since I don't know if any of you remember the PhrozenKeep subforum where MetropolisMan ran tournaments all the time.

I don't know when you last played but you can definitely have a "big horde that does the work" WD now

Of course it's still smaller than the screen stuttering chaos of a real necro

Server crashed, so we're taking the opportunity to patch a couple things.

In the future, if the server ever crashes, it will restart after 1 minute... so don't panic too hard.

Updates:
  • Passworded games work now
  • The news works now
  • Buffs to drop rates for clones and cows

Clones = Nihl bosses in Fake Note Factory, Andariels in the Dressing Room, etc.


Had a couple hiccups but the server is stable again now, sorry for the unexpected disconnections.
