Hi
I just made a Fresh install of my d2. Here's what ive done by now:
-Install D2 and D2 LOD

-Remove DEP settings with the bat File

-Open the game once and apply 1.14d Update

-Download the sigma Launcher

-Install the launcher in the D2 directory

The issue i'm currently experiencing is that when i click on the PLAY button of the Launcher, the launcher close and then re-open.
No game window at all, nothing.
Re-installed the game about 8 times by now
Tried comptability modes
Tried Direct 3d and Glide

Ive been looking for a solution since yesterday, but found non actually.
Currently on Windows 10 64 Bit
Ge-Force 1060 6 GB

I really need help!

Set Diablo II.exe to run as an Administrator and in compatibility mode with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and the Launcher as an Administrator and try it in compatibility mode with Windows 7.
Any antivirus security program that might be preventing it from functioning? Try disabling them completely if you have any, to see if it gets better.
Have you tried setting Glide up following this guide?

I have the same Issue. After I start D2 throug Launcher or throug the d2.exe the same thing happens. The process starts and then immediatly stops. In the Morning everything was runnig fine. And now nothing happens. I reinstalled and it is still the same.

i was having this problem

i then took my entire computer -- and formatted it. yes, i erased everything on my laptop (some 80 GB of files) in order to do a complete re-install of windows.

Re-installed D2 + LoD
downloaded Median Launcher

All is fine now -- launches every time and can finally play. Highly recommend
