Hey guys, does anybody know how to install sigma without launcher but do it the old way ( copy patch files over vanilla diablo 2 and then play from that folder ) ?

I tried following this link https://www.reddit.com/r/MedianXL/comme ... _xl_sigma/
but I got an error and can't seem to get it to work without the installer.

make sure you cleared the old installation from your computer,

by going to software deinstallation, deinstall the mxl launcher from sigma

redownload it,

find the correct spot for the installation, incase your D2 directory, where you want to put the installation in

and follow the steps with the installer

if there comes an error,

you did something wrong in the steps to install it correctly,

then it is better to start new

and delete old directories before

i recommend clearing any registry from last hours from failed mxl sigma installations first

there is an app data directory, it gets the launcher information aswell, make sure, that you delete all before try to new install it
its in the admin app data directories, in the end its called Median XL

you can find all stuff by using the programm: Everything

its an searching programm, very good for using

try to find all Median XL directories and sort them out, that have been created today, delete them

then start over a new installation from scratch


best regards

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I tried this one and it doesn't work. It gives me an error when I try to open the game. Furthermore the error message is impossible to close. As soon as you close it it instantly pops up again. I can't even close it properly with task manager by killing the process. The only way is to restart the computer. :/
