I appreciate the step by step guide to the installation! However, I am running into a rather annoying issue. The game boots fine and runs fine but occasionally when I exit the game, I get an error saying Plugy cannot create the extended stash file or Plugy cannot create the shared stash file. Every time this happens, my personal (beyond page 1) or shared stash gets deleted, respectively, depending on the error I get. This does not happen every time, however, I can sometimes go hours without it happening. I realize I can back up my character saves and just copy over them whenever this happens and get my stuff back, however I'd lose any progress I made since I last backed it up, not to mention it would be obnoxious to back up every 10-20 mins.
I backed it up when I stopped playing yesterday, got the error today and if I wanted my stuff back, I would basically lose 6 hours of signet farming on my character. I tried reinstalling the game from my C program files directory to just my C directory and it did not fix the issue. I'm at a loss at this point. I love playing this game on Single Player with the extended stash and it is probably the only way I'll ever play. I never had this issue with the previous version of Median (the one right before 2017, XVC or w/e). I used the exact same setup with d2se and had no problems. If anyone can shed some light on the issue, that would be very much appreciated!
Edit: The only other thing I use is borderless gaming to make my game full screen, but again, I used this with the previous version of median and had no issues.
