I didn't get people's obsession with D2SE, in fact I hated it because I never tried it. Then 2017 came and every SP player who didn't use D2SE had to do it now because PlugY was broken otherwise. So I got myself D2SE and it's actually much better, the installation process of d2 is shortened for example (I used to reinstall a lot). Without d2se it was like this:
>install d2 + lod
>install patch 1.13c
>install mxl
>install plugy
>install glide
>run vid test
and with d2se it's simply:
>install d2 + lod
>install d2se
>d2se files for mxl
>mxl itself
also with D2SE the loading screens go way way faster for some weird reason, personally I like d2se more.
