Make a backup of the shared stash and see what happens

[keisuke102]

So without the launcher, I can get online but when I make a game, I get...
Halt
Location:, line #2239
Expression: Unrecoverable internal error 6fd5c664

With the launcher, I click the multiplayer button and I get the c0000005 error. I don't have plugy installed. Using Windows 10. Legit D2 copy. I did the DEP stuff for the whole 2 folder. And I've done the firewall stuff as well.

[Tadace]

Latency. Patch notes says new servers in the US... I'm still connecting to Czech or elsewhere and facing 500-1000 ping which frankly is unplayable. How do I configure to connect to closer servers?

[Swicky2113]

Anyone else feeling MUCH weaker? I am running a bow druid at 41 right now.. and I am just getting STOMPED. I want to do standard meph runs for arcane crystals but I am constantly getting rekt by the moon knights cold. Anyone have tips for getting defense now that MOs are expensive?

Go here: https://tsw.median-xl.com/info
Find whichever server would be closest to you and then while in a online game hit 'Enter' and type "/gs X".

Where "X" is equal to the GS number on the left side of server location.
For example if Los Angeles server would be closest to me I would in game enter the command "/gs 8".
If done correctly you should see a message at the top left saying that your preferred server has changed.
After that restart the game and you should be on the new server.

Copy all files and paste them in your Diablo II directory.
If you use D2SE Modmanager, download this: https://get.median-xl.com/d2se.zip

That's it!

After installing Median download the d2se.zip and extract it to your Diablo II folder then copy the patch_d2.mpq from your install folder and paste it into the MODS/MedianXL folder.
patch_d2.mpq will be around 310MB if you have installed Median.

do/are there procs which benefit from hardskill points / base levels? im quite sure i read about some builds that did stuff like get a doom proc amu on a sin and putting points in doom would give its hardskill benefits to the proc. i dont know if this was just false info/old patch/whatever.

@robinro: I think synergies are the only thing that are accounted for.

Why isn't the staff portion of the horadric staff not dropping?
