Is it possible to delete items out of an old plugy stash so it's usable in this build?

At the moment I can't use my old stash and that kinda sucks :/

Heya, I've played median from like 2009 tilll 2016. And im coming back

I used to be able to play in windowed mode, by adding -w to my d2 shortcut, but ive just downloaded the latest version, (and the is this little launcher thingy, it's fucking rad)) but yeah, adding the -w to the little launcher thingy shortcut doesnt make the game windowed; any help would be cool

In the launcher resist the urge to press start and click on settings and there the second option is windowed mode, right below Plugy. While you are there also turn on the next 2 options to disable ingame sound and skip straight to multiplayer mode if that's what you like.

if the stash comes from a patch before the last wipe you won't be able to use it . the offline tools won't help .

Hello,
What would be minimum stats to have in order to start farming K3kBA on Terror?

Reason for question: I am playing HC and want to start to farm (slooowly) this location so I can find items to change my TU gear.

I am lvl 90 Paladin (finished LC2) -> I did not progress to Act IV so far (this can wait). I can lvl up more in Act III safely, no problem.
I have 80 all res and some elemental absorb =

for Bear Stance to break immunities and extra DEF.
I have summons (Hoptiles) with minion RES.

First runs will be very slow - probably just to kill skeletons and maybe to try 1-2 totems. I am not looking for full clear yet. I am not looking for fast kills. This will come later on with better gear.

So to repeat the question: What would be minimum stats to have in order to start farming K3kBA on Terror?
DEF? RES? DR%? flat DR?

About the items that will change in sigma, will they be updated in the documentation upon Sigma release?

you can run that place with t6 gear as long as you keep the solar flare on all the time and the hoplites as extra meatshield , no need for godlike gear or godlike stats . jump with DA on the totems , use DJ on them , retaliate for the skeletons . the benefits of retaliate's knockback will be more than welcomed there

see if you can get a Nih rune to replace the Jitan Kamon with an Erawan for more base defense -> more total defense in total . if you're lucky you might also find an amulet with Lightning Arena oskill (or you can roll a magic one if you wish ) - those extra stuns are welcomed

you can proceed to act 2 destruction and acquire the dark tome , then go back to terror and do LC2 .

Just found it, but now i got a new problem; everytime i start the game, i get UNHANDLED EXCEPTION ACCESS_VIOLATION (c0000005)
and when i re-disable windowed, it still gives me that error. I was playing just fine yesterday, so not so sure what happened

Add diablo to your DEP.

If you get a c0000005 error when clicking on "Multiplayer", add Diablo II to Windows DEP as an exception:
Open Explorer, right-click Computer, Advanced System Settings, Advanced tab, Settings in Performance section, Data Execution Prevention tab.
Choose Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select, Add, find Diablo II.exe and Game.exe, add them both and Apply after each.
Restart your computer after adding both to your DEP.

Thank you for advise.
I tried the K3kBA before your post and find out that I am OK with my current stats. Actually I am bit over-geared but I am playing HC so there is nothing wrong with it. Only thing is to be careful by the jungle entrance (almost died there yesterday). Hoptiles are tanking very well, almost no need to re-summon them.
The idea about jumping with DA to totem and retaliate skeletons away from me ... well, that is very nice idea. It is bit kamikaze stile for HC but I will do it once I will have higher DEF to speed up the farming. I am playing poison (melee) / caster (wyrms) hybrid so it is a bit of skill switching -> I don't want to risk death so early.
Oh and last comment: you ment to use the dark portal for BRC and not LC2, right?

I am scared about BRC actually but this will come later on.
