But the 1.8 patch introduced unplayable lag for me. I haven't made a hardware or software change to any components or network adapter since 2015 so it can't be that. I've played and continue to play a dozen other online games with no problems whatsoever. Median is the only game that doesn't work.
I've posted here before for suggestions and tried all the uninstallation and clean install stuff possible. Which also doesn't make sense that it could be the problem since I hadn't touched the D2 folder since I installed Median XL 1.0. Also tried this network adapter manager tool thing as suggested by someone that replied to my thread and fiddled with the settings which didn't do anything. There were a few other things I did, it's been several months so I can't remember all the steps. But I did everything under the sun.
I guess I've pretty much given up on enjoying this mod anymore since apparently it's "my fault" that a patch made the game unplayable when it was working perfectly fine literally the day before the patch came out.
It wouldn't be as big of a deal if the content wasn't season-only like the goblins. I've played single player Median exclusively until last year and am perfectly happy doing so, but putting in online-only material basically alienates me with these lag issues.
Nobody cares, I know. I think I'm pretty much only making this post to complain anyway. But it makes me feel better, so here we are.
