EDIT: it seems that all of what i did is unnecessary. you can simply follow the guide to manually install median using crossover, start the Diablo II from your bottle with "-w" and sometimes it works (1 out of 20 times) and the rest is c000005 .....

Hey guys. I was able to get it running on Mac using Crossover (but only 2 times... very strange)
I did the following:
I installed D2 + LOD and manually copied over the MedianXL files. Then I started Windows 10 in Parallels Desktop, mounted my Mac file system and used Windows Explorer to go into the CrossOver D2-Install-Directory (something like /Users/<myname>/Library/ApplicationSupport/CrossOver/Bottles/Diablo2/drive_c/d2", depending where you installed it)
there is the Diablo II.exe, i created a shortcut, named it "d2_window" and added the "-w" parameter.
Now in CrossOver you can right click your D2-bottle and select "Run command..." and just select the shortcut ("d2_window.lnk") you created.
I think this should work with running directly from CrossOver and adding the -w parameter somehow but most of the time it doesnt...
Also this works once, then c000005 errors all the time. sometimes system restarts help, sometimes not. I cant see any pattern here. Any ideas about this?
