Set compatibility to win xp. Disable desktop composition. Might help a bit.

What is desktop composition? I am running Windows XP Home.

add -sleepy sleep 1 to your shortcut the same way you add -w for window mode it prevents d2 from using large amounts of your cpu and helps with lag

I will try this and see what happens thanks for the advice. At the current time I am testing this with normal diablo and it is running 97-100% of my processor with me sitting in town. I will post updates as I test further as my char on there has a lot of skills on attack/kill.

try 100 instead of 1 also idk why but it works better on some pcs set to 1 and some set to 100

Just tried 100 and there is no change in the amount of cpu that diablo is using.

what is the source to this technique? it sounds like its not real because if it was real everyone would know about it and use it

it was a blizzard command line option i tried looking it up i guess it got removed tho :/ i know it still works with d2loader

The command is in the registry files but it could just be mine.

Anyways, lets keep this on topic. If you have just 512 mb ram, theres nothing we can really do about it.

Apologies if mentioned but i could not find any confirmation in the main posts about wherever Sigma is released or not. Im assuming its not released yet, correct?

not yet, alpha should be out by january *fingers crossed*

Oh wow. Ohwell. Something i gotta look after for next year then. And yes lets hope indeed

what about adding into the game a new uberquest, quite well appreciate 4 most of diablo funs, i ponder...
''The Chamber of Bones!''. It would be great come back to the very best begginings of diablo story. also it would be the great occasion to gain some powerfull oskills and unique items, cannot be found in any other locations in the game! but, ofc, it should take a risk of being beaten or trampled by the Horend Demons. but what Median players won't do 4 some new stuff?
but, i'm just thinking, U know ^^
