    Quite a bit of time since i left this server. Because game were unplayable for my 10 year old computer.
    Now i think'in about return to play. But i'm curious how to solve lags those are made after "integrated anti hack system". Yes its maybe my own problem, but still game were running perfectly even with 5 open windows.

    Now i would be happy to run at least two windows without lags but seems i cant do it. Only one window may work fine. Second one bring huge fps. I know the answer: Program is simple, program does nothing with my pc etc.. but i can see reality not theory that i cant play. Where is the problem ? I have very low integrated VGA. But still before that major update :D i can play diablo fine.


    Have not played this game for year or so. And hoping something new were found to solve this.

    My computer is now 10 years old. Idk what you got exactly. I have a Hp and its got like 2g ram and 1.87 processor with crappy graphics card. I can run 2 windows Ok. but one screen is more safe. Pvp is almost out of the question for me since I live in Usa and my ping is like always high.

    2 windows is not achievement for game which i can run perfectly before this update. Im not against this anti-cheat program, but i against troubles this program brings to me. My CPU 2.53 GHz, 2GB ram, but i have VGA like this Via/s3g UniChrome PRO IGP.

    Im only one who find this illogical ? If i can run 4 windows without integrated anti-cheat program without any single little lag ? And cant do same with it ? What should i do ? Why this program slow down my CPU ? I understand that program called anti cheat will stay here. So how to reduce my lags ? Im not trash talking about server or decisions, just tell me what to do ? Except "buying new computer"..

    Have you tried using glide by reading MrHammer's guide? You could open more windows due to the simple patching and no warden checks at all as private servers don't have any sort of anticheats (thankfully we are an exception) but still, it remained unchanged for most users as our warden acts as a separate process and it runs on really low resources. This guard is also adapted to other online games as well and haven't seen any issues either. Once we are done with the server side core I will also apply an update over the guard and I'll be curious to hear if that changed anything for you (it will take a while until we will be able to apply the update though).

    Also you talk about a FPS problem but mentioning this program slows down your CPU. FPS means frames per second so it's more related to the graphic card rather than your CPU. You might also look into a CPU upgrade if that's a single and not dual core (you're ok on the RAM side) as the technology gets cheaper and cheaper.

    Maybe this program keep scanning every move i do. When i open new window etc. For same reason i stopped using antivirus programs. It should work fine with any pc, but keep scanning something always and slow down cpu. Also it might be that when you open multiple windows you also open multiple antihack system for every window. So 3-4 antihack systems keep scanning something(its only theory, im guessing).

    Upgrading computer isnt priority to me. I have what i have and keep using it. If one day i broke it, i sit and watch trough window. My VGA is very old (outdated), same as this game is. Also its reason why i pick this game.

    Yes FPS problems, probably related to my very low integrated VGA. And with that glide i can play with one window, if there is not much action around. For example im soloing, killing few monsters. But when things come to loads of enemys i kinda lose control of my char. Because of lags. FPS jump from low to high seems its unstable. Why i mentioned anti hack program. Seems it scanning something all the time.. Monster i hit etc etc.

    First, here are the system requirements of the game.

    OS - Windows® 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista

    Processor - Pentium® 233 or Equivalent

    RAM - ( 256MB RAM in games with over 4 Players ) Аccording to Blizzard

    Connection - 28.8 KBps or faster modem Up to 8 players over TCP/IP or Battle.net ( Requires low-latency internet connection with support for 32-bit applications ).

    As you can see, most smart phones have a serious system resources.

    Step 1. Fresh installation of the game

    Step 2. Copy all necessary files to play in EuropeBattle. ( I guess you already know what you need )

    Step 3. Once you are ready with everything start VidTest and choose 2D. ( If this does not solve your problem ) Check this Guide And download " Diablo II OpenGL (Glide) Wrapper " Copy Wrapper files into your D2 Folder.

    Step 4. Same as 3. Run VidTest and now Choose glide ( or somethig like this ) Check again. If u you continue to have problems stop your AntiVir program.

    I hope I've helped

    Best Regards

    My pc is more then enough to play diablo ii :) Same with internet connection. My problem begin when this program have to scan actions i do in game. More action = unplayable lags (fps or just lags). For example jump into monster pack and you nearly loosing control. But you can stand in town without any lags. Im not newbie player and i have fast enough playing speed, and this program just move me to noob level i cant walk properly with it. Yes maybe my pc is outdated for that program, but its illogical for me to make simple game unplayable just because of this antihack.

    To be honest i havent teseted gameplay now. Im talk about experience i had after release of this program. I havent tried to play nowdays after like 9-10 months break :) Maybe should i give it a try ? :) i try today (again) and will inform yours what i experience :)

    I'm pretty sure that this program prevents your computer to work properly.

    Most new AntiVirus / AntiHack programs have become extremely heavy and old computers directly " die " Do not forget that they have real time protection that monitors the traffic while you play online, do not forget that.

    We will see what will be your test results.

    Best Regards

    Hmm. After i did d2vidtest and run it as 2d (not3d like i do, always) seems game works pretty good. Even without glide thing from that guide which i had to use ten months ago. Of course i did tests in random games, and only with one open window. But seems i can play again.

    Thank you RoyalAC. May i hear why did you offer me to run vid test as 2d over 3d ? :) Just curious, because there recommended option is 3d.

    Seem, this antihack system really isnt that hard. I cant feel any lag and even fps are ok this time.

    You were right about this antihack system. It does not bring any lags itself. For now game works fine and i hope so it will stay same after update youre planning on. Sorry for pressure i did against it. Solution for me was run d2vidtest as 2d over 3d. Not even 3dglide required. Have a nice day people. See yours around.

    Double post, because cant edit posts in this forum.

    I'm really glad to hear that your problem is solved and I've helped.

    According to this post on Battle.net Forums the difference is

    I hope this helps to explain the difference
