    You should actually be good using the launcher now without being forced to replace the D2Client.dll by the way so give it a try, but every time there is a new update you should know what to do by now. And I've already told you before why the launcher used to forcefully replace the D2Client.dll file, it's because it contains the updated gold locations for the new graphics and without it, the old UI would look messy.
    Also, D2Win.dll has nothing to do with the CPU Patch.

    Thing is, a very small number of players even require the CPU Patch these days, but more important is that most Diablo players had no idea this ever existed for well over a decade until we shared this patch on our website a few years ago, and since then it started being added as an option in other 3rd party tools as well. Neither did you until I told you to install it and it's a good thing it has a positive impact on low-end laptops.

    That's not quite correct because you wouldn't be able to see separate values for the executable and the library itself to begin with. What happened in your case is, since BH has a separate setting for the CPU Patch, you had that one disabled even if you copied the DLL file. For the CPU Fix to be activated, it needs to be enabled in-game in the BH Settings since the patching code is already integrated within the maphack.

    Overall, Sting is more user-friendly and very easy to configure, even though it's closed source and fairly old, while BH is more modern and has its advantages too so you can't go wrong with either.

    I use Sting because it can be built in and running on Linux I cannot run outside app to inject into game.

    I use the launcher and Sting integrated and it never overwrites these files. I have already updated with the recent patches and played with both integrated Stings and auto gold pickup. Maybe this was an early version of launcher that you saw this behaviour with?

    Hmm, I should check BH again.

    BH tells, when a HR was dropped outside of my view. Sting does not do that. I wonder if I could get the source code of that version of Sting MH we are using here. Sure I would try to build that function into it.

    Sting MH integrated package includes "D2Win.dll" (you can confirm contents with your rar archiver), and Launcher sends me this message (fresh check). What should I think? Is that "D2Win.dll" an unimportant part of Sting MH integrated ?

    You should think that the files are updated for a reason; that's how patch updates work in any game or application. No reason to go too technical about it, the file is responsible for loading other mandatory libraries and 3rd party tools such as Maphacks and it keeps overwriting because you keep using outdated files, which is probably the reason why you always end up with weird errors on your end. You'll be fine with using the CPU Patch and Sting Maphack together without being overwritten by the original library, so run the game straight from the Launcher from here on.

    I just reinstalled D2, so I think, I downloaded the latest Sting MH from the tools page. Is that an obsolete version there? If it is, where can I find the latest? The mentioned D2Win.dll is from that package. Anytime I patch that stuff on D2 folder, the next moment the Launcher patches it. No need to go physical, let just confirm facts, please. As a law-abiding user, I am doing my best here.

    Is the Sting Maphack loading in game or not @ameth? If it does, then you're all good.

    It does load. I hope, whatever the Launcher downloads, fully backward compatible with whatever the Sting MH package included.

    the inf
    (i am aware of this situation before you even post it thats why i said important note)
    Hey there, I've removed this part from the guide since glide3x.dll has been removed from the maphack archives.
    That was mainly added for the old widescreen resolutions.
    IMPORTANT NOTE if you installed maphack which replaces glide3x.dll after you installed D2GL it will give you an error after the test so overwrite again with everything from D2GL.zip and run the test again !no error should appear!

    when something is important it doesnt need to be edited

    the post has been edited by moderator at D2GL guide
    so he deleted important info
    when you are installing D2GL and after that your maphack the glide3x.dll is getting replaced with older version so you need to replace everything again with the file(glide3x.dll) from D2GL
    glide3x.dll was removed from the maphack zip hours ago so it cant mess with further installations of D2GL

    More information about this old error has been posted in this thread https://forum.europebattle.net/threads/glide-wrapper.539863/ at the very end (5) so basically it's just an annoying error "thanks" to one of Microsoft's Windows updates for old games which can be safely ignored by clicking OK and it only pops once when you Run Test in D2VidTst.exe that's all.

    So, first things first, have you updated your game client via the Launcher? Also, please confirm whether you are getting this error when you exit the game as well or only when you run D2VidTst.exe and close it afterward. You shouldn't be getting the error outside the one time you may need to run a test in D2VidTst.exe and you can safely ignore it by clicking OK.

    if you have only 60 hz monitor theres no reason to unlock you fps but if you follow the guide


    IMPORTANT NOTE: You can check show FPS in the Features tab and disable VSYNC in Screen tab (when doing changes in Screen tab you need to apply them at bottom right corner) to see how much FPS at the bottom center of your screen you lose or gain by using different upscale shader preset as well turning on and off FXAA make sure you are using VSYNC after you are done with all the settings (otherwise your game can run with 1000 fps and your pc will be just hotter without any visual gains from such a high fps)
    follow the steps and the guide there Guide - D2GL | EuropeBattleNet Community Forum
    instead of enabling max foreground fps which defaults to 60
    you can only enable max foreground when you disable vsync so dont do anything that you are not familiar with

    There is a proposal for the quest Larzuk to increase the cost of the quest to 30 million, 50k does not make any sense, this quest has a very valuable meaning. For the quest Chars, I suggest increasing the cost to 2 million. Then the value of gold will be significant

    I suggest canceling the many shrines that affect you, firstly it doesn't match the game, secondly it doesn't look nice. What was bad when only one shrine affects you. And it's not clear why when you take the well the curse doesn't go away from you and as a result both the shrine and the curse affect you, not good

    This is not a suggestions thread @R2D2V2 so please use the appropriate forum for that https://forum.europebattle.net/forums/suggestions.846/ in the future. Gold values on those two quests are currently at their max values, Larzuk quest has also been free until this update, so for now it will only charge a small amount of gold besides, it wouldn't make sense for this to cost more than the imbue quest either.

    As for your second post (which I merged because it was a double post) I suggest you read the previous ladder Patch Notes https://forum.europebattle.net/thre...runewords-new-level-85-areas-and-more.547205/
    Both changes are ported over from D2R and they definitely match the game as they were implemented by the game developers themselves.

    Encountered the same before (no extra socket at Larzuk, no extra imbue at Charsi, and no refresh button at Gheed). Not sure, which dll update was the problem exactly (D2Client and D2Win are my candidates), but after starting the game from the launcher, the issue gone away.
