    Perform a fresh reinstall @Teebee and make sure you remove any previously installed instances as well. Start the game as default and with no 3rd party tools once you've downloaded and installed our launcher.

    is there a way to let the maphack show the different levels of the monster in the hp bar, as in the "original" version of the game?

    Hello.
    I wish to upload a few screens with my tailored D2GL setup.
    No problems yet. Everything works fine.
    I am running the game fullscreen. I have noticed that the ALT + Enter combo works like in most other (modern) games - switching window mode and fullscreen.
    Pics:
    1. My default window mode:

    2. Text using D2GL, in chat:

    A random screen running D2GL:

    This is my D2GL setup:

    And the save and exit game menu:

    Thank you very much for this experience!

    Yes. I am using Sting`s Maphack.
    Same situation. Only while killing Nihlathak.
    Game, indeed, doesn`t crash, I receive no errors. The instance just vanishes suddenly.
    I think it was too early to make a tribute.

    That makes it only with Sting Maphack and D2GL combined together , when i use BH.DLL it's okay but can't find a solution with Sting + D2GL running together without having that drop something is causing it but no idea for now. You Can Play normal standard window mode with Sting Maphack it's all fine.

    I suggest disabling/turning off all D2GL settings in that case and turning them on one by one, testing Nihlathak runs in between. Once you find the option that triggers that behavior, you can send me a PM here.

    PS: Don't forget to note down the name and change shaders as well.

    Hi.
    I changed the shader. Up to now, it works sweet.
    50 Nihlathak runs - no drop.
    The shader I`m using is this : anti-aliasing\aa-shader-4.0slangp (2 passes)
    This one shader I chose randomly (honestly it looks cool, giving the impression of AAA gaming :) ).
    P.S.: Exactly the same setup, all of D2GL setup except the shader.

    Hello, an update from me.
    I had the same problem, after 10-15 Nith. runs the game drops me. I tried to change my settings exactly same with @sirius_A settings but nothing changed for me. Still 10-15 runs and drop from game without errors.

    What is a resolution (width and height size) for Fullscreen mode when I can see my start menu? 1600x900 is max of D2GL, but the window is not fullscreen. When I mark Fullscreen I can't see my start menu like before I install D2GL.

    Also: How to remove the red text ( To play here you need to download and install the custom server patch from our website ) because I can't see Game servers ??? -- > https://ibb.co/7xtJhdJH

    Upscale shader preset: reshade\bloom (9 passes)
    720 fps to 490 fps eats almost half of your performance compared to xbrz\xbrz-freescale-multipass (3 passes) use only if you have spare performance
    some amazing lightning added to the game

    1068x600 can only be selected when in battle net game pressing escape key -> options ->video options -> resolution
    red text will disappear after entering and leaving your first game



    if you are using BH maphack disable everything in StashExport
    [​IMG]

    I had multiple errors when transferring items (often when hovering items in stash) using 2 instances of Diablo II
    I will still suggest when going for anni or uber use 2 instances of Diablo II in same game to be on the safe side when one of them crashes so you can join the same game again otherwise it will disappear if it was not up for long enough

    had couple of errors since my last topic and never since i did this

    in d2gl features enable all options and restart the game
    (i) nopickup stands for not clicking anything on the ground until you press alt
    for show monster resistance you need to disable show monster resistance in the BH maphack or it will display one over another
    ever since i enabled everything in features in d2gl i havent seen any error
    everything else as stash export even (in BH maphack) can be left on default
    the error was happening usually when opening 2 Diablos to transfer items and hovering over them in inventory or the stash
    when i am quitting the game my 2nd diablo can stay up forever before i see that i didnt closed the game after transfering
    or it can be also the cpu fix that i download from europebattle site not sure which one of those helped but those are the changes that i made so far

    IMPORTANT READ THE POST BEFORE DOING THIS:
    also keep in my mind !!!! xbrz-freescale-multipass 3 passes !!!! in terms of performance and quality compared to the last option which is 1 pass even if you ask internet it will say that 3 passes improves quality as well as performance

    enable motion prediction in features limit the fps with 3 under your monitor refresh rate or use vsync

    multiple monitors have different capabilities they are found on the monitor itself if samsung you have adaptive sync as well as VRR which stands for variable refresh rate
    try switching them on or even if your monitor is GSYNC compatible you should have option start menu -> graphics settings Variable refresh rate also check with it on on it should be on by default
    I dont have it currently on my samsung but its build in the monitor itself so you need to find it in your monitor settings
    when i am using multiple monitor setup I can see even gsync compatible because my other monitor is ASUS
