Solved cannot connect - game closes when connecting to realm

Hey all trying to start playing, d2 loads fine but then when I click battle.net it says finding fastest server then d2 just closes completely.
What I did so far:
1. Install d2 1.13c
2. Install usabattlenet.exe
3. Run the server regedit file.
4. Excluded diablo 2 folder from bitdefender scans, AND disabled bitdefender
5. Set all exe's to compability XP SP2, and I unblocked the tdagg.dll file

Diablo opens just fine, if I click gateway clearly displayed is "usabattlenet" ... but then I click battle.net it quickly says "connecting to fastest server" then diablo 2 just crashes.
