I've got a pinned post if anyone wants to join us (it's free and pretty easy). We haven't worked out a voice chat to use, but we've ruled out two so far. I can throw some gear at you and catch you up, we'll go kick around a big titty poison bitch until she screams and drops us some loot :shroomper_fi:
We're not on battle net we're using Median XL (mod overhaul with private servers). You won't be able to transfer characters over, and the builds are very different (8 unique skill trees per character etc) but you should come play with us sometime dude.
Thanks for dissuading me from moving over to linux btw guys, I think it's easier to de-gay/bloat micropeen OS than deal with this shit. It only took me like 5 minutes to set up.
@Sui@Decayable@Formerly_Trucks@BowsacNoodle@ForbiddenDreamer@Morghur I did not, I'll go thru some forums today but willing to bet it has to do with either my installation of Diablo thru Lutris or the directories I'm running Median in. What I read last night, clean install is the first step.
@EnnaComa@Sui@BowsacNoodle@Decayable@Formerly_Trucks@Morghur Almost fuckin got it, though it was a clusterfuck because I don't know what I'm doing and half the download links are dead. >install wine zenity curl unzip jq wmctrl fuse2 xdelta3 dosbox (fuse2 might be libfuse2, try that if you get an error) >Install d2LoD through lutris There's a version that includes meridian xl, but it always hung up for me, but it still gets you the base game + expansion pack >extract d2launcher & res folder to the game directory github.com/murkl/d2launcher/archive/refs/tags/4.1.1.tar.gz >run d2launcher and apply the meridian xl patch The game kind of runs at this point, but the rendering is jacked with part of the game cut off the display, thus >in d2launcher, >settings>edit configuration>change -3dfx under d2args to -ddraw I had the d2args line in there twice by default so I just deleted one. Apparently you need something called sigma2 to play online, not sure if that's standard or if that'll be an additional step. I got everything running and can play single player, but it hangs when trying to join an online match. Creating an online game works though, so who knows what's next.

It definetly sounds better. I recently beated the expansion with a barbarian and i was kinda itching for more. But going through nightmare seems like a drag tbh
Yeah, I have a bunch that Decayable found in the pinned thread. It'll only try to verify them if you use the official battle net servers, they work fine for single player or private servers
