It added ability to purchase Mana Potions from vendors, Uber Diablo ( Annihilus), new Horadric Cube recipes (creating Zod-bugged items) and ability to register account to email. 1.10 (2003) introduced the first Ladder, skill synergies, made reaching level 99 harder, added the most powerful runewords like Enigma and Ladder-only items, which made mercenaries very powerful: Infinity, Insight, Faith etc.

1.09 (2001) altered properties of many items, producing a wide selection of 09 legacy items. It introduced level requirement for Ancients quest and many popular 08 legacy items which can still be purchased today. 1.08 (2001) buffed runes, items and their drop rates. Most of the pre-LOD legacy items come from this patch, like rare boots with stats that can't spawn anymore (20% FHR, Str, 50 res). New mechanics included skill cooldowns, weapon switch and much more immune monsters on Hell, which made them more challenging. It added Act 5, Druid & Assassin, bigger stash, runes & first runewords, charms, jewels and exceptional/elite set/unique items. 1.07 (2001) was released with Lord of Destruction (LOD) expansion. They addressed connection and server stability issues. 1.01-1.06 were released shortly after Diablo 2 launch in the year 2000. We listed only the biggest, most important game changes. That being said, it all points to either a GPU problem or a screen resolution problem.Every patch changed some mechanics, fixed bugs and duping methods, balanced monsters, items and class skills. Sure it was running in 800圆00 on a 1650x1050 monitor, but at least it was fullscreen, so I couldn't complain about such an old game. Certainly no HC for me.Īnd It's a shame really, I remember playing the same game on the same windows 7 version on my desktop, which wasn't that old really, and everything worked just fine. And it's as ugly as it is annoying, I keep clicking outside the window, resulting in random deaths. The only fix is running in windowed mode. Basically, I've tried every combination I could think of, just to be sure and thorough (and maybe a little paranoid lawl). Note that I've tried all that with and without compatibility mode (xp sp2, xp sp3, win7), with and without administrator rights.

Every time it wouldn't start (unhandled error: access violation exception) unless I started in windowed mode. I've tried restarting my laptop and reinstalling the game altogether, testing at every checkpoint: vanilla d2, then with LoD, then with realm installer. I've been getting them before I had any MH on (using sting mh).
