#DIABLO 2 SAVE LOCATION FULL#
Then, go to where you saved the installation files and find the file "Installer.exe", Right-Click it and choose "Run as administrator" to allow it Full Permissions to the files it needs to acess. This means, that when the Downloader is finished (the 'mostly blue menu' will turn into a 'mostly red menu'), Exit the installer for now. One way around this issue (for example, with the "unable to open archive" message), is to interrupt this automated process, after the Downloader retrieves the installation files it needs. This means that for most, when the Downloader (which has a mostly Blue menu interface, shown just above) is finished retrieving the Installation files, it will then try to run the Installer itself (which has a mostly Red menu interface, shown just below) - and if neither of these are running in Administrator Mode (to allow full access permission to files it needs to work with), it may not be able to alter/change the files it needs to - and these messages may come up and you may not be able to continue installing the game. The Diablo II Downloader 'doing it's thing'. This is because the first error message above suggests a "file access" problem (it couldn't alter the file it needed to change, which is usually a Permissions issue) and the second message was a protective, warning measure (which may appear anyway, regardless of running it in Administrator Mode). So, I went to the Battle.Net site and downloaded the latest version of the Installer for Diablo II - which can be obtained by logging in at the site and going to "Manage My Games (Account Management)" and then D2 can be found under "Classic Games", at the bottom of the game list. I assumed that the Installer was a little confused about things, as it was also using the 'new Saved Games location' talked about above, but it didn't know where D2 was actually installed to.
#DIABLO 2 SAVE LOCATION WINDOWS 10#
This was understandable, since I was running it from an old installation folder - one that Windows 10 didn't automatically 'know about', since installing 10 as a Dual-Boot with Windows 8.1 - I hadn't gone through the Diablo2 Installation Process with Windows 10, at this point. I looked around the BattleNet forii, but nothing was being said - at least about problems with the Installer doing this - so I did some Troubleshooting of my own and found that Diablo2 wasn't listed in the Programs and Features section ("Uninstall or Change a Program") of the Windows Control Panel. Īt the time, these buttons did not work at all. The above location assumes that C: is your main Windows drive/partition (where Windows is installed to, which is created and used automatically, by Default) and it should also be noted that your User Name or Login Name goes where it says "".

The above location is now where your ".D2S" and ".MAP" files are kept (your Character's save game information) - and where we'll be going to get Ladder-Only Runewords working in Single Player mode in a bit.
#DIABLO 2 SAVE LOCATION PATCH#
Here though, I want to get into the changes that I noticed with these Patches, how the game worked in Windows 10 for me personally, and how Windows seems to handle the game files themselves now.įor example, the Save Games for Diablo2 are no longer kept within the Installation Directory (the folder where the game is installed to) - as of Patch 1.14 they are now located at: Although I did not personally have any issues with these Updates, some people have, as can be seen if you browse the Support Forum for Diablo II (under "Classic Games" at BattleNet). Thankfully Blizzard have learned from the mistake they made with Warcraft 3's remaster, which forcefully 'upgraded' the original game to an inferior version.For those of you interested in playing (or never stopped playing) Diablo 2, you may have noticed there was both a Ladder Reset (on May 17th) and some new Patches (up to 1.14 now). It's worth noting again that no, Resurrected isn't replacing original D2. Everything's fine.ĭiablo 2: Resurrected is due to launch later this year, costing £35 on. See, Baal just dropped a Stone Of Jordan! Everything's fine. Siphon petrol from their lawnmower to boil water from the rain barrel for your Pot Noodles. Tap into their pond pump's power line for your laptop. Try to move back into your old bedroom, but of course someone new lives there so you end up breaking into their shed. Pay £138 for a dusty slab of Jolt Cola off eBay. Press the button which switches from the new 3D look to the original 2D art and it'll be like the past two decades of your life never happened. Just waiting to hop back into farming Nightmare Baal. Given that you-yes you-recently voted that cloud saves are worse than seeing your legs, I assume you have a floppy disk with your old D2 saves lurking around somewhere.
