Most recent version d2x-win32 doesn't require double ESC on my side. Thank you.

Yes, I've got the same opinion. I know that's neither Detonators-related nor SBlive related. Tried to remove these drivers with no luck. But D2x runs perfectly after all.

Sometimes it's good to *smash* *crash* *hit* *ka-boom* the keyboard in anger and solution comes itself.
I am supposed to hit Esc twice while starting the game. Then it lets me in...
Thanks for advices.

Diedel, could you please kindly provide list of command-line switches for d2x-win32? I'd like to try it in "safe mode"..

I wonder what could happen in 1.2.xx... still doesn't run. I've tried to do fresh install of D2 and d2x-win32, tried to remove .INI file, tried to set XP -> 98 compatibility mode.. with no luck.

Neither moving PLR and SG files nor replacing INI helps. Still the same.

May I ask you to compile this 1.1.46? I personally don't have any compiler.. Let's give it a try..

Didn't catch previous. Last working 1.1.46. Is there any archive?

Unfortunatelly 1.2.4.0 doesn't launch at all.. just black screen, moving cursor and 99% of CPU eaten..
WinXP SP2, nVidia Detonators 66.93. D2X-win32 has been running fine until now.

.44 version: * broken headlight (already mentioned) - yellow power is being consumpted but there is no light at all. * shots are not emitting enough light IMHO.. I got used to shoot from time to time in dark places instead of using flares but now it is useless. * can't see any difference between ...

Oh yes, that will be it! Some basic documentation would be appreciated.. such great work deserves it. How comes that you can, Diedel, manage graphic engine, sound related code, networking system...? Are you all-in-1?? :D BTW: I have some doubts about invisibility orb functionality- although I'm ...

Can't select old player in .40 either. MOUSE RELATED QUESTION: my mouse started to behave differently in d2x-win32: I have had it quite fast while playing but after replacing .ini file with that provided in ZIP archive, mouse speed is back in "oldskool mode" - the faster I move it the slower ship ...

I must say that D2 is finally playable for me again with all candies it brings! Thank you Diedel. Looking forward to all new improvements.. (maybe 22k sound but it is not essential)

Sorry sorry for wrong info - I've always fiddled with -sound22k and -sound44k (oh silly me). The option -sound11k sounds a bit ugly but I can live with that and no crackling is noticable. Music issues: only title song is played in main menu. After entering first level, midi stops playing at all ...

I'll try D2X-win32 on various systems (different soundboards) and will inform you.

Tyranny: thanks for hints.
a) i have already fiddled with samplerate before - crackling is not cleaned up - it can be just somewhat "covered" in overall low-quality 11k but it's still there.
b) I'm always doing clean "unzip" to my old DOS D2 not to have anything mixed..

Hi there, I was very very suprised about development of D2X-win32 in the year of 2005 - just AMAZING! There is one great BUT - I'm standing in the queue with those who have problems with crackling and shattered sounds. I've tried many D2X builds and the sound is quite smooth in them (even when using ...
