I thought that was for offline only?

Finished the alpha with sorc, fireball and firewall. I was pretty impressed overall. Act2 performance was noticeably worse than Act 1 which i assume will be fixed. 6700k and rtx2070 i was getting anywhere from 60-90 fps on max settings at 1440p.

Lighting was awesome. This will look amazing on an OLED screen if anyone is using one as a monitor.

Unfortunately the shared stash does not work with the cracked alpha so i probably won't try other characters. Most of them aren't fun until after level 30 anyway.

Only gameplay critique, i had a few hit detection issues here and there. Fireballs that should have hit did not trigger. Also some sound/animation desyncs. I dont see how those are fixable if the base game is at 25 fps and the remake is uncapped but i'm no programmer.

Then the cracked version should be, too. It still falls under SP here tho, since it isn't online. I know, semantics, lol.

I tried playing with my brother and as soon as he connected both our games crashed, lol.

We tried multiple times, so I don't know if LAN works as well.

Well looks like you are on the other team then.

I can't stand others playing with me. Also it really complicates things that I will always have to rely on others: Do you have time now to play? No i don't I'm doing socialization with other people. Not now. Im not in the mood. etc.
Without relying on any other living creature, I only depend on the HW, electricity and myself.
(Lets stop at this layer, and not go into other deeper ones)


Even in Borderlands they say it's much better with friends. No it's not, hectic, everyone is all over the map while enemies are stronger and are in much larger numbers. Chaotic.
Also talking over the mic really kills the experience for me.

Anyone got a link to a guide on how to unlock the other acts (3, 4, 5) or at least the nightmare/hell difficulties?

Works fine for me, make sure to use TCP/IP so progress is actually saved.
If nothing works try to run the installation command again, I had to fuck around with it a good number of times before I didn't get the SystemException error, might have something to do with that.


Tried all that, nothing unfortunately. Thing is, im not getting any error. It just goes back to main menu, thats all.

No bugs here, it's pretty great.

Of course it's only the first 2 acts, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

And there is a saying about not rushing things that need time to grow. Being a smartass dont really help anything. Its called alpha, and i assume its called alpha for a reason. And if thats also a bad assumption then i aint the problem here

You can say that again. I was in my first year of high-school when this game released. Man, where has the time gone? Crying or Very sad

I never thought I'd see the day, where I can play Diablo 2 couch potato and in bed on a tablet, lol.

Anyway,

https://github.com/ferib/D2R-Offline

Is now nicely updated. No need for anything else anymore.

it also has integrated all classes and acts/difficulty unlocked (act 3 to 5 only in legacy mode)

And with the argument -FixLocalSave added, it allows to play in SP (instead of TCP/IP) which means shared stash working.

Can be added to steam as non-steam and then played remotely with Steam link Smile


EDIT: Actually, do NOT use the argument -FixLocalSave!

It will turn all quest finished, without the rewards. Weird decision...

anyway, there is an unlocker (online) here:

https://dschu012.github.io/d2s/

Just choose your save file and check Unlock Hell and save D2R. This will also Unlock All acts and all difficulties, but only Mephisto and Diablo Kill Quests are done.

It doesn't have the new remade cinematics. It still has the old cinematics with a placeholder logo added to them.

Smooth FPS isn't a thing anymore?

"Our eyes can't register more than 25 fps anyways!"? Laughing have we gone full circle?

Here's what it does btw:

Turns the game into a well behaved DirectX 11 title on Windows 10 (also 7, 8 and 8.1).
High quality scaling to fit modern screen sizes, including widescreen aspect ratios.
High FPS mod using motion prediction, bypassing the internal 25 fps limit. Play at 60 fps and higher! (video)
Anti-aliasing of specific jagged edges in the game (sprites, walls, some floors).
Seamless windowed/fullscreen switching with (ALT-Enter).
Improved fullscreen: instant ALT-TAB and low latency.
Improved windowed mode.
Proper gamma/contrast.
Fixes a few window-related glitches in Diablo II itself.
