Just downloaded the patch and it worked...Have you tried the offline patch?
I added a folder called "save" to one of the directories. That then loaded D2 stopping the crash, but for me it loaded 1.12 (I had upgraded my main install to 1.14) not 1.07. Maybe with the digital version, it doesn't work quite right but maybe as you have the disks that might work for you.I posted this on the Definitive Trenshadow thread, but thought I should post it here as well. I am trying to set up the Trenshadow version switcher, but I am getting the same error messages that jimsfriend was getting in post #38, however as my install is version 1.07 I can't use the same fix he did. Here is what I did to attempt to get the version switcher working:
1) Clean install of D2 from my original CDs (marked 1.0 and 1.07 respectively) on a computer that never had D2 installed.
2) Followed instructions in the Definitive thread other than the no-CD fix.
3) Had the LoD (marked 1.07) version in the disk drive.
4) When I try to open version 1.08 (or any other version) I get the following error:
![]()
When I run RecoverFromCrash.VBS I get the following error:
![]()
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't tried the FearedBliss version switcher yet but that may be the next step.

2) the scrolling characters before the game starts. Not sure there's a fix for this but thought I'd mention it in case anyone has any pointers.
