Thanks. Much appreciatedSven's Glide allows for captured mouse. See here: http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/.
D2 just likes to hog CPU from what I've seen, particularly in older patches. In those older patches you want to set the process affinity to just use a single processor (crucial with multi-instance). This can be done in task manager. I don't think glide wrapper has anything to do with it. But if it does, then it is probably better to just use the 1.14 wrapper provided by blizz, though I don't think it supports captured mouse.
The settings look just fine to me, but I'm not an expert. I'm not aware of any NVidia specific settings. Unfortunately can't cross-reference my own settings for a week as I'm away from my desktop.
Were you able to get a second install of 1.07 working? I started up playing 1.14d again about two weeks ago, and I'm thinking about running some 1.07 racks for eth weapons. Or, just min damage charms.Thanks a lot, I'll give feedback!
Other real-life activities made me postpone 1.07 as I couldn't have time to complete 1.14D goals AND start 1.07 stuff, so I can't help on that point, sorry :-/Were you able to get a second install of 1.07 working?

I also have windows 10, and I'm not sure how to get it working. Do I need ISOs?
Any help is appreciated!
Okay, thanks for replying! What bothers me, is that I've gotten it working before, but didn't think to record how!Other real-life activities made me postpone 1.07 as I couldn't have time to complete 1.14D goals AND start 1.07 stuff, so I can't help on that point, sorry :-/

Check out my post here about getting 1.07 to work if you don't have the physical discs.
I also forgot to mention some tweaks you can do:
You can create a shortcut to LaunchModGame.vbs so that you can use command lines:
If you want to self-MP to simulate /playersx, delete the d2gfx.dll in the 1.07 directory and rename d2gfx.dll_1.07 to d2gfx.dll
- -3dfx - if you have Glide installed in the base directory
- -w - to run in windowed mode, or full-screen w/ Glide to prevent cursor jumping
- -noprompt - this will prevent the prompts for creating bin files and windowed mode, launching you straight into the game
It can go on the desktop. Either location works.Should that shortcut still be in the original directory, or can it be on the desktop?
Cool. I got it working, thanks!It can go on the desktop. Either location works.
ETA: Do dll files change from one version to another? I copied the dll files from 1.07 subfolder into the main install folder without overwriting and now the different versions will open, but I don't want to open the characters if the dll files are different resulting in running material from multiple patches in the same instance.
