UUUUggghhhh! So I was cutting down on the extensions and some how hosed my OS. In the end I had to do a clean install. What a mess. As soon as things are fully running again I'll …

It is working great on my iBook SE 128 megs, full extension set with VM on. Not a single crash, runs fast enough although the cursor is sometimes a little hard to control with the …

From what I've read here and at MacFixIt it seems that 128 MB of RAM is the sweet spot for this game. Graphsim should state that 128 is the minimum memory to run the game NOT 64 MB…

From what I can gather, and I haven't played the game on a Mac yet, the problem is install size. You say that the CD is constantly whirring...well this would lead me to believe tha…

I did the "reccommended install" of 900 MB (allows multiplayer & single player). I suppose I could have done the "Full Install" of 1.5 GB, but the installer tells me that all t…

Can you make an image of the CD and run it off that? That way it totally avoids the iMac's CD Drive which isn't that fast. But if you want to conserve your hard drive space, then I…

From what I'VE heard, stories of Diablo II running perfectly on an iBook of any kind should be few and far between. Firstly, the iBook only has HALF of the minimum required video m…

I think we're stuck until the next blizzard update. I'm running diabloII on my pismo 400 and have experienced similar problems. they seem to disappear after i've been playing the…

When I run the game, I always use a utility called "Finder Quitter" to, obviously, quit the finder first so that I can allocate as much physical memory as possible to the game. I d…

So, I'm not sure if you all are experiencing a problem with the ATI card not being supported in D2, but in case you haven't seen tips floating around the web... This link contains…

Yeah, I have seen both of those... haven't tried them, though, because D2 must recognize the card if it allows me to run in RAVE mode (and why would I want to use OpenGL if RAVE is…

Here's my experience with D2... I'm on a G4/450 w/384 megs of RAM and the latest drivers/updates etc. (200 megs assigned to D2) First, tried full install of D2 onto a partition th…

I wouldn't expect the performance of Diablo 2 to change much between now and any patches that come out. Some of the problems you're talking about seem more RAM related than anythi…

The box says that 64 MB is bare bottom, and runs perfectly on a friend's brand new PIII 800 with 96 MB (and a 48x CD drive), so I still think It's CD access time, not RAM, that is …

Isn't the stock Toshiba 5x DVD also 24x CD? I've had no problems with it. Don't think D2 really uses the Movie CD yet, except maybe the intro movie (couldnt' tell 'cuz I got both c…

If I recall correctly, there isn't that much of a functional difference in CD read times above 24x. I doubt that the CD is what's causing the problems. Do a full install and if the…

Well, if VM causes sluggishness, I will turn it off! I do have 128 MB of physical RAM, so if I allocate 120-or-so MB to D2 and quit the finder, will speed noticeably increase?

The 1.03 beta patch for Diablo 2 fixed my crash bug, but I was disappointed to see that the game isn't as silky as I had expected. I'm used to playing on my friend's P3/550 with 2…

Diablo II Performance Problem SOLVED For those of you experiencing laggy D2 performance, especially when it involves the CD drive flogging away at the disc, here's one more thing …

Where do we PUT that sound file, TheGib??? I WANNA KNOW!!!

Put it in the Diablo II Files folder with similar files such as Diablo II Graphics, Diablo II Speech and Diablo II Game Data (there may be less there depending on which install you…

Does this prevent D2 from using the identical file on the Play Disc? Just wondering... I don't want to have this thing eat up 350 MB of space if it won't even be used by the game.

Well, I just connected to Battle.net and I was updated to v1.03. And I must say... The framerate has increased A LOT. Now it runs silky smooth almost all the time (with 128 MB real…

Yeah, it uses the one on the hard drive as opposed to the one on the Play Disc. I know this for a fact because I used to play it with the music on the CD, and I could consistently…

I found the same improvement by turning the music off. The only thing that bugs me is the stupid save and exit concept. I like the way it forces you to play your character properl…
