HAVING TROUBLES WITH THE TRADE SITE? PLEASE READ
Over the past few days the site has seen unprecedented levels of traffic with 500GB of bandwidth being transferred in the past day alone. To overcome the challenges this presented, we have done the following: - Disabled any old page that caused MySQL to hang - Added 2 additional web servers that are load balanced - Made considerable changes that made it necessary to change the name of the "logged in" cookie. - Increased CloudFlare security level
IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
IF YOU CANNOT ADD / EDIT / REFRESH A TRADE:
IF NONE OF THIS WORKS:
Feel free to contact me in #website_portal on Discord and I’ll happily add whatever filters, suggestions, or fix it for you.
Thanks for your patience!
If you hard refresh ( https://www.getfilecloud.com/blog/2015/03/tech-tip-how-to-do-hard-refresh-in-browsers/), the buttons will appear.
It must be doing something like simple bilinear filtering though. What I want (and sure, I'm being picky) is better looking graphics using something like xBRZ It doesn't seem like such a stretch to have it implemented either. I know dosbox games can be run through it for instance.
Install AHK -> https://autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe this link, not 2.0.
#If WinActive("Diablo II") ; Ctrl + Wheeldown enables mouse lock to window ^WheelDown::
This is the part that chooses the hotkey to lock the mouse, you can also change it to something else for example to the letter/button L:
#If WinActive("Diablo II") ; Ctrl + Wheeldown enables mouse lock to window l::
If you alt-tab the mouselock is gone, so you have to re-press the L (or whatever button you assigned again) - you have to be having your cursor in the diablo window.

If it still does not work I can do it via teamviewer if you wish - you are also able to make a logout macro via AHK, but imo its not really needed since most people are used to ALT+F4 - in some cases (when the game client freezes and you can't close it - that happend once to me) the logout macro will safe your ass because it terminates the game.exe, no matter if its frozen or not.
In case you are not familiar, Notepad++ is a handy text editor which you can download for free.
Download this custom color scheme here.
How do I install this?
Diablo 2 item filter.xml
).*.filter
. If for some reason that doesn't work, you can manually pick it from the Language menu. You'll find the entry "Diablo 2 item filter" the bottom half with any other user defined languages you may have installed.I'm not a great artist, let me know if you come up with even better colors.
Happy loot hunting!

Edit: as a bonus you can use the shortcut for (un)commenting a line (ctrl + q) by default.
I use DD in fullscreen. Just set it to window mode with -w enabled, and use the BorderlessGaming software to maximize it. You can download it for free at that site.
Why not upgrade the bandwidth for the login server instead of buying another server for splitting SC/HC? It's an OVH server and they offer bandwidth upgrades.

I did an IP lookup on the login server IP. Turns out we are using an OVH server and those servers have amazing hardware, so I'm thinking our lag might be bandwidth not hardware.
I know OVH offers bandwidth upgrade plans and I'm more than willing to donate for these upgrades if our lag is because of the lack of bandwidth.

The server is located in France if anyone is interested in knowing the server location.

Did you get this working yet?
Repeating here for posterity what I mentioned in Discord chat earlier today, what I'd make sure to check is A) that you're using WINE in 32-bit mode. If WINE is running 64-bit, you'll need to delete the .wine directory you're running from and re-create it in 32-bit (the WINE docs are very clear that you cannot simply change architectures, you must recreate), and B) make sure that you have dotnet40 installed to your WINE. Install dotnet40 using winetricks. Install winetricks using brew. Install brew from https://brew.sh/.
The alternative that I use is Lightshot

It looks way easier/faster because you dont have to setup anything, you just install it press the Screenshot button on your Keyboard and you either press right-click to mark everything (also screens both screens) or you just drag what should be screenshoted. You can directly edit the picture or just upload it and copy the Link.
lel so I had the exact same problem which is now resolved.
It was enough to just put the latest patch_d2.mpq from the virtualbox win pod into my pod directory in mac. I am now able to play
I didn't find the mpq on reddit so I put it onto free sharing. It'll be available until 2019.9.11 11:11.:
descreption:
put this file into your pod directory in wine like:
cp /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Downloads/patch_d2.mpq /Users/YOURUSERNAME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Diablo\ II/Path\ of\ Diablo/
note: directories may differ
As a fastmail user, I'd just like to point out that the company allows users to create emails with a lot of domains so these could all be worth whitelisting:
Sometimes it's not about playability, it's about some people being too stupid to figure it out. Maybe give this game a try. Might be more your speed.
Yes I'm obviously very aware of the issues with Chinese internet and the requirement to use a VPN to access this game. I was just inquiring as to if there are any other players that happen to live in China who may know of a good VPN service and moreso if an Astrill server does the job considering that's what I'm currently using.
When I came to China I had ExpressVPN but it was absolutely terrible. Could barely watch youtube, could not watch Netflix. A friend of mine uses Astrill here so I swapped to that and it works pretty good for when we play EFT. I seem to always have the best connection with the Taiwan server on Astrill and I've been trying GS 11 Singapore and GS 26 Tokyo but when I try and play PoD its just constant freezing, stuttering. Makes the game pretty unplayable unfortunately.
