If you were one of the many players upset that your mercenaries went crazy in last month’s unexpected update to Diablo 2, you’ll be happy to hear a new patch is now available that remedies that situation, as well as letting the player force the game’s glide wrapper to load:
- Howdy All,
- We are releasing 1.14b for Diablo II today. We will take the servers down at 1000 Pacific and expect the maintenance to last 4 hours. Patch notes:
- Specific Changes & Improvements
- Glide Wrapper will now load properly on PC by adding -3dfx to the end of the game shortcut
- Mercenaries will no longer become “An Evil Force”
- Fixed Mac client crash on “Save & Exit”
- Capped the frame rate to 200 to save batteries, spare system load, and prevent hot lap syndrome
- Created new German installers to fix localization issues in Act V (Will require a fresh install to fix the missing dialogue data)
The patch was deployed on Friday, so players who may have abandoned Diablo 2 do to the previous update can now log in and receive the fix directly from Blizzard’s server.
