I heard there was a mod that allowed you to play two games of d2 at the same time. Anybody know where I can go to get this?

Go to the url and in the downloads page there is a modified d2gfx.dll. download it and replace it over your old d2gfx.dll. Run a game with your Diablo 2.exe shortcut then open game.exe in your D2 folder and join the game you made.

I did everything, I dl'd the file. I started from the shortcut then I loaded the second game and I tried to connect the two games buyt it didn't work. The loading bar was about 98% full and then it said that I couldn't connect. Is that all I have to do? Or is there anything else I am supposed to do or something else I am supposed to dl? Thanks.

I learned about this trick today and tried it rightaway. After figuring out that I have to be online to succeed, I finally managed to create a game that had two of my characters in it (different ones), using the standard Blizzard patch_d2.mpq. That was pretty cool, especially going hostile and watching my mercs fighting each other.

Now for the sad part: That was the only time I succeeded in creating such a game. After that, I always got the message 'failed to join' when the load bar was almost complete, just as the other poster earlier in this thread described it.

So I know it's possible but I just can't figure out how to make it work in a reproducible way. Could someone more experienced in this matter please elaborate on the details of how to run this thing? Thanks.

i dont think its related to the .dll open thinks your still inside a game and until that data is deleted from the cache u wont be able to join or create games just exit d2 and re enter it
