Hello,
I installed the Diablo2 LoD Expansion 1.09 patch to my system and ran it using the d2loader.exe made by dRES and dARWIN, which was supposed to work only for 1.08.
As far as I can see it works for 1.09 as well. There was a poster that mentioned in another post that the players simulation feature doesn't work. I have tried it out and it seems to work. The "Players x" command is case sensative so typing in "players x" will not activate the simulation. I typed in "Players 8" and immediately all the monsters got very very tough.
So congratulations and big thanks to dRES and dARWIN for creating a crack that works in the future too

. I wonder if it will continue to work for 1.10? Ssshhh don't tell Blizzard that
