Diablo 2 VersionChanger by ChaosMarc
With this tool you are able to switch easily between all patch versions of Diablo 2 from 1.00 Classic to 1.14d LoD, install PlugY and create shortcuts to start specific patches.
Installation
- Unpack the VersionChanger.7z into your Diablo 2 install-folder (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II)
- For unpacking I recommend 7zip
Caution: If installed with the new v1.14 digital installers by Blizzard you cannot downgrade your Diablo 2 installation to older patches. When starting the game you will receive only an empty error window. To fix this either use the included MPQFix [8] or install the game with your CDs or the old v1.12 digital installers which can be downloaded in all official languages here
Usage
Run the VersionChanger.bat and select a number/character in square brackets at the beginning of a line.
