your d2 needs to be 1.14d. most people ive encountered with this issue were on dl release which is 1.14b. connect to bnet.
Thank you for the help Warren. The mpqfixer is not needed, only patching the game to 1.14d.
Hello I recently installed the French 1.14b client straight from Blizz onto my father's computer and then I saw I needed 1.14d for D2DX to work but I was struggling to find that 1.14d patch file. Connecting to EU or US B.net would not update the LoD, so as a last resort I connected to the ASIA B.net server and luckily that worked !
Why blizzard removed D2 / LoD patches from their FTP I do not understand. It's a pain and will become more and more a problem as more years pass and patches are harder and harder to find.

The patches are still there. They seem to have only "hidden" them from the public for some reason.

Thanks ! I managed to salvage some patches from the ftp by substituting "LODPatch_114d.exe" with other patch names.
Patches in both zip and exe form are available on the bottom of PLUGY website http://plugy.free.fr/en/index.html
I have a downloaded copy from Blizzard. In my case, I had version 1.14b. I executed the file "BNUpdate.exe" to update the game. Now I have version 1.14d, and I can use the D2DX mod.
From the github page:
"I get a message box saying "Diablo II is unable to proceed. Unsupported graphics mode."
You are running the download version of Diablo II from blizzard.com. This can be modified to work with D2DX (Wiki page about this to come)."
The wiki page still isn't up. Please make it so. Searching D2DX on google didn't give me any insight.
