Why go though all that trouble, i guess you guys are just really impatient or something.

How about somebody leaks a Diablo 2 1.10 patch??? Been waiting longer for this than for DNF.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

I reinstalled 1.2, reinstalled 1.31 and installed 1.4. Took ~2 minutes and worked perfectly. Heard people who had problem went through this procedure and got it up and running.

Tried it on a server just now, seems like there was some really cool new features implemented, not just bugg-fixes, but new weapons and added functionality...

Well, I tried it yesterday, before EA announced the evil that is the leaked patch, and it worked just fine.
Why you would want to test it, even when there are no good servers? Because it's an enormous patch, with lots of really neat, really new stuff and it gives you some time to adjust before all the servers are running it.
It didn't eat my fingers or poop on my keyboard, although I had to reinstall BF to revert to 1.31.
I recommend it to anyone who's curious, it won't make your computer explode.

Oh lordy.

And on EvilAvatar yesterday, they were telling people they had confirmation it was the real one and all would be okay to download it.

That site always makes me laugh with schadenfreude-laced glee.

I dont understand leaking patches.. there wouldnt be any good servers to play on. Maybe if it was a lan party it would come in handy.

Not a surprise since the last leaked bf patch wasn't final either. I'm patient.

And to purge your system of the evil that is the leaked patch. You should douse your case in gasoline and set it ablaze while smashing it with a sledge hammer
