Post by: Olfmo on April 05, 2005, 01:59:31 am: did you deactivate and deinstall your former version, then install and activate 7.55? i'm pretty sure you didn't and now the easiest solution is to do a complete d2 reinstall and directly install 7.55

Post by: Charmin on April 05, 2005, 02:03:47 am: I think first you can try the repair.bat..but if you re-install d2 you are on the safer side :P
But give it try..may be works!

Post by: qoucher on April 05, 2005, 02:26:54 am: actually what may have happened is, you didn't deactivate it like you were supposed to, and then installed 7.55, there is however a way to fix this without havening to reinstall d2 completely, what you do is find your anticheat.dll, look and see if you have an anticheat.ce, if so, delete anticheat.dll and it should work perfectly, if it says something about any other files, look for the .dll versions of those and delete them. sure reinstalling d2 is easier but just making another suggestion^^, this happens because the uninstaller removes only the .ce files, and not the .dll,so when you install 7.55 the activator doesn't want to overwrite anticheat.dll so it screws up, and causes it not to work

Post by: World_Chaser on April 05, 2005, 02:52:35 am: I did the same thing, Installing CE with deactivating the old version :blink: , so I reinstalled Diablo and installed CEv7.55. I was able to successfully activate it :clap: , but when I try to run Diablo nothing happens. :wallbash:

EDIT: Oh my god i am such a silly person i didnt even notice that there is 7.55 already! I suppose it is newer then 7.51 cos there is nothing said in news section about 7.55 :blink:
Title: Ver 7.55
Post by: MrBad151 on April 05, 2005, 04:28:17 pm: I have the spinning CD issue as well. I deactivated CE, uninstall CE, uninstall D2, Deleted the D2 folder, then did a fress reinstall of everything.
Title: Ver 7.55
Post by: Cubtz on April 05, 2005, 05:55:55 pm: I had the same spinning CD problem at first too. What solved my problem was going in the glide wrapper configurator and choosing windowed-mode. CE loaded even though it took a few seconds extra than the previous version. After it loaded in windowed mode I set up my video options in game to my liking and exited. I then unchecked windowed-mode in the configurator and it starts fine but with the same extra few seconds delay. Hope this works for you.

Just checked the delay...it takes 10 seconds on my system before loading.

Run video test and select 3dfx glide after tests are done... don't skip test. This should work.

Post by: MajesticPriest on April 06, 2005, 02:51:50 pm: There is a resolution for this problem that helped some people already.

Deactivate the Mod, Start Lord of Destruction, change the gateway to Jenworld.. close LoD, activate the mod and d2 should start without problems... after this you can change gateway back to CCC
Title: Ver 7.55
Post by: MrBad151 on April 06, 2005, 03:55:00 pm: Bah! Switching the gateway didn't work for me.

Post by: webwalker on April 06, 2005, 04:18:48 pm: I had problems installing and running 7.55 but I did some things out of order.

So, I re-installed D2LOD, then installed the 7.55 mod, and all is well.

My current problem with 7.55 is lack of a list of the changes.
What I have discovered:
Runes cannot be cubed up by the 3 -> 1 recipe.
Belt (razortail) + 3 spleens does not ger the poison damage + PMH mod
(recipe fails I still have all components).
Recipe page is still out of date: e.g. black oils to put sockets in an item
(should be 2 PGems/socket)

If an up-to-date page for 7.55 exists in German I'll happily do my best at
translating it to English.

Razortail is a unique belt. The recipe is only for rare belts ;)

â‚¬: Here is a Link to a few changes in the version 7.55. As far as i know there is no complete list of changes till now.

Some changes you can see in the included readme.htm under the point version history.

concerning runes :
changes are you can't gamble them anymore and it's

Post by: MrBad151 on April 07, 2005, 01:52:44 am: Tried reloading LOD, no luck there either.

Is there anyone still having problems getting 7.55 to work? I tried all the suggestions and still can't get past the spinning CD. Any fixes in the works or new suggestions to try? I've already reloaded 7.51, guess that's better than nothing at all.

Will it be possible to keep my 7.51 Characters when I upgrade to 7.55? I'm guessing it will be.. but just wanted to check.

Post by: GothicTomCat on April 09, 2005, 10:53:01 pm: ok, let me tell you about my story....I was playing 7.51 (didn't yet know about 7.55) so for almost 2 days I screwed around trying to figure out why I couldn't get into the games, kept getting failed to join game.. so I wrote a post about it and the moderator told me about 7.55 and where to download it...So I did that, then I was getting the missing anticheat.dll file....so I uninstalled D2 and CE....Reinstalled both but before I realized it, I was getting another message about not finding something in the storm.dll file...couldn't figure out what was wrong, then I figured out what I did wrong, was in such a hurry to play CE that I forgot to download the D2 patch first :angry: so I had to uninstall everything again and reinstall....So where am I now, in the CCC playing CE :thumbup: good job guys on the mod...I love it, won't ever go back to playing D2LOD anymore....Thanks again

Laterzzzzzz all :cheers:

Post by: qoucher on April 10, 2005, 04:02:57 am: heh

i can't go back to norm LOD either, it's serously impossible...it's extremly too easy, and i find it meaningless really, because i'm too strong to do quests, and i just find pvp to be boring.
