This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using the Brave browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse, then send that data back to a third party, essentially spying on your browsing habits.We strongly recommend you stop using this browser until this problem is corrected. The latest version of the Opera browser sends multiple invalid requests to our servers for every page you visit.The most common causes of this issue are: Side-note, in modern Windows (7 & up) your saved character files will be in \YourUserFolder\Saved Games\Diablo II\, which is kinda nice for management/backup/ mule-ing.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. The new installers will get you all the way up to the current patch level. It'll look something like this:Ĭopy that long alphanumeric code & paste it into the requisite box during installation. When you install the game from these clients, you will still need the "game key", which you can find in your account under "Account Settings", "Summary" - scroll down to the bottom under "Classic Games" and click on the game title. You then go to "Download Clients", "Classic Games", find Diablo 2 / LOD, and download the OS-appropriate client (Windows or Mac). Enter the code shown by the viewer for Diablo 2, then for LOD, and you will now have both games in your account. You do this by logging in to, going to Account Settings, and clicking " Add a Game Key" (linked Q/A explains a bit more about why it works this way). ) If you patched to 1.13, use the Google and you should find something look for "Serby's" or "D2Utilities".īasically, most of them read the MPQ files from your game directory and show you the decrypted game-code (CD key), which you can then register with Blizzard/Bnet to download the new modern-OS-compatible game client. It only works with version 1.12 (or possibly older) but you did say " old gaming rig" so hopefully it was old enough that the game was fairly old too. The one I found that actually worked was linked from here. There are some nasty anchovies out there if you start looking for "key grabbers" or whatnot, so be careful. I was going to simply put this in the comments, but I felt it's enough information to warrant an answer.
