- [**Download Now**](https://themovingcaravan.com/diablo/platforms/gold/The_Sin_War_3.50/)

## Includes

- Cactus Platform (1.13c)
- The Sin War (3.50)

## Installation

- Extract the platform into your **`Platforms`** Directory.
- Add an entry to Cactus called **`The Sin War (3.50)`** that launches
  **`Game.exe`**.

## Notes

- This mod supports **Chinese (中文)**. You can activate it by renaming the
  **`data_CHI`** folder to **`data`**, and adding the **`-direct`** flag. I was
  able to successfully test this, however the game crashed in some instances
  most likely since I'm missing some files due to my installation being in
  **English**.

## Known Issues

- An **`Unhandled Exception: Access Violation (c0000005)`** will sometimes occur.
  This issue is already documented by upstream.

## Porting Fixes

- The mod normally depends on another launcher for its hooking mechanism. I used
  the **`Game.exe`** loader for **`1.13c`** in **BaseMod 1.13.9** to load
  **`BaseMod.dll`**. After that the mod automatically loaded everything it
  needed, including **`PlugY.dll`**, and **`SGD2FreeRes.dll`**. The files are
  most likely the obfuscated **unknown files** in the **`Patch_D2.mpq`**.

## Patch Notes

```
Suffered from diminishing returns, passive skills with min/max stat mostly are
not worthy of heavy investment. To prevent wasting skill points, players tend to
spend just 1 point. In this version, however, extra points can benefit synergy
skills and thus deserve more consideration.

Interface

    Fixed an issue where advanced stats page fails to display defense bonus from skills.
