Perfect, thanks for all the info brother!

Ok so the original full path where it failed was C:\Diablo II, this folder being my Diablo II root directory. But after I merged the Cactus files with my Diablo II files I immediately renamed the same folder to C:\Cactus. Hopefully I wrote that clearly enough, I'm in a little over my head here.

Ahh yes you're correct, sorry I got a little confused there. I do have Cactus inside my Diablo II root directory however I renamed that folder to Cactus so instead of it showing C:\Games\Diablo II it shows C:\Games\Cactus. You're also correct saying that I did not put my Diablo II root...

And thanks both of you for all the info! :)

huh Interesting, I was running Cactus in admin mode when I was having all of the problems I mentioned. The only thing I changed was moving it from C:\ location to C:\Games and everything immediately started working as intended, so I just assumed installing directly into C:\ location was the...

I admire your dedication to security and to game preservation @fearedbliss. I skimmed the link you sent and have bookmarked it for future reference, it's very well written and is a fascinating topic. I can feel your passion for it. That picture of your old PC game boxes filled me with...

Hi everyone, I apologize if this is basic information and perhaps this post merely shows how little I know about computers but when I recently reinstalled Cactus I put it directly into the C: drive. I was wondering why I kept having so many problems like having to click on platforms many times...

Slightly off topic but i just want to add that I'll always be a big GGG fan even if POE1 isn't for me anymore. Prob my favourite developers. I was so happy when POE2 came out and was way slower, at least in the campaign. It will be interesting to see where they go with things, if they slow...

haha Yeah I find it's sometimes easy to forget that fun is the most important reason to play video games in my opinion. I sucked at all video games as a kid. I could never get past the point in OG Half Life where that massive tentacle monster was blocking the path forward. It didn't matter...

Yeah that's true, it would be interesting to experiment with 1.05b MF in the future, once I get more familiar with the general classic experience. That's a cool idea to play 1.07 as if it was 1.05 haha I mean why not right? Could make for an interesting play through and change things up, with...

Ahh I see thanks for the links, I'll check them out later today. Yeah I actually do enjoy just sitting down and watching the videos. When I play D2 I usually either like to listen to a podcast or just immerse myself in the in game music and world.

Thanks @Manny, feels good to finally post here! :)

haha Alright, sounds good. Thanks for the info guys!

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

After changing my outlook I have to agree, last night I had so much fun after letting go of the thought that I needed to get magic find gear. It made me look at MF in a new way, like maybe it's a tedious mechanic? I'm not sure how I feel... I mean I have had a lot of fun MFing in later patches...
