I'm trying to run Cactus on Windows 11 (which I understand is not supported). I set it up by:
- Installing D2 1.00
- Copying the contents of 1. Filesinto C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo 2\
- Run Cactus.exe

The splash screen runs, but when I click "Enter Sanctuary" it sits there for a minute on a white screen, then crashes. Strangely, when I run Cactus outside of the D2 root (e.g. from where I extracted the .7z), it runs without any problems. I ran both installers that Cactus shipped with, and they both said I was already up to date on those libraries.

I understand that Cactus isn't supported on Win11, but is there some way to capture logs/errors before it crashes? I suspect that it's cranky about some configuration issue, but can't tell what the problem is when it just whitescreen->closes.
