Dear Community,
Since D2NT 3.x is no longer an option for launching multiple Diablo II instances, I figured it might be a good idea to write a little launcher. :)
I kept things simple, so this program basically just allows you two run multiple instances of Diablo II by tweaking the process handles of the existing D2 instances and then start a new process.
You can also use the most common arguments to launch Diablo II forincluding CDKey.mpq files, running in window mode, or changing the language using -direct -txt.
No game files or whatsoever are being changed. However, I still have to let you know that you are using this software at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any possible damage to your software or hardware.
This it what it looks like:
Just extract the included executable anywhere, but your Diablo II folder.
Note: Including CDKey.mpqs does currently not work. In fact, it doesn't even work when trying to launch the game manually using a shortcut, so this might be an issue related to the recent patch.
This means that you are going to need an own Diablo II installation for each instance that you would like to run.
