I think that's the reason why people still want to play them At a time when most games eventually just die out, people on Battle.Net still want to play 16-year-old games, and you just can't say that about many games or game companies. Even though I'm enjoying both D3 and SC2, it's still fun to boot up the older games, because even with dated graphics, the gameplay in both games is still solid. I'm currently downloading the installer(running painfully slowly, I might add)and look forward to being able to play D2 again, and hopefully, Starcraft will follow soon, as well.

And I was fairly adamant on not going down that path again of dealing with two platforms I just got tired of dealing with having to jump through so many hoops with my Mac when it came to games.Ī bit frustrating since Apple is on such an aggressive upgrade path with hardware and software, but it's a testament to Blizzard that they are making such a great effort to keep their games playable on modern platforms.

It's why I finally just caved and bought myself a Windows gaming rig because the same issue is going to happen with OpenGL (which Apple's version is woefully outdated) versus Metal (which will require supported graphics hardware which is mostly from Mac's manufactured since 2012 I myself have a 2010 6-core Mac Pro running 10.9 but upgrading to a GPU that is Metal compliant would've cost almost as much as my Windows gaming rig (that Mac GPU would've only offered a fraction of the performance of the one in my new system). So part of this is not entirely Blizzard's fault and has everything to do with Apple with their yearly OS upgrade cycle and constantly changing/depreciating API's as well as quickly dropping support for 'older' OS X releases. It is probably a conscious decision to not support 10.9 (Mavericks) since later this year, it will end up being 3 versions out of date where Apple stops providing patches beyond security related ones. Whenever they release the new OS X installer, it will be for the most current API's thus why it will require OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan).ĭoes that mean 10.9 and earlier versions won't be supported or it is an issue that they are fixing? The Carbon API was fully depreciated as of OS X 10.8 back in 2012.

Mac Classic was for Mac's that ran classic Mac OS 8 and 9 on PowerPC based Mac's while Carbon was an API that allowed most apps that were developed for classic Mac OS 8 and 9 to be re-compiled to run on earlier Mac OS X systems (both PowerPC and Intel based). You can scratch those classic or Carbon URL's of these patches. Otherwise, head over to the Technical Support Forums. If you're having trouble installing the patch, try running the game in administrative mode.

Created new German installers to fix localization issues in Act V (Will require a fresh install to fix the missing dialogue data)ĭiablo II v1.14a Patch Notes (March 11, 2016).Capped the frame rate to 200 to save batteries, spare system load, and prevent hot lap syndrome.Fixed Mac client crash on 'Save & Exit'.Mercenaries will no longer become 'An Evil Force'.Glide Wrapper will now load properly on PC by adding -3dfx to the end of the game shortcut.Mark Kern who was a producer on.īrowse through all of the additional files which have been uploaded for Diablo 2 LOD 1.13c Patch. There is some insight into how Blizzard viewed Diablo 3 and what they have been doing with Diablo 4. So: 1) Uninstall Plugy 2) Uninstall LoD 3) Uninstall D2 4) reinstall D2 and LoD version 1.13C 4) reinstall Plugy I know it's a pain but it works. Oh yeah,also completely uninstall PlugY before reinstalling 1.13C. I don t believe Blizzard offer that patch anymore btu it is widely available, just search teh net and pick a site you trust for download.
