Thanks :/

This

ty, worked first try with Process Explore.

Works half the time on my end.

close out all of your bnet apps, go back to the original d2r folder and launch d2r launcher and follow the steps

What's the main benefit? Rush your own chars? Little mf boost?

I'm only the fence because do I want to pay 40$ just for that

Doing ubers 1 for teleporting, search and clear minion, second char smiter to kill bosses, buff the other char with battle orders from cta, make your runs with 1 extra player which increases drop chance for keys. Lvl your second char doing baalruns. Thats what i do.

For anyone interested, you can automate the process of searching and killing the handle in Process Explorer, though you need the command-line version of it called Handle, it's from the same person who made Process Explorer and can be found googling Handle Microsoft.

To find the process, you run something like this:
handle -p D2R.exe -a "BaseNamedObjects\DiabloII Check For Other Instances" | findstr /C:"D2R.exe" | findstr /C:"Sessions"

which outputs:
D2R.exe pid: 17600 type: Event 550: \Sessions\1\BaseNamedObjects\DiabloII Check For Other Instances

Then you grab the PID (17600 in this case) and handle hex (550 in this case) and then you can run this to close the handle:
handle -p 17600 -c 550 -y

If you're good with coding, you can set it up so you just double-click the .bat script and it automatically kills the handle.

so far so good. been running my own 8man games.

oh god! how many licenses do you have?
