blockhd & CaedendiSkipVideo mods
or NOHD as a standalone mod for the loaders

waypoints to different zones are instant
also skips the annoying cutscenes rather than having to press and hold left click for like forever for 4 Acts * 8 Chars * 3 Difficulties
u would have to manually skip those cutscenes at least 96 times for normal to hell a5 without the mod, it a lifechanger
also allows u to run even more D2R with even less RAM & VRAM usage and is just so much faster than regular "legacy graphics"


any risk of bans with these mods?

Appreciate the all the reply's, now I'm wondering if i have too low ram, any thoughts from experienced multiboxers? how many can i run with what i have?? i can purchase more ram this weekend


Processor AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
Graphics Card AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (8 GB)


I think you would really struggle with 3 instances on those specs. CPU is great, 16GB of RAM is pretty poos in 2025. It's especially poos to only run 1 stick of RAM (need two sticks for it to run in dual channel).
Having more VRAM is nice too but not as important as having more RAM.

You can actually test out running multiple instances without paid copies (the other instances would just be offline).

D2R-Gimli Tiny mod, which is the blockhd people talk about. This lets you use less resources. But you have to combo it with a multiloader.

Im curious how people manage joining games with 7 loader accounts. I do it window by window which is kinda slow.

With d2r being onsale, I'd like to get some more mules and fill my games for better xp, I don't have a super computer but its decent.

What's everyone's go to method? I don't want any risk here, I could purchase 7 more accounts or maybe just go for p3 or p5? I'm open to suggestions...thanks friends


Update : Just wanted to share my update. Im using d2r Loader to load up 2 accounts, with much lower settings then my main screen, and i have the alts on my 2nd monitor. It feels a bit slow, but if those chars get grushed then i guess ive got my p3 for farming which was the goal, and mule storage. Id like to figure out some of these mods but dont want to risk ban (videoskip) but thats where im at for now, thanks for all the help...ill help others how i can via pm with what ive learned if needed.

I presume by 'lower settings' you've set a frame rate cap so all your instances aren't battling each other for GPU resource.

To claw back additional performance, you can also set instances that aren't your active window to have a limited frame rate, this can be done with AMD and nVIDIA GPU's.
There's a video on YT on how to do this (not by me) specifically for D2r called "Set Background FPS for D2R or Other Games AMD & Nvidia". I can't link here because it this site has odd rules.

Hopefully the above helps you a bit :)
