You have to install Sven's glide wrapper, put the glide.dll file in your main d2 folder. There's a readme file included with the download for Sven's glide wrapper, but it'll just essentially end up telling you to do the same thing.

After that right click on your Diablo II desktop icon and go to properties, on the target line put -w -3dfx

Next right click on svens glide wrapper icon and open under administrator mode and run the program, there you'll have different opinions to set you fps cap, resolution, etc. Make necessary changes to your choosing and close the program. Next right click on your Diablo II desktop icon then run under administrator. And then you should be good to go.

The issue is that I didn’t have problems running d2 legacy before it just started acting weird

I had that issue some times. But was able to reload and as they said earlier run as administrator to avoid issues.

Also I assume you show version 1.14d. Not 1.12d which is the patch. If not correct log in on bnet as Asia instead of other location and patch should update. May take few attempts but always works for me.
