Median XL 2017 1.3.1 PlugY and D2SE
If you try to run D2SE under Win7 or Win10, run the program in XP compatibility mod. I find it crashes the least there. I can't even get the mod to load under Win10. Maybe Selts will know more. In Summary, BOTH Dreamland plugins are incomplete and you will crash, usually every other time you save and exit. Rarely you will crash at start up. Basically drops uniques at the maximum chance they can drop based of the text files limit (also with sets if you are in destruction difficulty and using the correct bin file). Hello guest register or sign in. Median XL: Drop Mod & Other addon - Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.
Start with a fresh install

- Extract the folders Original and Expansion and install them directly on to your C: drive accordingly. (This makes the folder easier to find and you don't have to deal with User Account Permissions)
