Im afraid its finally time to admit defeat. Game.exe refuses to recognize the no CD patch. Fortunately, not all hope is lost. This morning I downloaded the freeware version of Daemon Tools, ripped my LoD CD to an .mdx, and mounted it virtually. My CD is now resting comfortably in its CD case, and Im D2'ing with an empty drive just as GalaXy intended. Huzzah!!!!
And on the video front, I think Ive seen minor improvements, but my game is still slightly buggered. I believe the issue is stemming from the fact that I have a Dual Display on my PC. If I drag the game from the Main to the secondary, it will follow the -w command line and run Windowed mode. But when trying to play in Windowed mode I found that I was CONSTANTLY clicking outside the window (even though I could swear the cursor was still in the window at the time) and I kept window switching back to the desktop. If I try to run at 800x600 on my main, it doesnt scale properly, and the bottom half of my belt, skills, and life/mana orbs arent displayed correctly. And even when Im in this mode sometimes I somehow end up back at the desktop and I have to Alt-Tab back to D2 before I get killed. So it is for sure not optimal any way whatsoever, but the game is playable and working well enough for me to complete a 1x7 rush this afternoon. There is still the matter of getting 1.10s up and running, but I suppose I'll cross that bridge when we get to it
