I'm not able to play D2 LOD Battlenet, because i have framerate around 5
frames/s, but my PC should have sufficent power to handle D2.
I have a P2 400 Mhz (from 1998) with 327 MB ram, Gforce 3 ti200, IBM
deskstar harddisk (7700 RPM) and a fast ADSL connection.
Please help !

Rerun the video tester and switch back to 2D mode (DirectDraw?).

What O/S?

D2 LOD also has a bad framerate in singleplayer. According to Blizzard the
minimumrequirements are :
Windows? 2000*, ME, XP, 95, 98 or NT 4.0 Service Pack 5
Pentium? 233 or equivalent
64 MB RAM
800MB available hard drive space (in addition to original Diablo II
Multiplayer install).
4X CD-ROM drive
DirectXT compatible video card

How about direct X, which version works best ?

Is my PC not powerfull enought ?

I have tried to run the game in 2D, but the result still sucks.
What can I do ??

8 worked fine, but 9 and 9b have worked fine for me as well (at least in
single player).

>Is my PC not powerfull enought ?

Plenty powerful enough.

Don't know what difference Windows ME might make (since I still run
98se), but a p2-400 and Geforce3Ti ought to be able to handle the load.

Do you have Full Screen Anti Aliasing (FSAA) and/or Anisotropic
Filtering (AF) turned on?
If so, turn them off or set to application.
This can have an insanely huge impact on performance, since some games
just don't like it at all.

If that's not it then, are their drivers for your motherboard chipset,
and are they installed?
(This can make a HUGE difference to performance, since things will run
without the chipset drivers but badly.)

A. Rerun the video setup and choose 2d instead of 3d
2. Start the game
D. Go to the options menu and scale down the effects until you are
happy with the framerate.

First question: Is the horrible framerate only on battlenet or is it
there when you play single player games too?
