Changes
in the v1.03 Patch
- Major
bugs
- Fixed
a rare bug that would mark a
character as "Unable to
join, Bad item." A typical
cause of this bug was high lag
conditions while two characters
simultaneously attempted to use
the same item lying on the ground
- for example, a Necromancer
casting Iron Golem on a sword
while another tried to pick it
up.
- Fixed
a bug where Diablo II would crash
when using 64MB video cards.

(Amazon) Fixed a bug where extra
arrows would be fired for any
minions or party members the

effectiveness in these situations
- Fixed
a loophole that allowed either
the Necromancer wearing the
complete set of Infernal Tools or
the Paladin with the Milabrega
set to temporarily boost his
skills to very high levels.
- Fixed
a bug that caused Amazons
wielding a javelin in the right
side inventory box and a shield
in the left to do no damage with
javelin-throwing skills assigned
to the right mouse button.
- Fixed
a bug in Open games that dropped
players with slower machines from
the game when they talked to Act
III NPCs.
- Fixed
3 rare lock-up bugs with Lord De
Seis: 1) killing him as any
character, 2) leaping away from
him as a Barbarian, and 3) being
killed by him while
simultaneously drinking a potion.
- If
a player tries to create a game
when a Realm server is fully
occupied, the player is prompted
to join a game instead. It no
longer reports "Server
Down" in this case.
- The
"Toggle Belt" hotkey is
no longer active when the in-game
chat overlay is displayed.

Tab no longer sell out

Battle.net
- Game
creation queue added. Client now
informed of game creation
position.
- Reduced
the average bandwidth required
for each player/client. Effects:
reduction in lag and a slight
modification to the updating of
the Life Orb. There may be a
period of adjustment for some
players and we encourage you to
pay closer attention to your Life
Orb until you are used to this
change.
- Added
support for future server
performance improvements. Effect:
Future reduction in lag and
future increase in the number of
games per server.
- When
a server goes down, the clients
will no longer be left in
"limbo" for up to 20
seconds, but will exit
immediately to Battle.net chat.

from Battle.net are now yellow.
