The fact that the game allows modding, and has features specifically built for it (i.e. I find it a bit rich that support directs people to the forums though if there is no hope of getting an answer here. I don’t really expect to get a definitive answer, but it’s worth asking the question anyway. Yep - and that’s really what I’m looking for here. WoW has addons that can use info Blizz provides in the API to modify the User Interface. They do have examples of “allowed” modifications in other games. The modding community as a whole would be glad for a straightforward and final answer to this question. Can we get a conclusive answer whether loading a character when you have the “-direct -txt” or “-mod” command line arguments (and have modified files) will result in a ban? Or will it simply do the sensible thing and ignore the modified files in favour of the archived data files (which are forcibly downloaded whenever you connect to ). As a result, there is still the fear that a single misclick when using a mod will result in your entire account being banned. This, however, has not been conclusively tested by anyone I know, and has not been (to my knowledge) confirmed by Blizzard. I cannot think of any other sensible scenario. Now, I would assume that loading mods via “-direct -txt” or “-mod” would only work in Singleplayer, and that loading a character would simply result in the game reading the archived files.

If you have a question about the game, we ask that you please reach out to our official Diablo II Resurrected forums After going over things on our end, looks like Blizzard Customer Support is unable to answer gameplay, or system questions like what you have reached out with. We had a chance to take a look into this for you to see what all we could find out. I reached out to Blizzard Support about this, but they were unable to help:

Note that most of these mods warn they’re intended for offline singleplayer games, and that if you get banned for using them that’s tough cookies.Įven articles from PCGamer and DSOGaming have echoed this line (I can’t include links for some reason, but the articles are from yesterday). One common line that is echoed among these mods is that: Diablo 2 Resurrected supports modding via the “-direct -txt” or “-mod” commands - allowing for the creation of Singleplayer mods - and these mods are now popping up on Nexus Mods, ModDB, etc.
