It's real. d2multires 1.02 seems to work okay in direct3d at 1680x1050

Fuck.

I'll be in my bunk.

[rattran]

Not as nifty as the previous, but from just now.

[Ingmar]

Someone test this out in 1920 plz, so I know if I have to take vacation days.

Isn't it safer to wait for the 1.03 patch.

The box for selecting resolution in game isn't big enough to get to 1920x1200, but I changed the d2multires registy line to select it, and it works fine.

You can check the D2MultiResLog.txt to see which mode is 1920, it was (32) here.

And when the heck would that be coming out?

Soon.

We’re preparing for a Diablo II ladder reset to coincide with the release of the 1.13 patch that’s currently in development. We don’t have a final release date for the patch yet, but we’re providing early warning as a reset could occur as early as the end of April. We’ll be providing updates with more certain dates once the patch is closer to release.

Please be aware that with a ladder reset all ladder characters are moved to non-ladder. This means that your characters will still be accessible but will no longer have access to ladder-only features and games. In order to play in the new ladder season after the reset you will need to make new ladder characters.

This thread will be updated with more information as it becomes available.

They're still fucking shady with patch releases in a game that's ancient.

[rattran]

They've also said nothing about higher resolutions, Schild is just hoping SO HARD that it's in there.

[NiX]

Wasn't this the patch that was based off of hopes and dreams?

yep

Doesn't that describe all patches?

Three seconds later, she eats his brain.

(This probably  makes no sense to anyone outside of Australia. Or even anyone who isn't me.)

EDIT: Better (and still amusing only to me)? I used Dropbox for the first time.

EDIT 2: Fuck it - fate is telling me it isn't worth it.

[Merusk]

It makes even less sense when the image doesn't load.

[NiX]

Maybe it's all part of the joke.

Looks like you copied a link to the picture while browsing your private web interface. You need to either copy it while browsing the public gallery link, or drop the pic into the public folder, right click on it, and copy the direct public link.

Do I need to explain why that's something only a blond would do?

Alternative headlines included:
"Artist can't understand why people keep hitting her parked car"
"This girl is stupid"

[IainC]

Or 'How to avoid the social stigma of buying a Skoda'.

[Jherad]

You guys warm the cockles of my heart 

[K9]

I thought that it was rather neat.

[NiX]

Neat doesn't make it right or a good idea.

[Lakov_Sanite]

People are taking this too seriously. It's not like the car is the goddamned predator, it will only be an optical illusion in that one spot and what's more is that the car is from a wrecking yard meaning it doesn't run and while that place has yellow ling on the ground I actually don't think it's a parking lot(note how the lines are in squares and the picnic table)

In short, it's neat.

Great! So now some artist thinks it's ok to take a heap of crap, paint it and leave it around as "art"? Talk about littering!

[Morfiend]

I thought it was "neat" to. But then I guess the internet is serous business.

[schild]

I think her hat is dumb.

[Sky]

I bet that's how she hides her bong.

[tazelbain]

The bong is already being shown in the picture.  It's camouflaged on the picnic table.

[Sky]

I thought it was camouflaged as a dumb wannafarian hat.

[Mrbloodworth]

She can paint my car. 




PS: Bring the hat.

Doesn't that describe most modern art?

[FatuousTwat]

I'd love to put that on one of my neighbors lawns late at night.
