So I'm trying to downgrade from 1.14 to 1.13c and so far everything I've tried hasn't worked. I tried what was suggested here: https://www.reddit.com/r/slashdiablo/comments/o4h3k/how_to_downgrade_from_113d_to_113c_without/ but afterwards I get a blank error screen and when I hit cancel I get unexpected error break 800000003. I've tried running in compatibility mode and admin rights but still a no go. I've also tried using D2SE but nothing in that program seems to work for me, when I click on the 1.13c patch it loads up 1.14 and the windowed option also doesn't work.
How to downgrade
Any suggestions on how to get down to 1.13c?
How to downgrade from 1.13D to 1.13C without uninstalling!
You can downgrade diablo 2 if you have an older game.exe. It turns out this is the only file the updater checks. If you download an old game.exe from blizzard http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/PC/game-lod.zip Then replace your game.exe with this game.exe you can downgrade to 1.13C. Just download it here http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/PC/LODPatch_113c.exe.
This worked for me and now I can use the slashdiablo maphack perfectly.
I really need a way to downgrade my d2 version to 1.13 or lower to be able to use make ladder rws in SP.
NOTE: I am using MACOS, so I will try to find a way by using wineskin to make d2 1.13 or lower work on my system.
Anybody knows a save place to find a 1.13c or lower file of d2? I cannot think of any reason why blizzard disabled ladder rws in single player... It's frustrating.

On Windows you can delete patch_d2.mpq and use the executables and new data files from the patch archive in order to downgrade. I am fairly certain the same strategy should work on mac with a little effort.

recognized that I'd need a powermac to play the files. it's not working anymore on the recent Mac systems. Subsequently I'll need to try running an older d2 version by using wineskin once again :/.
Frustrating. I don't know why blizzard didn't simply put the ladder rw's into the SP version of the game, thus making life for us single player gamers a lot harder now, especially on Mac.
Thanks for your effort tho

Maybe 1.15 will make ladder-only rune words available for SP.
Listen guy, single player is easy enough without that added hoopla guy. Only the spoiled brats need extra mods for an already easy game.
i don't really care how easy it is, I want to make some endgame items, because of I like to collect some stuff.
Anybody has a save 1.13 or lower file? For windows. So I can use it with wineskin?
Lol just play online, unless of course you got kicked from there for modding.
i don't want to play online. I don't want to be involved in any trading nor I want to interact with other players. I simply want to walk through the game with players 8 and enjoy it for nostalgic reasons. BUT I want to enable ladder rws because I like the endgame rw's etc.
D2 1.13 works perfectly fine with Wine under Linux, so I recommend you give it a try on your mac. I even created 2 wineprefixes: one for 1.13 with plugy for singleplayer and another for 1.14d when I occasionally ladder.
Edit: why the downvotes? I just answered OP's question :o
Many older patches
Availability for ladder runewords
Availability to do dclone and uber
Availability for ladder cube recipe
Expanded stash
Overall very fun to play

Unfortunately I couldn't find a save download for 1.13 yet. Downloads were either not save, according to antivirprog or the links were down.

Diablo 2 1.13c Installer
HELP: Downgrading from 1.14 to 1.13c?
I have been trying to follow the 'Quick set-up guide' on the sidebar but I am having a problem with downgrading my patch so I can proceed with getting my maphack and multi-boxing to work.
When I follow the instructions and download the 'LODPatch_113c.exe', it upgrades it. However, when I download the 'game.exe' file and place it into the directory, then rename my original 'Game.exe' file, the game will not open. It comes up with a blank error window then another window opens and says 'Breakpoint' or something?
How To Downgrade Diablo 2
I had to re-install D2 to get my game working again. Before this, my MH was working fine. Now, I am running on patch 1.14. I'm totally confused at this point.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing some vital part of the instructions? Can somebody please help me?
Thank you in advance!
