The patches from v1.00 => v1.09 haven't changed much that you'd really want to revert, IMO. There's been some activity at The Dark forums working on getting a viable pre-release demo, but even that is prone to crashing if you aren't careful.

Ok, here's the thing. I originally loaded this wonderfully entertaining game Diablo onto my computer using a friends disk that I borrowed for a short while and found I loved it and happily raised a few characters all of which I have grown very attatched to and have not finished the game. I after a while realised I had a somewhat impatient friend on my hands and of course reterned his diablo and baught my own. Some time after this my computer had a couple virisus run through it like a wildfire despite my firewalls and antivirus programs and although these problems had yet to interfere with my gaming I thaught it best I get rid of the viruses before they did any damage to critical areas. I of course backed up my saved characters to disk knowing the game may have to be uninstalled during the debugging process but confidant I could reinstall it with my newly perchased Diablo disk. After some time I got my computer back bug free and I did have to reinstall Diablo and load my characters into the save folder from my backup disk. When I eagerly start to play again disaster strikes :wacko: while shuffling in my pack I drop one pile of gold of one number amount and then another seperate pile of gold of another amount and WHAMMO it deletes my second pile of gold saying it's a duplicate item. This same thing happened with two rings that I had aquired. I hadn't made any duplicate item, you can't duplicate gold! If I can't drop two piles of gold that means that nothing can drop two piles of gold and I can't shuffle my inventory at all :blink: I had never gotten the patches I had never been on battlenet I didn't want the patches because the worst thing that had happened to me without the patches was that I didn't get the opening cutscene and a fallen one attacked me through a wall I was walking along and that was more funny than a problem. I tried re-reinstalling, I tried installing on another computer and got the same results, I know it wasn't my save disk because I'd installed Diablo with my friends disk on yet another computer before I got my own disk and it transfered flawlessly, the only difference was my brand new disk vurses my friends that he got when Diablo had just come out. The worse part is that he dosn't have his disk anymore :( I just want to be able to get back to playing my single player games the way it was by eather finding out how to remove the new features that were installed with this new disk or by downloading the the full game without patches onto my computer so it would be like I had installed Diablo off a disk that had been released when Diablo first came out. This is no longer a quiet request for aid but a desperate plea, I can't play without getting rid of these patches, it's been months since I've made any progress and I do miss my little critters so :(
