Starting as a level 33 character

[DeeBye]

when i try to do this, an error comes up saying something about the target does not exist, how do i get it to work?

You have to be sure that your shortcut points to your Diablo II.exe file. If you used the default installation, this should be

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"

Right-click on your shortcut, chose "properties", and be sure the target file is the correct one. If so, it's just a matter of adding "-act5" after the quotes. My shortcut, using the default installation, looks like this

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -act5

I've created a second shortcut just for this purpose, so I don't accidently use my other established characters under this option. Frankly, I'm not sure what would happen if you did just that. Maybe someone more adventurous than I can chime in.

I've just been using it to create a lvl 33 character. Then I promptly exit the game and use my other (ie. non-"-act5") shortcut to play.
