==Major bugs==
 
*Fixed a rare bug that would mark a character as "Unable to join, Bad item." A typical cause of this bug was high lag conditions while two characters simultaneously attempted to use the same item lying on the ground - for example, a [[Necromancer]] casting [[Iron Golem]] on a [[sword]] while another tried to pick it up.
 
*Fixed a bug where Diablo II would crash when using 64 MB video cards.

==Minor bugs==
 
*Fixed a loophole that allowed either the [[Necromancer]] wearing the complete [[set]] of [[Infernal Tools|{{Ub|=Infernal Tools}}]] or the [[Paladin (Diablo II)|Paladin]] with the [[Milabrega's Regalia|{{Ub|=Milabrega's Regalia}}]] set to temporarily boost his skills to very high levels.
 
*Fixed a bug that caused [[Amazon]]s wielding a [[javelin]] in the right side inventory box and a [[shield]] in the left to do no damage with javelin-throwing skills assigned to the right mouse button.
 
*Fixed a bug in Open games that dropped players with slower machines from the game when they talked to Act III NPCs.
 
*Fixed 3 rare lock-up bugs with [[Lord De Seis|{{Ub|=Lord De Seis}}]]: 1) killing him as any character, 2) [[leap]]ing away from him as a [[Barbarian (Diablo II)|Barbarian]], and 3) being killed by him while simultaneously drinking a [[potion]].
 
*If a player tries to create a game when a Realm server is fully occupied, the player is prompted to join a game instead. It no longer reports "Server Down" in this case.
 
*The "Toggle Belt" hotkey is no longer active when the in-game chat overlay is displayed.
 
*Magic [[Hammer#Maul|Maul]]s with the [[Enhanced Damage]] Property have been fixed.

*[[Static Field]] ([[Sorceress]]) Fixed Spell Description
 
*[[Leap Attack]] (Barbarian) Fixed Spell Description

==Improvements==
 
*Game creation queue added. Client now informed of game creation position.
 
*Reduced the average bandwidth required for each player/client. Effects: reduction in lag and a slight modification to the updating of the [[Life]] Orb.

*Added support for future server performance improvements. Effect: Future reduction in lag and future increase in the number of games per server.
