Enhanced Edition (D2SE) TAINTED-2.2


1 Screenshot

Revision: TAINTED-2.2

Issues to be aware of in this pre-alpha release:

  • When operating in Widescreen (16:9) resolution mode, the game's built-in screenshot functionality does not work as intended (screenshots are corrupted) [bug]
    Recommendation: you can use ReShade to to circumvent this bug
  • The limit of summoned minions is not enforced correctly, allowing the player to summon potentially infinite minions [bug]
    Recommendation: do not play summoner-type character builds to avoid this bug
  • The limit of set traps is not enforced correctly, allowing the player to set potentially infinite traps [bug]
    Recommendation: do not play character builds using traps to avoid this bug
  • The Unsummon skill does not work as intended [bug]
    Recommendation: do not play summoner-type character builds to avoid this bug
  • Using the Potion of Regret to reset attributes and skills will crash the game [bug]
    Recommendation: do not purchase or use the Potion of Regret to avoid this bug
  • Some interface panels may have transparency issues, such that allow you to see through elements that are supposed to be dark in colour [minor issue]
  • Under rare circumstances, hostile areas may be populated with non-standard shrine types that may act unexpectedly and potentially crash the game when used [warning]
  • Portal shrines may crash the game when used but are disabled and should not spawn under normal circumstances [warning]

Features included in this pre-alpha release:

  • Interfaces rebuilt for 1366x768 (and 1024x768), which scales beautifully to 1920x1080 [in progress]
  • A comprehensive character statistics panel [mostly done]
  • Expanded personal inventory storage capacity [mostly done]
  • Expanded personal stash storage capacity (16x15 vs vanilla 6x8) [done]
  • Expanded Horadric Cube storage capacity (8x8 vs vanilla 3x4) [done]
  • PlugY multi-page stash and shared stash compatibility [compatible]
  • Sven's Glide wrapper compatibility [compatible]
  • ALchemy 3D sound compatibility [compatible]
  • More explanatory labels for mercenary companions [mostly done]
  • Fully equippable mercenary companions [in progress]

Features only partially included in this pre-alpha release:

  • New skill additions (note that all original Diablo II Lord of Destruction skills and builds are intact) [in progress]
    Notes: new skills are implemented but none of them are made available to player characters in this release
  • Ability to reset attributes and skills [in progress]
    Notes: due to a bug, there is currently no way of resetting skills, but attributes can be freely redistributed as described on the character statistics panel
  • Unique graphics for each Unique and Set item [in progress]
    Notes: only select Unique and Set items have unique graphics at this time
  • Throwing potions made viable [in progress]
    Notes: throwing potions are made available for purchase from alchemy vendors, but no other changes to increase their viability have been made yet
  • An AI overhaul of mercenary companions [in progress]
    Notes: all mercenary companions received new, more aggressive and generally smarter AI, but work in this regard has just started
  • An in-depth overhaul of the Lord of Terror encounter [in progress]
    Notes: the overhaul is purely cosmetic as of now - Diablo received new voice lines and sound effects 
  • An in-depth overhaul of the Summoner/Jazreth encounter [in progress]
    Notes: Jazreth the Summoner received new, greatly improved AI, new voice lines, a new look (more lore-correct for a Vizjerei mage), but the related Arcane Sanctuary map revisions are not available yet, which may make dodging his attacks much more difficult than intended
  • Addition of NPC allies to hostile areas [in progress]
    Notes: Rogue scouts have been added to select Act 1 wilderness areas; if slain by monsters, they will turn into hostile Dark Rangers
