Hey guys. I've been trying to play ES for a couple weeks now, but I'm having a problem. I did a little research on it and found a two-year-old thread somewhere that had a guy talking about the same problem, so I know it's not just me. The thread didn't have an answer and no one has an account at that site anymore.
I installed everything from scratch, didn't change the names or anything, and LoD works perfectly. I install ES and the first time it goes through the whole backup process and all that. It starts the game, my CD spins, and then it stops. Nothing ever happens at that point. It's like the computer misses a step somewhere and forgets to play the game.
I have a copy of LoD that is already upgraded to 1.12. Maybe that's a problem. I've tried windowed mode, i've tried using one of the CD emulators that the wiki sends you to. I've uninstalled and reinstall a few times. I'm hoping someone here had the same problem and was able to figure it out.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.

:thumbsup: Thanks
To those who play ES, does ES require you to have -direct -txt in the shurtcut when playing?
Go to d2mods.com and then to the ES forum and there is a sticky that is called Trouble shooting ES. that should resolve your issue.
If problems persists PM me for further assistance.
edit
looks like the previous message was moved while I was posting.
ES uses a special launcher to play the mod. the spinning CD indicates it is not getting past CD check.

Hans means go to that thread
EDIT: Beautiful. I had to change the settings for the Alcohol thingie and bingo.
Now if anyone has anything that would help out someone getting started again, that'd rule. I'm pretty generous once I can get up again...
