If you're playing pc offline, default location the character save files are saved is: This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Users > whatever your login is > Saved Games > Diablo 2. This is NOT the same location where the actual game is stored on the C: drive (which will be under program files). Once there look for your character name and copy the one

Paste in the following script Powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& 'C:\Diablo II\Diablo2Backup.ps1'" Make sure this is the path where you saved the first script. Save this to the same place as the first script, I saved mine to C:\Diablo II\Backup.bat Open the start menu and type "Task Scheduler" Click "Create Task" Location of save files : r/Diablo_2_Resurrected. Since I want to transfer from mp to SP because of the /playersx command I want to create a sorceress similar to my multi-player character. Unfortunately the herocreator is asking for an existing save file so I created an SP character but I can't seem to find my files.
Turns out I hadn't saved since hitting level 2 - lost all my progress and items. So it means if you wanna avoid losing progress then you need to quit to the main menu periodically. Wish I knew this in advance lol. No it auto saves. The servers are just unstable and have had instances of rollbacks.

Pre-installed Diablo II: Lord of Destruction from Blizzard Entertainment patch 1.12 (English) with MultiRes plugin that lets you run the game in high resolutions. Later patches are included, but the MultiRes plugin only works on 1.12. If you want a particular patch, just extract that into the game folder and you'll be set.

Try looking for charactername.bak (or .bac?) files in your save folder and rename the extension .b2s (overriding the corrupted file). That did the trick, thanks a lot! I was afraid the backup would have been overwritten already because of my efforts trying to restore the char with hero editor but the oldest .bak file was the original one! 3n0lahE. 291 442 345 409 284 299 411 398 98
