Before you enter the realm

1. Prepare your own legal Polish or English copy of Diablo II with Lord of Destruction 1.13c.
2. Register on the website and verify your e-mail with the OTP code.
3. Download the launcher, select your clean game folder and let it prepare a separate C9Realm copy. The language is detected automatically.
4. Always launch from the C9Realm shortcut. The realm is preconfigured - choose Battle.net in game and sign in with your new account.

After e-mail verification, we create your main account and three utility accounts: name-1, name-2 and name-3. Use them for mules, an enchant sorceress or a Battle Orders barbarian. Do not create extra profiles merely to scale a game - use .players. Only the main account works in Ironman SSF.

C9Realm runs on classic Lord of Destruction 1.13c. Clean Polish and English releases are supported and recognized automatically. The launcher verifies your source files and does not alter the original installation - it creates its own copy with the same language plus realm, HD and BH configuration. We do not distribute game files or keys.

No. The effective value never falls below the number of real players in the game. With eight people present, .players 1 still means scale 8. With four real players, .players 2 still means scale 4. Each new arrival automatically raises the floor.

The game creator sets a value from 1 to 8 by typing, for example, .players 5 in chat. .players status shows the requested and effective values plus the number of real players. After the first hostile monster kill, the setting can only be raised. .players lock freezes it at its current value for the rest of the game.

No. This is game-side scaling, not extra characters. With .players 8, real players can still join every free slot. The old !fill bots have been retired.

Yes. Open C9Realm Launcher again and press Play for each additional window. Every window must use a different account - use the main account and your -1, -2 and -3 accounts. Never sign the same account into two windows at once. Extra windows are unnecessary when you only want more drop or experience because .players handles that.

No. Ironman SSF is designed for one real character. The game stays bound to its creator's account and character, and utility accounts cannot join, mule or transfer items. .players 1-8 still lets you choose the challenge without breaking SSF rules.

No. A passworded game is hidden from the public list. A friend joins manually by entering its name and password. Do not post the password in global chat.

No. “Unrecognized app” describes file reputation. If Defender reports a named, actual threat and deletes or quarantines a file, do not blindly disable protection. Download a fresh copy only from our website, use Repair / update in the launcher and report the exact detection name with a screenshot on Discord.

This is expected. 800×600 is the classic client's internal surface, which D2GL scales to a Full HD window. Press Ctrl+O for display and cursor settings or Alt+Enter to toggle fullscreen. Do not add the -w flag - D2GL manages window mode itself.

1. Close every Diablo II window and reopen the launcher.
2. Click Repair / update to verify all files again.
3. Make sure the source was a clean LoD 1.13c folder, not another mod's directory.
4. If it happens again, open the launcher log named in the error and attach it to your Discord report. Never paste passwords or game keys.

In the lobby, type /w *C9Bot !help. The bot replies by whisper to keep public chat clean. Send exclamation-mark commands to C9Bot; enter dot commands such as .players directly in the chat inside a game. See the C9Bot guide for the complete list.
