== Security warning with PD2 Launcher ==
Windows Security/Defender (and other anti-virus/malware solutions) will sometimes trigger a false positive with one or more components of ProjectD2. While the team does try to submit the files to Microsoft and other companies to prevent this, they do still happen. To prevent these from happening, you can create an exception/exclusion in your anti-virus for the entire ProjectD2Diablo II folder where PD2 is installed. '''See: [[#How-to create an exception in Windows Security/Defender]]'''
 
 
Line 45:
 
 
== Crashes when creating or joining games ==
# Make sure you have an exception in Defender. '''See: [[#How-to create an exception in Windows Security/Defender]]'''
# Try compatibility mode. '''See: [[#How-to run the game with different compatibility settings]]'''
# Your installation may be corrupt and you'll need to reinstall. '''See: [[#How-to install Project Diablo 2]]'''
## Try installing to a non-default location (as mentioned in the install guide)
## Try reinstalling with enGB version of both the Diablo 2 + Expansion installers instead of enUS
 
 
Line 69 ⟶ 71:
# Go to into the ProjectD2 directory and open "ProjectDiablo.cfg" in notepad or another text editor.
