Topic: Help!

Okay so I have downloaded the D2 Enhancement Pack version 2.2 twice now from the nighsoft server. When I run the installer is says that the file contains invalid data. I downloaded the full install not the updater and reinstalled OP from scratch. I Deleted all the left over stuff in the Taldren folder and deleted the reg key for OP. Nothing seems to work. I'm getting a little frustrated cause it is my understanding that to get onto D2 you have to have the Enhancement pack. Am I right about this and is there any way that I can get a good copy? Thanks for any help.

OK make sure you have no anti-virus running, and make sure you run the enhancement pack that installs the 2.5.5.2 patch, and get it from the link provided buy Pestilence just to be sure.

 if that doesn't work you can try DL the OP patch 2500-2552,then the SFCOP mini patcher(that lets ya locate the Dir of servers and fixes the ESG noise loop),then DL OP+4.0 and or 3.4 buy Firesoul and install them separately (you will need 4.0 for the campain) you should be able to get them here sorry don't have any links for ya. hope this sets ya on  the right path good luck
