I've been playing D2 for years, and it just plain sucks in OS X. There's virtually no OpenGL support unless you like playing at about 10 frames a second, this with a 128mb ATI card installed. After much emailing with Blizzard tch support who can tell me virtually nothing, I perused the web and found MANY people who have this problem on a Mac.

Have to play in software mode, which is acceptable, IF the damn game didn't lock up intermittently ALL the time! I've done at least half a dozen reinstalls of the OS and the game and it still doesn't solve the lockup issues in the game. NOTHING else on the Mac causes such maddening issues.

Face it guys...if you're playing it and it don't crash, you're one of the lucky ones. I've been playing D2 a lot since it came out, and the OS X rendition is simply pathetic. It played better on a Supermac and on a G3 MUCH better than it ever has in OS X.

And I'm soooooo SICK of hearing users say Ohhhhhh but they provide it for freeee and coming to the defense of pathetically inept programmers at Blizzard who don't know what the hell they're doing and would rather field 50 email exchanges with idiotic techs than ADMIT that they have a problem, especially with the OpenGL rendering for MOST Mac video cards (they removed hardware support completely in the OS X versions)...well fine and dandy, IF it worked!

If you're a newbie at D2 wondering if you should purchase the game to play on Mac OS X...DON'T.
