Diablo II Version History
------------------------------------------------------------------

- Patch 1.05
------------------------------------------------------------------


Major bugs

- Fixed copy-protection for various CD, DVD, and CD-R drives. 
- Barbarians wielding two potions are no longer prevented from 
  entering games. 
- Socketed items were mistakenly and irreversibly de-randomized in 
  1.04. Now their gem effect values are taken from the upper end of 
  their original (pre-1.04) random ranges. 
- Fixed all spell ranges. They were mistakenly reduced in v1.04. 
- Fixed a bug that prevented deleting some Characters. 
- Fixed numerous foreign language display problems. 


Minor bugs 

- Fixed a bug in the trade screen when the Horadric Cube was open. 
- Duplicate ladder entries should no longer occur. 
- The Ladders scroll properly now when there are less than 999 
  entries. Realm characters should no longer appear as robed. 
- Fixed a bug allowing users to appear in a channel twice. 
- If the user cannot connect to a default realm, a "Realm down" 
  message is displayed. 
- Fixed the "packet sniffing" exploit used when gambling. 
- High-durability items no longer lose durability when you join a 
  game after exiting or dying. 
- The Conversion skill no longer causes a monster counting error in 
  the Den of Evil. 


Improvements 

- The Conversion skill no longer causes a monster counting error in 
  the Den of Evil. 
- A prompt now appears informing the user to delete characters when 
  they have greater than eight characters in a Realm. 
- Player profiles now have a link to their ladder records, if they 
  are in the top 999. 
- A "connecting to realm" message was added. 

 Balance Changes

- The Paladin's Concentration skill now enhances the damage of 
  Blessed Hammer just as it did in 1.03. The damage displayed on the 
  Character screen is correct, too. 
- The Amazon's Strafe skill now correctly enhances base bow damage 
  rather than total bow damage.  
- The Amazon's Guided Arrow skill now enhances base bow damage 
  rather than total bow damage.
