Hello Everyone, I recently downloaded D2 to play with friends. However, on starting the game and creating a character I cannot connect after the first scene. I went ahead and did all of the portfowarding, UPnP coding and bypass, Open NAT, disabling firewall and filters, fresh download and re-install, and attempted to bypass the router forcing the gateway. In all attempts I am still getting the issue of use code cabbage. I have checked online and did a lot of the guides for jumping around and adding additional ports like 3097 and 59936. One thing to note is that I was able to bypass the starting video and add the other NAT ports listed (didn't help - not listed on the self help) but also see my CH model would not load for innovatory. Going back to the login I have two spinning circles for loading but the model will not come up. Is there any other things that might be known? Else I am sadly gonna have to give up on the game. Thank you for any help, Slayer
