can't get character utility to work

Post by herewego » Wed Dec 14, 2016 4:06 pm

Trying to use this http://miyoshino.la.coocan.jp/eswiki/?CharacterUtility to reallocate my stats


I open the program, find my appropriate save file, hit "Unallocate All Stats." But when I save and close and go into game, I have no stats to reallocate, everything is still the same. If I "Unallocate All States" and then "Reallocate States" These changes aren't saved either.


Anyone else have any experience with this? Does the /Programfiles folder where I installed d2 have some sort of extra protection to prevent changes? I read somewhere that someone moved their character file outside of their d2 folder and edited it, then moved it back, tried this but didn't work..

Any help would be appreciated.

That is correct. There's special protections to anything installed under /Program Files or /Program Files (x86) as Windows treats this as a system-specific environment. Which is why I install my games outside of these directories.

One possible remedy is that you need to launch the utility as administrator, done by right-clicking the executable and using "run as administrator". No guarantees, however -- Windows is really picky with what's being done in those directories.
