I think they are doing the same scenario as with Diablo2. They are very slow in creating patches, so that the community will solve the problems on its own, without and blizzard help. This is done on purpose, so that they will be able to ban a lot of the players for innocent programs.
If they banned for no-cd loader in diablo 2 (which was used to run 2 copies of the game), then they will definitely ban for anti hack launchers, cpu savior etc.
They will just wait till new blizzard game comes out (just like they waited for WoW addom to come out; they banned the diablo players 2 days before it to have more bandwith or something).
Look at the diablo patches - they banned legit players; while the spambots still work, the farcast hack still work, the bots still work and so one.
IMO Blizzard should have stopped making patches at 1.09

Am I the only one who uses "r" to set rally points? I never use RMB when having a building selected, because Im worried that if I got used to doing that, I would send my units to random parts of the map (which unfortunately happens from time to time  ).
Map preview is nice, but well... can live without it.
"Shift+tab color switch" was the nicest thing added by patches (apart from replays of course :D)

A program which lets you load 2 copies of the game is entirely different than antihack or cpu savior. An antihack or cpu savior do not give any advantage in game, and are entirely supported by blizzard in my opinion, (I'll give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not totally clueless, and know we are using them) unless proven otherwise.

no, he was responding to the comment that blizzard should have stopped patching at 1.09.
the zip is a file that allows you to fix many of the problems associated with 1.16
It would be nice if the op was updated with the zip. Which is amazing!
R1CH is the man.

I wouldnt call it a cheat, but rather a way of saving electricity; I could just put two computers at my desk in order to run both of my copies of diablo - I actually tried it few times, but alt tab was more eco-friendly  In addition, after I got banned I heard that it is possible to run two copies of diablo by means of two Windows fast user switching, or something like that...

They also banned people who used my spam filter in D2.

There's plenty of ways to do it, I used a virtual machine on two computers to run 4 bots at once before I got bored within a month of restarting and quit again.
Blizzard's antihack measures are ineffective largely because the factors that they use in determining when to ban, i.e. games created per hour per cd key etc, are stupid. It stuns me that they can ban for that but don't keep track of the account or the character making the game at all.

out of curiosity, doesn't 0 ms sleep also work for non 100% cpu usage?
And lower thread priority in windows (not sure what this would do to gameplay though)

I think neither helps. sleep(0) usually just gives up the remainder of the scheduling interval, and thread priority does nothing in that context at all. It just decides which threads gets cpu-time if several of them require it.

Wow the 1.16 fix is great, along with the 1.16 version of ChaosLauncher, thanks R1CH and MasterOfChaos, you dudes are awesome!

Can you guys go to the B.net forums and send in the dxdiag and msinfo that Dat asked for? We are having a hard time recreating this issue and it would help us immensely if we can find out exactly what hardware you are running and what background processes are running.
thanks!!
