To transfer your old Diablo 2 character to Diablo 2: Resurrected, you will need to locate and copy the game file from your old version of Diablo 2 and paste it into the appropriate folder in the new game. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Open File Explorer on your computer. You can do this by clicking on the folder icon in your taskbar or by pressing the Windows key + E.
2. Navigate to the drive where your operating system is installed. Usually, this is the C: drive, so click on “This PC” or “Computer” and then select the Local Disk (C:) drive.
3. Within the C: drive, locate the “Users” folder and open it.
4. Inside the Users folder, you will find a list of usernames. Look for the username that you use to log into your computer and open that folder.
5. Within your user folder, find the “Saved Games” folder and open it. If you can’t find it, you can try searching for it by typing “Saved Games” in the search bar located at the top right corner of the File Explorer window.
6. In the Saved Games folder, you should see a file with the extension “.d2s”. This is your Diablo 2 character file. Copy this file by right-clicking on it and selecting “Copy” from the context menu.
7. Now, go back to the desktop or the location where you have installed Diablo 2: Resurrected.
8. Open the Diablo 2: Resurrected folder. This is the folder where the new game is installed. If you are unsure about the location, you can try searching for it in the search bar of File Explorer.
9. Once you are in the Diablo 2: Resurrected folder, find the appropriate folder where the character files are stored. In Diablo 2: Resurrected, this folder is typically named “Save”. Open this folder.
10. Paste the copied character file into the Save folder. You can do this by right-clicking inside the folder and selecting “Paste” from the context menu. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + V on your keyboard.
11. Congratulations! You have successfully transferred your Diablo 2 character to Diablo 2: Resurrected. Now, when you launch the game, you should be able to select your old character and continue playing with it.
It’s important to note that this process only works for single-player characters. If you want to transfer multiplayer characters, you will need to use a third-party tool like Hero Editor or PlugY, which can convert and import them into Diablo 2: Resurrected.
Remember to always keep backups of your important game files before making any changes, just in case something goes wrong during the transfer process.
