Changes in the v1.04C Patch (PC only patch)

• Fixed problems with accessing the Play CD at startup on some CD and DVD drives.

If you are experiencing CD-ROM problems at startup with the 1.04B patch, then you may want to try the 1.04C patch. This version only fixes some CD-ROM problems, and is not recommended otherwise. All other users should use 1.04B

• Removed "invisible islands" from the River of Flame, Tal Rasha's Tomb, Spider Forest, and Tower Cellar, preventing Barbarians/Sorceresses from leaping/teleporting onto them.
• Changed the Amazon's Jab skill description to multiple attacks.
• Fixed a number of typos ("ordinateur" (in French version), "Eats and Spits Corpses", "Stiletto", "Explore Tal Rasha's Chamber") and capitalization mistakes ("extra gold from monsters", "better chance of getting magic item", "Hit Causes Monster To Flee", "bonus to Attack Rating", "Slows target by", and "Hit blinds target").

Improvements

• The Realms handle character data more quickly now.
• Added a Battle.net gateway selection to the main menu.
• Added a Change Password feature.
• Battle.net messaging has been upgraded to use character names, not just account names. The new message addressing formats are: /msg CharacterName, /msg CharacterName@RealmName (where RealmName is USWest, USEast, Asia, or Europe), and /msg *accountname. The old addressing format was: /msg accountname.
• Duriel's graphics are pre-loaded before entering his lair. This minimizes the chance of getting killed by him before loading is complete.

• Chat colors have been adjusted to help players identify the source of the text. The new chat colors are Name = Gold, Whisper = Green, Alert = Red, Message = White, Emote = Gray, Enter/Exit = Gray, and Blizzard Representative = Blue.
• Removed the chat cheats "scrollhack1" and "scrollhack2".
• Added some new error messages to Battle.net and clarified a few others.
• Changed the Battle.net chat history scroll bar to Windows-style "page up/down" instead of "scroll to this spot".

• ATI's most recent driver update has solved incompatibilities with Rage 128 video cards and RAVE/OpenGL. To use RAVE or OpenGL with a Rage 128 card, you will need to download and install the new drivers, and then choose "Rescan Monitors" from the video configuration screen.

Changes in the v1.03 Patch

Major bugs

• Fixed a rare bug that would mark a character as "Unable to join, Bad item."
