If you're having trouble installing the patch, try running the game in administrative mode... Otherwise, head over to the Technical Support Forums.
Thanks!
Thanks for bringing support on OS X. Does that mean 10.9 and earlier versions won't be supported or it is an issue that they are fixing?
Fantastic question, you may want to head over to Technical Suppoort to ask, :-).
Mac Classic was for Mac's that ran classic Mac OS 8 and 9 on PowerPC based Mac's while Carbon was an API that allowed most apps that were developed for classic Mac OS 8 and 9 to be re-compiled to run on earlier Mac OS X systems (both PowerPC and Intel based).
The Carbon API was fully depreciated as of OS X 10.8 back in 2012. Whenever they release the new OS X installer, it will be for the most current API's; thus why it will require OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan).
Does that mean 10.9 and earlier versions won't be supported or it is an issue that they are fixing?
It is probably a conscious decision to not support 10.9 (Mavericks) since later this year, it will end up being 3 versions out of date where Apple stops providing patches beyond security related ones.
So part of this is not entirely Blizzard's fault and has everything to do with Apple with their yearly OS upgrade cycle and constantly changing/depreciating API's as well as quickly dropping support for 'older' OS X releases.
It's why I finally just caved and bought myself a Windows gaming rig because the same issue is going to happen with OpenGL (which Apple's version is woefully outdated) versus Metal (which will require supported graphics hardware which is mostly from Mac's manufactured since 2012; I myself have a 2010 6-core Mac Pro running 10.9 but upgrading to a GPU that is Metal compliant would've cost almost as much as my Windows gaming rig (that Mac GPU would've only offered a fraction of the performance of the one in my new system). And I was fairly adamant on not going down that path again of dealing with two platforms; I just got tired of dealing with having to jump through so many hoops with my Mac when it came to games.
there is no game I can't make work!
here is full installer
http://www.battle.net/download/getLegacy?product=D2DV&locale=en-US&os=mac
I'm currently downloading the installer(running painfully slowly, I might add)and look forward to being able to play D2 again, and hopefully, Starcraft will follow soon, as well. Even though I'm enjoying both D3 and SC2, it's still fun to boot up the older games, because even with dated graphics, the gameplay in both games is still solid. I think that's the reason why people still want to play them; At a time when most games eventually just die out, people on Battle.Net still want to play 16-year-old games, and you just can't say that about many games or game companies.
I'm more concerned that Apple, once again, doesn't seem to care much about games on the Mac. OpenGL development is so woefully out of date, and Metal seems to have created more problems than it's solved(no Mac version of 'Overwatch,' Frontier dropping support for 'Elite Dangerous:Horizons' because OS X currently doesn't support compute shaders), so Mac users are again looking at an uncertain future for games.
But, hopefully soon, I'll be bashing little pygmy heads in the jungles of Kurast to ease my pain. Cheers, guys.

You can scratch those classic or Carbon URL's of these patches.
Got it!
Oh, darn, didn't see that, :-(.
Not sure what is going to change with this patch.
Players have developed a regimen of staying in every game at least 3 minutes before exiting again (as with muling) just to avoid the high-activity ban. This is to reduce the number of games you are joining in every span of time.
With current player levels, it is impossible that this play style would put too high a load on servers, so it is likely to say that it is just a measure against botting, or, more likely, the spammers that join public games constantly.
But those spammers are there anyway and the players suffer for it.
I can't make 1.14 d2 work. Screens too dark and no adjustments. Currentlly running an old dell gx520. Suggestions for a cheap new pc that actually plays this ancient game would be appreciated.
I'm also planning on getting a PC for games (mostly to run D2). I would appreciate any recommendations.
We dont want bots etc. Please help us.
Just follow games and block them.
We dont want 3rd party programs. Please just block bots and spammers.
Blizzard Entertainment has release patches to its popular game Diablo II and its official expansion pack release, Lord of Destruction. The new updates enable the games to be played natively on Mac OS X. The updates make good on a promise the company previously made to get out the OS X updates by the end of this quarter.

Diablo 2 Mac Patch Manual Download
'As part of our continuing support of the Macintosh gaming community, Blizzard Entertainment has released an add-on for Diablo II and the Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion for Mac OS X. Macintosh gamers using the new OSX (v10.1 and subsequent versions) will now be able to play the blockbuster hit Diablo II in Carbonized form,' said Blizzard public relations coordinator Beau Yarbrough.
Diablo II and Lord of Destruction are action games set in a fantasy world filled with monsters and creatures. The game was originally released a couple of years ago and has proven be enormously popular on both Mac OS and Windows. Diablo II was released almost simultaneously for Mac OS and Windows -- only about a month a part -- and the expansion pack Lord of Destruction was released simultaneously for both platforms.
Diablo II was released before Mac OS X debuted, even as a public beta, so neither Diablo II nor Lord of Destruction up until now have featured native support for Mac OS X. Earlier this year Blizzard committed to releasing a 'Carbon' update for both applications to enable them to support Mac OS X natively.
Diablo 2 Mac Patch Manual 2017
It's the second time the popular game developer and publisher -- which handles its own Mac conversions in-house -- has released a Mac OS X update to one of its older titles. Previously, Blizzard released an OS X update to its popular futuristic real time strategy game Starcraft and Starcraft's expansion pack Brood War.
Blizzard is currently working on Warcraft III, a new game based on the company's first widely successful franchise. Billed as a 'role playing strategy game' (or RPS), Warcraft III will also be available for both Mac and Windows, and will support Mac OS X out of the box.
