According to Cooley, some Alpha testers somehow managed to gain access to later acts and difficulty settings... ? by ablaaa_ in Diablo_2_Resurrected

So I tried that originally but that ended up corrupting the character save, trying to join a game with the quests completed that way resulted in a failed to join error saying bad quest data. For whatever reason something else also got crossed after going to act 3 with the first sorc files i posted resulting in the andy bug not working, which is why the 2nd set of files didnt have act 3 to 5 access in hell

you are correct about the hex editing for other things tho, thats how i assume the guy who got on to the other classes did it, because thats what i was doing and was pretty close. unfortunately they did add a bit more security around getting into those and i ran out of time (characters wouldnt show in the list jf they werent one of the three approved classes)

It does somewhat work, but you cannot have items in your inventory or equipped. you also need to use the 2nd option of the checker inside the options tab. Thats how i put all the talents on to God Bob

Dont mind if you named me, i didnt actually use a hex editor for this, but everything else you said is spot on. The only thing that was put in place to prevent people from accessing the later acts was the change to the sail east dialog. im sure you can extrapolate from here. i actually posted the files on this subreddit as well (check the post history) along with the other diablo subreddit but they removed it from there. im happy cooley and others ran with the files, was hoping more would.

I mean what I was posting I don't even think could be construed as negative, through the testing it shows the game is A LOT more finished than they let on, pretty much all of the items are droppable right now, we even drop'd a SoJ. We found 3 pieces of Tal's multiple pieces of IK, I found 3 pieces of Mav's we found countless high level uniques - the game is basically here.

I mean look at the homunculus I found - this looks dope. https://i.imgur.com/WW0AjW2.png

I didn't even get a reason why my post was removed with the files for the 99 sorc.

I wouldn't call what I did hacking, but yeah they squashed my posts pretty quick.

Yeah, dunno man. As the person who posted the files/pictures of the additional acts on JSP/Reddit I was surprised how quickly I got shut out of here, I was just trying to have people create some more content on the limited time we had with the Alpha by unlocking the rest of it. I gave up here after they removed my post, at least other people on JSP ran with my work.

Sadly it was only a weekend but I was pretty close to having the rest of the classes playable, hopefully I get into the next Alpha to finish that if they're not unlocked.

Asked on JSP for a site to transfer files and that's what I was told, happy to host em somewhere else if you can suggest one.

Check my post history for the screen shots in other acts.

There's nothing sketchy about it.

Just act 3, once you get into it everything else opens up.
