• A change to base item classes for rings, and several changes to Unique Items table. This should bring a better variety of unique drops and enables six previously unfindable items. However, this change to the Item Tables will morph items on existing Diablo characters. Make sure you back up your characters before playing, or be on the safe side and simply roll new ones for Diablo Fixed. (Full details on the change are available here.)

• Backported NT4 sound fix from 1.09b patch.
• Enabled 8 bosses which previously had incorrectly set dlvl values.

If you are interested in playing Diablo Fixed on battle.net, I am running a PvPGN server for Diablo I at nwserver.ath.cx where players can meet and play. You’ll need to add the gateway to your Gateways list – there is a .reg file with the updated list in the Release zip. Double-clicking will add it (but it deletes all other unofficial Blizzard gateways, so if you have any others, use a gateway editor to make the change instead!)

Server status

Also up for discussion is the “bug” where resistances cause you to no longer block spells. Bug or no? Here is the fix, from http://www.thedark5.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=998&PN=6:

Here is the code for 1.09. This also allows blocking spells with resistances like in Hellfire.
Get stunned/block spells with resistances
