Diablo – Friend can’t connect to the Diablo 2 LAN game

Copying the save file should be sufficient to copy your character to another computer, but I'd be suspicious that the file has some sort of ID to identify the character -- logging into one game with the same ID from two computers could be a problem.

I don't know that this ID is present, but I'd expect one to be there.

1) So, to answer your first question, IDK, but my gut says probably not possible to play the same character twice in one game.

2) No, moving the files around shouldn't cause an issue with playing online. I've used a save game editor to create characters - I play through Steam even - and didn't have any issues using the editor-created character single player or online.

Maybe you could rebuild a character to the point that you were at if you have issues?

This is the editor I've used: http://blog.gib.me/2013/04/18/borderlands-2-save-editor-revision-155/

I have tested this and with the IPX wrappers I was only able to get 2 players going at a time. On attempting to get a 3rd player into the IPX LAN the game would crash. The only way I was able to get it working was to actually build 4 winxp virtual machines in VirtualBox and install the actual IPX protocol on each.

Virtualbox is also great because even though the resolution of the game is only 640 X 480 virtualbox allows you to stretch the 640 x 480 resolution to whatever your native screen resolution is.
