I am not sure if it should be the case but I loaded my save file and then edited and copy pasted that into my save folders. When I opened the game I had no characters available.

Are you on the latest version of the game?

Sat Apr 22 2023 by Prowner

Character missing when as well. Already on latest (v2.4.3) version of D2R.

It would appear that Mercs don't load in either (when creating from new). Should really have a button somewhere to define which act and which type the mercenary is too. Cheers!

After resetting the skill tree I can't add up the skill points, it still says "0 skill choice remaining" in red. Can someone with a similar situation help me?

You can normally increase your unused skill points under the general tab, does that work?

when i make a character and save to my game files, it never appears in game. what am i doing wrong?

Tue Oct 01 2024 by Richard Thomas

FTJ issue. I have determined that spawning the set item 'angelic halo' (ring) and changing it into a 'rare' rather then a 'set' will cause FTJ when trying to use the character. I do not know if this applies to other set items as i have not tried. Not a big deal but just an FYI for anyone who might be having issues.

Further note. I did have an issue where after modding a character and/or item, D2R would crash after the boot up cinematic. I don't know if this was related. I solved the issue by deleting/renaming the D2R save folder and creating new characters. I never create items beyond the capabilities of what an item can spawn with in game. I just use it to test different builds and min maxing characters to see how effective they can be. An over-hacked item/character would not have been the cause.

Thanks Mitchell, the set/unique -> rare/magic is an issue that's on my radar. Thanks for the details!

created a level 1 character with nothing special apart from the lut golein waypoint selected additionally - this waypoint is not available when I load that save

edit: needs act 1 quest 6 completion, too.

maybe worth it to hint at that in the editor

Mon Nov 25 2024 by Chef#2184

will see if I can add a hint in the future

The editor generally works very well, but I have one, pretty big issue:

Passive skills seem not to work on my "cheaty" characters.

Not sure whether I did something wrong, or whether it is some sort of bug.

I created a Amazon/Archer character in game, then gave her 1000 stat points and 250 skill points and 2 rings that give her +100% on XP earned and some other buffs useful for a starter character (like higher chance of getting magical items, bigger light radius aso.)

The XP boost seems to work and I can give her the extra stat- and skill-points (the latter only after I reached the correct level), but the extra light radius on the rings does not work and the passive skill that is supposed to illuminate enemies doesn't work either. It did work in the first dungeon, but not since.

I am not sure, but I have to assume the other passive Amazon skills are not working either.

Seems like something broke over the weekend and now waypoints are not edible (at least, not consistently)? Having trouble editing my hell SC sorc's WPs, but my normal SC barb's WPs are editable.

I'll have a look

Mon Jan 12 2026 by Prowner

looks like the min-max damage is under the % ED affix for making a base and no way to add % ED like a base item would have. Just a heads up.

It displays as a min max, but if you set both values equally it changes to ED. Much like resist all, you set each resist equally and it changes to resist all.

The illuminate enemies on amazon is not a passive skill, it's a spell. You have to hotkey and cast it.

I read something about the editor breaking chronicles on reddit. Is that fixed? looking around in here and don't see an immediate answer.

only the shared stash messes with the chronicle. If you just edit a character save, nothing is impacted.
