Hello D2 speedrunning community,

With much help from the Phrozen Keep community (they are amazing and did most of the work), I have created a patch which fixes the single player shop bug -- the one that occurs if you buy too quickly with left click. The modification of the game to fix this is MINIMAL, only requiring changing a single byte of code. I'm curious if the community would be interested in this patch and allow it for speedrunning or if you'd rather deal with the bug (open belt and escape, then go back to shop).

Regards, Owna

As someone who also encounters this bug fairly often I want to say I am interested, but then again it's a modification. Even if it is a very small one I would feel better if we would stick to the vanilla game as much as possible.

it's technically a mod of the game so I'd say leave it out for speedrunning purposes. Keeping the original bugs in the game, for better or for worse, is a part of speedrunning, and unless it's an official patch from Blizzard it should not be allowed. I'm sure casual players could appreciate it, though!
