Given how suddenly it went from "apparently fine" to "won't start up", probably. But it would definitely cost me, and everything else on that machine that matters was transferred long ago. I doubt I'll do anything.
Besides, if I do resume on patch 1.14, I only have one Guardian to go. And a skeleton necromancer is very well suited to self-found play. It's the character I started with, after all.
Update: I no longer have that 2015 model laptop with the inflamed battery. I took it in to the Apple Store for a technician to look at, and they were only able to offer two options:
- They do nothing. I go home with a dangerous machine that could spontaneously catch fire, even if I'm not using it. And maybe I find a third party shop that can do something.
- They take it off my hands to recycle. No money changes hands.
I chose the latter. So, no machines that can run any version of D2, short of installing an OS that's likely to run badly or setting up some form of Windows emulation. I won't go to that much trouble for this old game.
