2. Troubleshooting

a. Known Problems

Slain Hero bug
The game freezes if the Slain Hero is touched.

Multi Player and the hidden characters are disabled
This problem is caused by using a desktop shortcut that was created with the "send to" command. To avoid it, create a shortcut without using the "send to" command.

b. FAQ

How do I transfer my Diablo or Hellfire characters to Purgatory?
Just copy and rename the characters you wish to transfer. Single Player characters have to be renamed from single_#.sv (Diablo) or single_#.hsv (Hellfire) to single_#.psv; Diablo characters must be moved to the Hellfire directory. Multi Player characters, located in the Windows directory, have to be renamed from dlinfo_#.drv (Diablo) or hrinfo_#.drv (Hellfire) to purgmp_#.drv.
# denotes a number from 0 to 9.

I get the error message "storm.dll is missing".
Copy the file from your Hellfire CD to your Hellfire directory and replace the old one. The patch does not update this file.

c. Updates

Purgatory v0.40 is the final version and will not be updated.
