The second requirement is less well known, but was confirmed by Blizzard in an FAQ posted to the official Diablo website on Thursday. (Don’t worry, you won’t lose your old characters, nor will you lose your seasonal characters when the season ends.)

The first - well publicized, if not well understood - is that you will need to create a fresh, level 1 seasonal character to participate in the season. It also interacts with Diablo 4’s first battle pass to unlock new cosmetics and bonuses for seasonal characters.īut there are two significant requirements for entry to the season. The season brings a new quest line, which takes place after the events of the main campaign, as well as a new gameplay mechanic revolving around socketable Malignant Hearts that will superpower your character and enable “stupid broken” new character builds. If NOT set correctly, you will probably get error messages such as "unknown stat found: 21".Diablo 4’s first season, Season of the Malignant, arrives on July 20 - and it sounds almost like a mini expansion for Blizzard’s hit dungeon-crawler. If using WinXP, it might also help to right-click on Hero Editor.exe, select Properties, and in the Compatibility tab, select Windows 95 mode. Also (MOST IMPORTANT for Win XP/Vista) make sure that you have the language setting for English (in BOTH the Regional Options tab, and the Advanced tab). Make sure the Unicode setting is for single bytes.

(NOTE: I have never had this problem, but others tell me this solved the problem for them.) From your Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) run Regional Settings, look for something about Unicode. Hero Editor usually requires that you are using an English version of Windows and your computer is set for single byte letters/Unicode, NOT multiple byte letters/UniCode. BTW, if a message comes up re “Version Conflict”, answer yes (to keep the newer file that you already have). Run (double click) the"setup.exe" file (or just "setup", if you have known file extensions hidden), and follow the directions (Click on the big button, on the left side). There should be three files ("setup.lst", "setup.exe", "Hero Editor.CAB").
