digged somewhere in reddit:
Everyone knows now that blizzard require to be online atleast once in a while, All thanks to the discord people we can now play Diablo 2 offline.

  1. Install Base game Diablo 2 without the update.
  2. Create a character with offline option.
  3. Save the game.
  4. Back up the save game using JKSV.
  5. Copy the backup file to computer and look for the setting.json.
  6. Open with notepad and add "User Last Online": 1632400000000000000,
Example:

{

"Language": 0,

"VoiceLanguage": 0,

"GammaHD": 3040,

"Safe Screen Percent": 100,

"Aux Battle.net": "216.148.246.34",

"User Last Online": 1632400000000000000,

"First Time": 1,

"Tutorial": 13,

"Always Run": 0

}

7. Save it and paste in your switch jksv backup.

8. Restore the save file and Update the Diablo 2 into 1.0.0.1 version.

9. Have fun and play.

EDIT: make sure to use linkahol or tinfoils fake account before doing all this stuff.

NOTE: Do not edit anything inside the settings.json just add in the line the bold example above.

This.
Remember to add the line before the last bracket "}", and add a comma to the already existing last line, before adding the new one.
Having a fake account linked as well was necessary for me to make it work with the update tho.
You can use linkalho or tinfoil for that.


Code:
{
* some lines *
* last line *,
"User Last Online":163240000000000000
}

This is all spam considering this method has been explained often enough and I shared even a pre-made save file.

It says so in the very top already... It needs an account linked to your profile you try to play the game with, use either Tinfoil (recommended) or linkalho (doesn't seem to work sometimes whysoever) for that but ONLY on emuNAND.

I used Edizon SE to extract saves. On my save folder at least there were TWO settings.json files. One in the root directory, and one in a settings folder. The one in the root directory has a ton of options set, including "User Last Online". The one in the settings folder had much fewer and no "User Last Online" setting. That second, smaller .json, seems to be the one you have to edit, where you have to add that line outright. Editing the first bigger one in root did nothing for me.

In short look for /[save folder]/settings/settings.json , that's the one to edit.

The savegamefix didnt work.
I hadnt previously installed the updates: I follow all the steps, from 1.0 play the game, restore the save, update and then i get error for authetification.

Ok, i installed 1.0, make a character, save on jskv, edit my own json save as it is indicated ("User Last Online": 1632400000000000000,) here, installed v 1.02 and IT WORKS.
Thank you!

P.D.: the aux.battle.net string was differente too (last number was 8 on mine), i changed it to what its indicated here too.

the ONLY reason to load v1.0 is to create the save to edit in the first place. that's really not necessary anymore unless you are editing the save yourself. the settings file will also be overwritten by a default version if its not formatted properly. you know this has happened when the game wants you to go through setup again such as calibrating the brightness

The fix is included in this thread and you have to look around - on first page.

There is no way, beyond the solution that posted in this thread.

I went through almost all this thread.
At first, I did get an error about online account and I used linkalho to bypass it and it's gone. But then got the error "unable to start software"
So I deleted the game, and tried again:
Installed the base game only, got "A software update is required. Update date will be downloaded now" error.
Installed game update, got "unable to start software"
Help!
