This information is not correct. The GOG data file is identical to the CD release, all releases will work just fine (1.00 CD, 1.04 CD, 1.08 CD, Mac CD, GOG release, BattleNet release). patch_rt.mpq isn't even loaded so having it makes no difference.

Also there are only 16 levels in Diablo, so how would you get stuck on level 20...

I think the original author meant character level 20.
Saw that here

That page doesn't appear to mention 20, a crash or the patch mpq.

More likely it's a reference to the Hellfire crypt, we have see reports of the game crashing there where it turned our they where using it pirate copy with a damaged hellfire.mpq

Ah ok. Well there is nothing special happening at that hero level, it could be that they start finding items which triggered broken data from what ever file they used. But the post does appear to be dealing with some computer goblins.

There have also been instances where the MPQ file didn't transfer correctly from the CD or to the device over USB, here the solution is usually to try again. If someone doesn't already own Diablo I would recommend the GOG one as it works best on PC, but in combination with DevilutionX there isn't any difference between releases, so long as your files aren't damaged :)
