New ddraw.dll keeps crashing on Multiplayer -> Create game

[Goetterfleisch1337]

Hey bayaraa, hey guys,

i tried to install fullHDpackage(D2GL-MXL) with Widescreen and d2fps for medianXL. With D2GL-MXL dlls from 27/05/2023 it works very well but if i change them with the new D2GL.v1.3.3. from 13/01/2024 the game crashes on [Multiplayer] -> [Create Game]. ? If i switch to the old files it works very well, i was able to find out that the crashes only occur with the new ddraw.dll.

There are also (for me) some confusing instructions like:
"
Download desired version from Releases and extract into Diablo 2's installation folder.
D2 1.14d dropped software rendering. So don't put ddraw.dll into game folder.
"
Should i put it now in Game folder or not ?

In the Widescreen instructions with SGD2FreeRes i cant find the json? Any advices?
"
Add desired resolution to SGD2FreeResolution.json.
If SGD2FreeResolution.json is not exist run game once it will create one.
"

Finally i could see in the logs "[ERROR] SGD2FreeRes.dll not loaded." i only downloaded zip and extracted to game folder like in the instructions. Can anybody tell me in which folder or subfolders i should put these files? Same with d2fps: "[ERROR] d2fps.dll not loaded"

i Logged d2gl.log on creating game in multiplayer crash:
