Does Diablo 2 Resurrected support TCP/IP P2P multiplayer? In the technical alpha, players were able to use TCP/IP features.

The wounds are still fresh, and despite having high expectations, people are more cautious, hoping that Blizzard has learned from past failures. Former Vicarious Visions is working on Diablo 2 Resurrected. Still, the unpleasant memories of the WarCraft 3 Reforged fiasco are still strong amongst gamers, as one of the most beloved Blizzard games of all time was mutilated and stripped of many functions present in the original version of the game.
