Difficulty appears to use Hellfire HP even when not playing hellfire

[Jupsto]

I wanted to try a level 1 hell difficulty run like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew64aKjehCM

But enemies appear to be using the hellfire version of difficulty scaling where they get +50 / +100 base hp (see here https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Difficulty), even though I'm launching the base diablo game, even tried removing all hellfire files/resintalling without them.

Which means no enemies can be killed at level 1 as they regenerate too fast. Would be good if there was a toggle between these difficulty scaling types.

This was a bug that was fixed

In what version? Because in 1.5.3 latest version of devilutionx even on nightmare difficulty enemies in level 1 seem to have ballpark of ~100 hp judging by the health bars being tickled a few % by damage.

Fixed since 1.5.0

EDIT: To be clear, the bug was that the monsters' hp was too low. The fix was to boost their hp. See #5970

• Monsters on Nightmare and Hell having too little HP

To elaborate on what DakkJaniels said: Vanilla Diablo wasn't applying the intended difficulty hp bonuses correctly due to a bug, and as a result, documentation on websites like that wiki likely reflect the actual mechanics. DevilutionX fixed the bug that was causing these bonuses not to be applied correctly.

The technical side is that that part of the code works on fractions of HP so increasing HP by 1 gets rounded too 0 in game
