I've only recently been playing D2 since D3 isn't too far away and as I'm so used to every game that I play being in full screen I find it hard to play when D2 is less than half the size of my monitor. If anyone can help me run D2 in a high res please feel free to reply! Thanks  | ||

If you run it in a window (add -w) you can maximize the window and keep the proportions. | ||

So no, there is no high resolution patch for D2. Plus that would be cheating, since in 2D games more resolution means seeing more of the game world, not just sharper images. | ||

If that doesn't work, try going into start ---> programs ---> Diablo II folder and changing something in the video settings there. There's also a program (essentially a hack, or a mod if you like it less criminal'ish) that lets you change the resolution in the game up to 1400x900. If you're going to play SP you'll be fine, but if you use it on B.net you might get banned, because it changes some intervals that aren't supposed to be tinkered with. Even Blizzard said the game isn't supposed to run in anything higher than 1024xsomething. The game just isn't built that way. They tried to patch in higher resolutions, but they utterly failed. It's hardcoded into the game as much as the stash size. Also, PM a mod to move this thread into the | ||

And getting banned from D2 is the least of my worries. And yes, at the moment im running in windowed mode by changing the properties of the launch icon. but i want the quality on full screen . | ||

I did play diablo 2 for a long time at like 1.11 or something, but multires must not have been very popular then or something, because even after looking for something like it, I couldn't find one (or one I did find didn't work). | ||

Yea i tried using that which i have done before but when I follow the instructions from the readme file I then go to open the game and it says "The ordinal 286 could not be located in the dynamic link library Storm.dll." Bit of a FML moment. Im guessing it is something to do with my version or watever, I kinda cant be bothered changing anything to get it to work though haha | ||
