Since it seems that the current trend in modding RPGs is to get them working in higher resolutions, Diablo II couldn't be the exception: get it here bitches! Any excuse to reinstall Diablo and kill a couple of Fallen Ones again is a good excuse, anyway.



Does not work on closed Realms. (who plays on Cheater.net anyway?)
Works better under DirectDraw video mode.

The catch probably is suspended CD key at battle.net because server will immediately detect is as a "maphack" (the game will request much more tiles from the server than the one in original resolution).

No one plays Diablo as a single player. Good idea, but useless.

Yeah, it's a couple of months old, but I couldn't find it here on the Codex so maybe I'm doing a couple of unaware guys a favor.

As for the bugs, I can't really tell. Test it yourselves, motherfuckers.

Yeah, collecting 100 SoJs to get your hands on a low % Annihilus sounds like pure awesome.

And for your info I play it on Single Player, and so do many friends of mine.

If this were made into an official patch I might just start replaying D2 again. I've been suckered back into D2 multiplayer like five times since launch. Must... resist...

Battlenet sucks now but years ago when Blizzard supported it and fought with cheaters (less cheats existed/were available to the public anyway) it was amazing. SP Diablo 2 is a mediocre game, try at least to play with friends (with hamachi or something).

And you can bypass the cheaters by playing with a small group of people you know as we did for several months ;p

I actually started playing singleplayer recently...Trying out a Frenzy/Double Throw Barb...

Really wish you had a larger stash though :\

We could always start up the Codex game again...I still have all my chars from our last run (including mules).

To max out you need the last parts of hell.

Players 8.

And hell is really hard.

Ahh...I forgot how much I enjoyed this multiplayer.

Just finished a good five hour run with some friends of mine...Pity they're playing non-hardcore on US West. Although the non-hardcore is probably a good thing, as we had several deaths early on XD (Having to start from scratch made me sad, though...)

And you can never really max out your skills. Some spec's can cap out early due to the lack of synergies, but for, say, a Vengeance Pally, you're looking at 20 in each of the three base resist buffs, 20 in Conviction, around a dozen for prerequisites, and a handful in Vengeance itself. The only classes that can really cap their skills are ones have very few synergies...

Those Blizzard games still look good, but damn they look even more so in high-res.
