Thanks to the talented skills of a modder who goes by the name Sluggy you can now play Diablo 2 in any resolution that your pc can support! This is great news as no longer will my mouse slip out of the small window and open flash, no longer will my spells refuse to cast as I accidentally click my desktop instead! It comes at a cost though as you will not be able to participate in any Battle.net multiplayer stuff which is a shame I guess but in my opinion Diablo 2 is much better with close friends at a lan hyped up on coke (the drink you fools).

DOESNT SEEM TO WORK FOR EVERYONE, AND APPARENTLY YOU NEED LOD?

10:03 PMPosted by as said above, the game isn't any better, you can see stuff but doesn't help, and you can't go on battle.net. It is better though, in several ways. You don't need to use a 4:3 aspect ratio anymore.

So you gain a ton of real-estate, especially with character / inventory windows open. Nor does it it compromise your ability to even play the game ( windowed especially ), by having a forced 'stretching' of the game render to fit it to your aspect ratio / size. You're using a higher resolution, so you're essentially 'shrinking' the pixels, which creates an artificial AA effect. On top of that, your environmental, vegetation, and landscape effects become more clear, giving you better overall visual quality and aesthetic.

Being able to see more on the screen at once, and at a farther range is going to be a plus. It makes many builds play differently, being able to react sooner and/or set up mobs with more accuracy ( like laying traps ). ( If you could use it online, it would make it so builds like bowzon couldn't just outrange you or hide behind the short click range on important movement skills ( hello sins.

But that's a different discussion ) 4. Having more resolution options means you can actually customize your experience based on your needs. Run multiple instances of the game at once?

Now you can easily have them all in windows without it being 'too small to see' or using up hardly any of your screen space. Want to be able to utilize an actual 'windowed fullscreen' effect for multitasking ( or computer issues )?

Now you're covered. It lets you rely less ( or have your view obstructed ) on the 'minimap' by having more space to work with. This functions in the same manner as mentioned above, where some players just play with their inventory open at all times. It definitely makes interactions in town more fluid and less irritating, being able to see, click, and interact with everything without having to constantly open and close UI elements all the time. It makes the game 'age well', considering its age. Playing the game on its 800x600 ( or you poor souls still using vanilla for some reason 640x480 ) is just painful a lot of the time now, considering being so accustomed to much higher resolutions for the last 15 years. Some people get immediately ( or shortly ) put off by how the game just 'looks'; having a high resolution helps alleviate ( or stave it off ) that from happening.

Everything mechanically works just fine ( or better ) with a higher resolution; the game should have never been capped at such a low resolution for its day and age ( 1024x768, 1240x720, and the like, were actually common resolutions by then ) 7+. The only argument to be made for having the default resolutions is 'hitting mobs at range, because they don't aggro so quickly'.which is entirely moot because you can do the same thing already by just 'force shooting' off screen.which is absolutely common practice. Having a higher screen space just makes the action less clunky ( and more enjoyable ), without actually changing how the game plays. This is not a case of 'less is more' or that having more options hinders the original design of the game. Having a low resolution on D2 was always a performance choice, not a balance choice, because the game did chug along during those days.even with a good computer. Mass particle effect 'lag' was super common.
