Is it possible to run LoD at higher than 800x600?

[quad_65]

I was wondering if that's possible? I made a search but couldnt see anything related with that. I appreciate it if anyone can help. Thank you.

sure isnt.

What about running LoD in a window? Please, just tell me it's possible!

right click your shortcut, go to properties. after the quotes " on the command line add -w to run in windowed mode.

It automatically goes to 800x600? My screen resolution is set at 1024x786, but I can still run diablo 2.

I'm not sure if windowed mode changes anything, but the window is smaller than the entire screen.

It is possible to run Diablo II higher, but it would require alot of editing of files, and really not worth it. The reason why Diablo II only supports these 2 display settings and nothing higher is cause when the games were created these were the only 2 display settings that were designed for the most accurate and 3D like game environment. Noone seems to realize that most games that are as old or less than Diablo II run in this environment. The average monitor size from those times, and still today are 15" - 17" and yes although they support higher display apatures doesn't mean everything else should run them. The bigger the picture the more data that has to be processed, and could make the game play more choppy than it should be. Also I would like to point out the direct X version that comes with the game, if you read the support and help files that come with it, you would realize that those 2 screen sizes are that versions best 3D rates, and since it was designed for best performance under that version, than you would definately see why those are the only 2 screen size adjustments.

I used to play with PIII 933@1100 and GeForce2 Pro and it didnt have any problems 800x600. So I dont think that an Athlon 64 3200+ and a Geforce 6600GT would have problems running it 1280x1024.

By the way, thanks for explaining how to run D2 windowed. I think i'll manage.

I would run it in 1024x768.

As Dynimm said, type -w at the end of the properties command line.

However, all Direct3D supports will be canceled. So you will be running the game in software rendering, unless you do something stupid and do -opengl.
