Diablo II
Single & Multiplayer Role Playing
Diablo II
Blizzard Entertainment | Released Jun 29, 2000
Since the beginning of time, the forces of Order and Chaos have been engaged in an eternal struggle to decide the fate of all Creation. That struggle has now come to the Mortal Realm...and neither Man, Demon, nor Angel will be left unscathed.
D2MultiRes Version 1.02
Description
This unofficial "patch" allows you to play Diablo II in resolutions other than 640x480 and 800x600. It is, for the most part, completed, but there are still a few issues that have not been worked out. The "patch" lets you select any resolution 640x480 or higher that is supported by your current display adapter/monitor. There are no other changes to the game other than this.
The downloaded "patch" should consist of 4 files:
- D2MultiRes.txt
- D2MultiResGame.exe
- D2MultiRes.dll
- D2MultiRes.mpq
To install, simply copy D2MultiResGame.exe, D2MultiRes.dll and D2MultiRes.mpq to your Diablo II directory. You do not need to copy over or replace any of your files, and none of your files will be changed. At the moment, D2MultiRes only supports the GDI (windowed mode) and DirectDraw graphics plugins. If you are using Glide you'll almost certainly crash. If you're using Direct3D you'll be able to run Diablo II, but expect to see some funky graphic glitches while playing the game. To switch to DirectDraw, run D2VidTst.exe (found in your Diablo II directory) and choose the DirectDraw option. You shouldn't notice any major drawbacks for using DirectDraw over Direct3D, so for most users this probably won't be a problem.
To run, start D2MultiResGame.exe. You may use any of the normal command line options available when playing Diablo II, such as "-w" for windowed or "-direct -txt" for mods. Diablo II will start in its normal resolution, however when playing a game you will be able to switch to a new, higher resolution. To do so, just go to the Video Options menu and select the Resolution menu item. This will bring up a new panel that will list your available resolutions. Click the one you wish to play in and
Diablo II will switch to that resolution.

Filefront just don't works for me D:
Please, reupload it somewhere...
I wanna play it badly...
Yeah, same here. This is actually the best timing imaginable, because not a week ago I decided to play through the game again, and quite frankly, my 24in 1920x1200 monitor is just an elaborate magnifying glass.
So please fix it...
well I got the download...but It doesn't seem to work...every time I try and run it in directdraw (like the read me says) it never starts, and when I booted it up in compatibility mode it gave me weird errors. So I said screw it, Ill deal with it tomorrow, and reverted everything back to normal and now I'm missing a character, and I'm a lot worse than I used to be...
Don't ask me how it happened, but now I'm level 6, and one of my characters is gone.
If if were to guess, I would say something went wrong when changing the compatibility mode, and it may be reading a previous save, or no save at all.
Or maybe it doesn't work with windows 7.
Had to modify the registry, but I got it to run.
Unable to load d2multires.dll!! u.u its only 1.12 patch ? not work with 11.b ?
iam having same problem problem as innu using patch 1.11b
hmm just tryed checking if updating to 1.12 helped and it did indeed this mod is very nice i em using it with direct 3d (having problems with directdraw in all games that uses it) and i em having no issues other then small glitches you whant notice at all after a few min of play
it was about time something like this would be released. is it compatible with other mods ???
Got some visual artefacts with 1680x1050 but 1440x900 seems to work like charm.
Thank you for this awesome mod!

can it be played online or does battle.net kill it?
does it work with median and plugy?
playing it using median with no problems
but u cant use it with plugy right?
nope
Does this support widescreen resolutions?
yep
One more thing I forgot, If you are running Vista or Windows 7, make sure you run video test and select Direct 3d because Directdraw will not work.
To start the game you have to click on the D2MultiRes Icon and not the Diablo 2 icon.
I am running Vista and I ran the game in DirectDraw and Direct 3d. Both produced this problem: I3.photobucket.com
That blurr at the bottom comes in and out, and that tree spike will run across the screen. It's playable but not ideal..
Anyone have a fix?
Turn off perspective is you are running a high res, and it WILL fix the problem.
i was wonderin if the mod works on other mods ??
hmm it's great but direct3d lags in 1024x768 with perspective turned on. 3dfx glide works a lot better but the game crashes with a glide wrapper. sigh... looks like i'll have to stick with 800x600 for now
The game runs faster on Vista or Windows 7. Noticeably faster. I believe this is due to superfetch.
Obviously the game is going to crash with a glide wrapper since you need a 3dFX card to run glide, and they been out of business for nearly a decadse now.
Is it safe for me to play battle.net with this mod installed?
Any one have a link for an un-infected download of this ? as the file D2MULTIRES.DLL in this one has the W32/Bongler-based!Maximus infection in it which scans wow accounts ect..
Hye everybody,
I have the big problem with the dll message.
I tried to use this patch but without any luck because, all i have tried give the same error message : "Unable to load D2MultiRes.dll"
1) First, i re-install the game in this way : Diablo2/lod/patch 1.12/multires.
2) My second search was on a post but i cannot include the url because i haven't been registered for 7 days.
Anyway,I install the package C++ 2005 redistributable. Doesn't change anything
3) So, I install the 2008 C++ redistributable just in case there was some tools missing in versionning. Doesn't work.
4) I tried 2008 redistributable SP1. lol.
5) I'm using "filemon" to inspect the behavior of d2multires.exe.
It seems d2multireslog.txt is missing because d2multires.exe encounters a sort of "buffer overflow" when loaded.
At this time, i have empty all ressources in the net so if someone could help, i will be grateful.
My config :
Windows XP SP2
AMD64 X2 (+3800)
Winfast A400 tdh (geforce 6800)
4Gb memory
Matrox TripleHead2go with 3 LCD.
Diablo 2 and lod in version english.
Thank you.
