How do you get Diablo 2 in full screen mode?

[skyler2011]

D2MultiRes.txt
D2MultiResGame.exe
is what was stated it should b and those two don't have.txt or .exe at the end of them.

You need to have 4 new files in the Diablo 2 directory:

D2MultiRes.txt
D2MultiResGame.exe
D2MultiRes.dll
D2MultiRes.mpq

Don't worry about file name extensions, just copy the files into Diablo and run the exe.

You need to download and install the Diablo 2 High Resolution Mod.

The downloaded "patch" consists of 4 files:

D2MultiRes.txt
D2MultiResGame.exe
D2MultiRes.dll
D2MultiRes.mpq

Copy D2MultiResGame.exe, D2MultiRes.dll and D2MultiRes.mpq to your Diablo II directory. Run D2VidTst.exe (found in your Diablo II directory) and choose the DirectDraw option.

To run, start D2MultiResGame.exe. Diablo II will start in the standard resolution, when playing a game you will be able to switch to a new, higher resolution. To do so, 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.

I did everything up to the point where I double click on D2 MultiResGame and nothing happened.

It says start D2MultiResGame.exe so I clicked on it. and it said there was an error.

Hmm, i will need a bit more information about your setup now, could you please provide information about your system. CPU, Motherboard, Video Card etc. Also what was the error specifically?

 

[skyler2011]

unable to load d2multires.dll. exiting d2... im not sure where to find that information. would it b under basic computer information? also, that file doesn't have .exe at the end or an icon next to it... everything else has an icon

 

[Clinkz]

Are you sure all four files you downloaded are in the Diablo 2 folder? please confirm this.

 

[skyler2011]

yes d2 multi res log and all the others

Ok then, you need to download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package from Microsoft, here is the link.

 

[skyler2011]

are there instructions? is it the same process as before? should i delete the files just put in there from the directory?

 

[Clinkz]

Basically, No. This installer is separate to Diablo 2 altogether, you will not need to move/change anything. All you need to do is download the software from the link and install it on your computer.

d2 won't open at all anymore. i tried to run the vid test after downloadin the latter, and it's telling me error 22. i think these have really messed things up...

I'm honesty not sure what you have done, both the mod and the game run perfectly fine on Windows 7 32/64 bit. The mod does not change any Diablo 2 files at all. Try this for me, double click Diablo II.exe and tell me if you get an error message at all.

Thanks for all the info here.
I have downloaded it and try

 

[skyler2011]

There is no Diablo II.exe in the directory. there is a Diablo II with the game icon next to it, and when i click it it does the blue circle loading motion next to the cursor. but that's it. there is a Diablo II.exe.trash? Should i uninstall and delete everything and try the process again?

 

[skyler2011]

The graphics on the game are messed up now too. Re-installing will give me a fresh slate to work with, right?

 

[Clinkz]

No don't trash anything game files, if you reinstall the game you could try the process again with a clean install.

 

[skyler2011]

what do you mean? trash anything game files? don't delete the 2 things i just downloaded and just uninstall and reinstall the game? i was thinking get rid of EVERYTHING n start from the beginning. this way we could pinpoint exactly where the problem is

 

[Clinkz]

just uninstall the game from programs and features in control panel, then go into program files and trash the folder there.
