I updated to the 1.13c patch (I have D2 and LOD) and I get this when I try to run D2MultiResGame.exe - 'ERROR: Unable to load D2MultiRes.dll. Exiting Diablo 2.' Funny thing is the dll is in the folder along with the other three files, just like the readme instructed.
^ for classic ^ for expansion click the Direct Download Link right beneath the big green 'Download Now' button. I just bought another copy about a week ago and have been playing it again. I 'gave away' my copies in 2004 since all my time was going towards World of Warcraft at the time. Who knew 10 years later i'd want to play Diablo II again.
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.
