I have a back up copy of Diablo 2 will it mess with Win 7?


Recommended Posts

I just found an old back up copy of Diablo 2 in my closet. Do you think if I install it, it will do something silly and install direct x 7 over what I currently have?

No you will be able to install it without causing any issues with Windows 7 however, a fare warning is that it will look like garbage on your screen as it was never ported to a wide screen format.

Played recently on Windows 7 x86. It runs ok-ish but I found it to be better windowed as the text has no anti-alising or smoothing. You will probably get screen colour issues for the videos due to 256 colours / 16bit colour like many old bullfrog or Sierra games.

You may need to run the no CD patch because I found it would not authenticate my retail CD for the copy protection but if you have access to your key, you can also register it on Battle.net and download a digital stand alone copy.

Nah, it will work just fine. But there could be some issue with windows positions after you exit the game (that works at an 800x600 pixels resolution)...
