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.

Additional Comments

Admin note: rating changed to conform to the rating definitions.

This mod does not work with patch 1.13. You MUST be updated only to 1.12 for this to work.   This is not a wine issue, as it ocurrs on Windows as well.

Known bugs
Bug # Description Status Resolution Other apps affected

 
WARNING: Alt+tab

You can try doing whatever you want with the window(in a window mode, of course), but with full-screen it's not like that. After few alt+tabs, or a screen move(alt+drag) the game will no longer be at full screen - you'll be able to see the task bars, or even worse, the "window" will be lost, but the process will be on.

If you play full-screen, do not try moving the screen.

Also, when doing alt+tab on windowed mode, when you get back, the game will be freezed. Just press alt+enter, and it will get back as normal.


 
WARNING: Clicking on start

While playing the intro, if you click your mouse without previously being moved, you will open the trash.

 Move the mouse when the "blizzard" intro comes in, and click. This happens because the mouse possition is at the bottom-right corner of the screen.


 
WARNING: First Run!
On the first entering in the game, you can see all the graphics glitched: the inventory, character screen, skills, the stash - it will all be a mess, items not adopted to the "background". Just change the resolution and everything will be okay!

 
ALT+CLICK combination

Window managers often have the alt key bound to certain features, especially the alt-click. This is not a wine bug. If you have problems with the alt key in any way do not report it. Fix your window manager. I'm not going to list steps for every one because there are too many possibilites. Figure out yourself or ask in a help forum (here is okay... but be warned all I use is TWM). If you are desperate, turn off window manager managed windows in winecfg.

KDE

Go into KDE Control Center, expand Desktop, click window behavior, then click window actions tab. You can turn off the alt-combos. If you want to make window specific settings, click on window specific settings under window behavior on the side.

GNOME 2

The option to change the key binding is in System Menu -> Preferences Menu -> Windows.

Doesn't work with LoD 1.13c
by pazuzu on Sunday August 8th 2010, 12:47
Doesn't work with the latest patch LoD 1.13c under wine 1.2 (which, in turn works flawlessly).
I installed vcrun2005, but still I get the message:
"Unable to load D2MultiRes.dll"

D2MultiRes
by Troy Cotter on Monday February 8th 2010, 18:26
In order to get this to work with up to date Arch Linux i686 and wine-1.1.38 all I needed to do was install vcrun2005 using winetricks.

Multires won't start
by erik on Wednesday December 9th 2009, 14:14
Installed D2 + LOD + Patch 1.11b successfully, runs smooth in DirectDraw with D2Loader-1.11b.exe (natural game.exe doesn't start, always asks for cd, even if mounted and drive settings are correct. 800x600 is cut off at the bottom though, so I could only play in 640x480 -.-).


But I can't get MultiRes to start, "wine D2MultiResGame.exe" always results in error-prompt "Unable to load D2MultiRes.dll" although its located in the same directory, no output in the shell, btw.
I've already installed winetricks vcrun2005 dotnet20 msxml6.

I'm running out of patience, ideas anyone? Help would be hugely appreciated.

Command Line Option?
by Michael Park on Sunday November 1st 2009, 3:40
How do you exactly add command line options in Wine? I tried "wine D2MultiRes.exe -direct -txt" and some other variations, but it did not work.

After installing vc2005trial and vc2005sp1 with winetrick, I managed to execute D2MultiRes.exe, but I really don't understand how I am suppose to run the mod...

:(
