Now, it still lags but mainly in more dense areas, but I haven't tested the severely more dense ubers and such. Before, it would stutter even in town or lightly populated zones. I thought the problem had been fixed, and it's still running better than before, but I still have performance issues. However, I changed it for game.exe (and D2SE.exe, for what it's worth) and It's smooth now! Thanks, Food! If an admin wants, this topic can be closed. I don't remember if I've done that since I've got my current computer, though, so that very well may be the problem.ĮDIT: Problem Solved! - I changed the compatibility for the Diablo II.exe, but it didn't do anything. I'll change the compatibility as you recommended, but it seems like I've done that before with no change in performance. It's on SP, although I'd imagine it'd happen on TSW as well.

You can try setting compatibility mode to windows XP but I don't know how much that could help. Is this a known problem with a documented fix, or should I provide video of what I'm talking about? It'd be a pain to provide, but I could record it on my phone and upload it if necessary.įood wrote:Do you play SP or on TSW? It happens to me too when I play online, I guess because of connection problems, I don't think it ever happened on SP though.
#DIABLO 2 DIRECTDRAW FIX WINDOWS 7#
I'm running on Windows 7 Home Premium with Intel Core i5 (2.5 GHz) processor, 8GB of RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 3000 video (laptop video card). I've also tried all three with -w (windowed mode), and in all cases I still experience these frame tears. I know that a more proper diagnosis would require more information than this, but I've tried running d2vidtest and switching to all three options available to me currently: DirectDraw, Direct3D, and Glide (Glide3-to-OpenGL Wrapper). It's really disorienting, and it's frustrating enough that I can't quite enjoy the game the same. The game seems to desync and then catch up quickly. However, I experience frequent frame skips (I don't know how else to describe it). It boots fine and even runs fine for the most part. Then computer goes really slow, and the game never launches.I've been having a problem running DII (and by extension Median) on my computer. nothing! It just shows the little hour glass mouse icon for a split sec, like its trying to load the game. Anyway, have any of you heard of this kinda problem? I can't get into the game at all, it will not launch, there is no error message, no pop up thats something is wrong, no black screen. My operating system is windows xp, and my video card is Nvidia (not sure which nvidia, not really a computer knowledgable guy).

I end up having to restart my computer to rid it of the "slowness" created by trying to launch D2. My computer then begins to go extremely slow as if it was trying to launch a game, but regardless of how long you wait, nothing happens. The little hour glass pops up for a split sec, and then nada. I put the cd in, the game pops up (or I use the game icon) to try and launch the game, and it does nothing. Like I said, I haven't tryed the standard diablo 2, but I am fairly sure it will just give me the same problem.Īnyway, here is the problem.
#DIABLO 2 DIRECTDRAW FIX INSTALL#
I own 2 cds of LOD, and neither work, so I highly doubt its the cd (plus it let me install the game without a problem).

I installed both diablo 2, and LOD without a problem, I haven't tryed the standard diablo 2, but I've been trying to start LOD, and its not working. I had a similiar problem with starcraft, but I set my resolution really low, and it fixed the problem, tryed that with d2.and no fix.

Anyway I used to be able to play this game back in the day, but now it seems it won't work. I read the common technical difficulties thread, and either I've arleady done what they said, or they don't apply to me. I came to this forum in hopes that maybe you guys could help me out in getting this game working again.
