Copy the two files directly into your Diablo II directory. (note PlugY version 11 has many useful stash functions such as insert/rename/delete/swap/index stash pages)

(We will run the game using PlugY.exe, so there’s no need to run ‘PatchD2File.exe’) Next, download PlugY 11.02 (confirmed working with 1.13c + D2MultiRes), and copy the contents of the unzipped PlugY download into your Diablo II directory. Run D2VidTst.exe (you can skip the test) and choose DirectDraw (D2MultiRes does not support glide, but fortunately DirectDraw seems to work just fine on Windows 10). Once installed, you’ll want to set ‘Diablo II.exe’, ‘Game.exe’ and ‘D2VidTst.exe’ to run as an administrator and in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode.

Specific instructions for how to do this can be found online – you’ll need to get an earlier version and patch it to 1.13c, or, use a downgrade method. This version is the final content update the game received, and is also compatible with all of the necessary mods. This guide will specifically apply to Windows 10, but earlier versions of windows should work too (may require additional compatibility tweaks).įirst, you will need a 1.13c version installation of Diablo II LoD. You need not wait to play Diablo 2 in full widescreen on modern PCs! It is already possible to play Diablo 2 single player in true widescreen resolutions, with all of the features that PlugY provides including an unlimited stash and access to ladder-only content.
