Widescreen Gaming Forum

My guess is it will scale the widescreen ratios with stretching.

Here's the word from the horse's mouth: the D3DWindower is simply just a larger window; it doesn't support any different or larger resolutions. I suppose the purpose was so you could play @ 800x600 in a large window similar to how you play in full screen only in windowed mode.

The method that -does- support a larger resolution, specifically, 1300x700, is considered a hack by Blizzard and -will- get you banned.

Another method of unknown origin or reliability; from the thread discussion, sounds like ban material--if you don't get banned immediately, eventually you will be:

I am a moderator over on Edge of Nowhere, one of our other moderators is currently trying to fix the few bugs with the 2d screens and the belt, He will also be providing more resolutions including widescreen ones such as 1280x800 and 1280x720.

Widescreen patch for Diablo2 in the following link:

Confirmed it works myself, minor graphical glitches (mainly on the menus).

Very nice.

DO NOT use this on Battle.Net though. Any changes to your Diablo II folder will get your account and CDKey banned now.

Hmmmm. Maybe I will try and get a report up.

On second thought, I will pass. D3D is still too unstable at the moment and I have no interest in doing it in DirectDraw.


On the bright side this is one if the few pixel-based games that is playable in 1920x1200. Aside from the crippling slowdown that is.
