Diablo on Widows Vista / 7

If you would like to play this old but legendary game on new versions of Windows you may face some problems.

  1. The first problem is that on the start or during play, colors may get corrupted like on the picture above. But the solution is quite easy, just open the Screen Resolution dialog using context menu on Desktop and leave the dialog opened before you start the game 🙂
  2. IPX is not available since Windows Vista, so multiplayer on LAN does not work. But there is a IPXWrapper library which will wrap communication over UDP protocol. Just download it and copy all dll files from the package to the Diablo installation folder.
  3. Do not forget to use the latest patch available.
