  • do you need the expansion for the hi res to work?

  • how do i go back to 1.12a? I can only find 1.13 on the battle.net site!

  • genius 

  • why doesnt it work ?

  • @ShotgunZodiax There have only been like 5 people out of all of these replies that it hasn't worked for. I can't help you if you don't mention what it is that isn't working either. Common mistakes:

    1. You have D2 patched up to 1.13, reinstall and manually download and install 1.12 from blizzards site.

    2. You did not change the info in the plugy.ini file.

    3. It worked, you just haven't gone into options while IN GAME to change the resolution higher than 800x600 which the home screen of diablo is

  • @just2stoned its the second one i have 1.13 well thx for the info

  • Comment removed

  • Im getting external error # line 139 when im trying to get in with my character.Any solution?

  • @Metax87 I can't help you with those kind of errors as I am not a programmer nor did I create these programs, I just use them. I'm sorry but I've never had these errors. :(

  • @just2stoned

    I figured it out ... The reason of that error is the usage of Glide-wrapper.Simply open the "VideoTest" and make sure you make it to Direct3D or Ddraw2D . And it should be fine.Glide isnt compatible with Multires.

  • I dont get the Resolution list there but the game works.

  • @Regunayer hey man, after you extraced all the stuff, go to the diablo 2 folder, and click D2MultiResGame.exe, then game starts and you can choose up to 1920x1080, though the graphics was a fucking up a bit at highest, but when i lowered it, it was good.

  • @z3roo0 I did launched from D2MultiResGame.exe, I cant choose the resolution =(

  • @Regunayer sure that all files are in the diablo 2 folder when you run it?, has to be, works great for me

  • @Regunayer oh yeah, just to make sure, he mention it in the description here too, it needs to be patch 1.12, which means you gotta do a clean reinstall, then download 1.12 for LoD expansion.

  • @z3roo0 I have 1.12 but not LoD expansion.

  • @Regunayer there you have it, need it

  • @z3roo0 Ok thank you

  • Fucking awesome; this shit actually WORKS; you're a genius for editing that PlugY.ini so now the D2MultiRes works in combination with PlugY.

    THANK YOU!

  • its sad we've waited so long for diablo 3....i had to check the date on this when i saw your background...it just reminded me.

  • library memory check failed.

  • this has been very helpful to me. Just a suggestion, mind creating a webpage? Those guiding words should be immortalized in words :) thx again

  • do I need that plugy for it to work? cause the high res doesnt work for me, and I got the 1.12 patch

  • @baconfromhell666 No you don't. You can use any of these individually or paired however you like.

  • @just2stoned well then it doesnt work. neither high res or plugy. I could get median xl to work, but I didnt like that very much, so uninstalled the game and installed it again, but those two doesnt seem to work for me

  • can you play online if you have 1.13

  • @blackwlf761 Can't use these with 1.13 period. 

  • Thanks buddy works perfect!

  • how can i get version 1.12 if i have 1.13?

  • @floatingpenguin2 reinstall the game, download the stand alone 1.12 patch from blizzard.

  • @just2stoned can you play online if you have 1.12 and use mod plugy or do you get banned from bnet

  • @blackwlf761 DO NOT TRY TO USE ONLINE!

  • @floatingpenguin2 Reinstall, manually download 1.12 patch from blizzard.

  • @just2stoned

    If I do that I will lose all my progress in the game?

    i have 1.13, and I need to get 1.12 version

  • Take the dick out of your mouth.

  • @CuboidCake Coming from someone who thinks minecraft is cool. Sorry, can't take you seriously after seeing what you contributed to youtube. Nice try on the trolling though. Keep up the good work.

  • @just2stoned "Take the dick out of your mouth"

    This means speak louder. You don't have to go on a rage and flame on all of my vids like an immature kid. Nice try though. You almost offended me.

  • @CuboidCake That's one hell of a way of saying speak up. I think everyone would agree that was an offensive way of saying that. I'll delete my remarks on your vids if you agree that your statement was equally as offensive as my remarks on your vids. I'll even apologize too if you can do the same.

  • @just2stoned My comment was nowhere near as offensive as yours. You post "Gay" on all of my videos and I just post "Take the dick out of your mouth." (Speak louder) on one of yours?

    Nope.avi

  • @CuboidCake

    Maybe the reason you can't hear

    Is that you got a dick in each ear?

    lolz

  • @keereekee Maybe the reason you are quite sad -

    Is that you responded to a month old comment, you're a bit bad.

  • @CuboidCake

    I responded to a month old post and you got a dick in each ear...err...I think you're sad.

    lolz

  • @keereekee Nope. You're the one replying to old comments.

  • @CuboidCake

    yeah and you're replying to my comments?

    Also, looks like there's at least 8 people that agree with just2stoned views - douche bag

  • @keereekee Yes, I am replying to your shitty comments. But you were replying to my old comments. Old comments. Old. O. L. D.

  • @CuboidCake

    yeah, OK fella - now my comment that pissed you off enough to reply is 1 month old. ONE month old. Guess how old your comment was that you thought was too old?

    yeah - ONE month old. LOLZ ...fucking hypocrite.

    You are a moron if you think a month is too long, anyway.

  • @keereekee Are you really still arguing with me? I don't give a fuck about diablo 2 anymore.

  • @CuboidCake

    It was never about D2 - it was about you trolling the post.

    You have kept this thread live as much as anyone.

    I'm out though :P

  • @keereekee This isn't a thread. This is youtube. Way to make yourself look like an idiot though, goodbye anyway!

  • @CuboidCake

    HAHA! This isn't a thread?? You can literally use the "sort by thread feature" on YT to group comments by THREAD -Duh. You are a complete Noob! pwned

  • @keereekee It isn't a thread. It's a comment section. Noob hasn't got a capital n by the way. And didn't you say you were out? I took it you came back to troll more.

  • @CuboidCake

    There IS a function on YT to "sort by thread" - pull your head out of your ass. And noob does have a capital when applied to you. If anyone is a troll you are.

  • @keereekee If anyone is a troll I am? I'm just showing you how to properly structure your sentences. You're just telling me to take my head out of my ass. If my head was in my ass, well, I wouldn't be typing the last few messages to you. Anyway, I don't know why I'm wasting my time with you. Besides I'm going out with my friends to town this evening, so I best get myself ready.

  • etentions lads this only works at version 1.12 only dosent work on 1.13 only singel player

  • etentions lads this only works at version 1.12 only dosent work on 1.13

  • who would want to play on this resolution where you cant even see your char? way to go.

  • @MapleConquer Yah why would anyone want to play in a higher resolution. HD sucks, I'd rather have 240p...

    This video doesn't do the end result justice. Believe me when i say that any resolution greater than 800x600 IS BETTER. PERIOD.

  • @just2stoned unable to load d2multires.dll....

  • The only thing im interested in is the resolution mod for single player and would love to play this game again. I extracted the files into the directory and loaded the MultiResGame application and every time i go to video options "resoltion" isn't there and the only difference is that the lighting quality option doesn't show whether its on "high" "medium" or "low" anymore. OS is Windows 7. Anyone know why maybe? I've only patched up to 1.12

  • @XBLAQPHYREX As you can see in the video, you have to be in the game to change the resolution. Any resolution your monitor is capable of will be listed. Caution is needed for some odd resolutions as they may not work right. Use your own discretion to choose which works best.

  • @just2stoned Ah, I figured out the problem. You need LOD expansion to have the "Resolution" option even available to modify. Doh. Thanks though.

  • 1. D2MultiRes is build for 1.12 version of D2 LoD, not 1.13! (so if you want all of this working, use 1.12 patch (median is compatible with 1.10 - 1.13 and plugY supports more versions aswell)

    2. for windowed mode, create a shortcut for PlugY.exe and run it with param -w

  • THERE IS PLUGY v10 WHICH IS 1.13 COMPATIBLE!

  • Does it works with the Diablo 2 LOD?

  • @leoleo1035 Nvm it works :S didnt saw lol.

  • Median is for d1cks

  • what is PLUGY?

  • @SiMPLeDotA shared stash, pages upon pages of shared stash and personal stash. I think it can do other things but that's all I use it for.

  • @just2stoned okay ty : )

  • @just2stoned how do you get only plugy to work and ran it and nothing is different?

  • @just2stoned i did everything you did for plugy, please help

  • @blackwlf761 You probably left out something. It's pretty straight forward what to do. You can try clicking on some of the related vids to the right if my video didn't explain it enough. Sorry.

  • i don't have lod and it made my game broke...... how do i do this stuff without lod and how do i get lod......

  • @Predator000099 unfortunetly, you don't do any of this without LOD. Sorry.

  • @just2stoned i have a cd key for lod but not the disk.... any help you can do for me to download?

  • @Predator000099 hey, just go to battlenet create and account , then you can enable your game somewhere with the CD key and then download the game from there :))

  • @Predator000099

    Enter your cd key at battle.net net and download it from there.

  • @Predator000099 Torrent a copy of the game disk. It's not very big if I remember, maybe 3-400mb. Install it via an image and use your key, should work just fine. I don't have high speed internet like that or I'd upload an image.

  • @just2stoned do you not have DSL at all? are you playing COD4 on dial up!?

  • @demonwolfdawg DSL, Cable, Fiber and all the good ISP's are not available where I live. Verizon 3G has a tower 5 miles away that I use. Basically, a 1mb line for $60/month. Can play MMO's and a few racing games, but that's it with an average 150ms latency. So, to answer your question, no, I don't play CoD or any FPS games on dial-up, but close to it.

  • @just2stoned verizon is processing the order for 4g (shit I better get it....)

    I can get DSL, but the lines are full D:

    also, I can't change to Directdraw in Diablo, it just switches back to 3d....

    also I get a cant find .DLL error when starting the highres .exe

  • @demonwolfdawg Have you added the lines to the plugy.ini file for the .dlls you need?

  • @just2stoned do I have to install?

    what is the directory that I need, it cant find the game

  • @just2stoned my directory should be correct...

  • @just2stoned it's explained in the video everything you need to get it to work. I have not excluded anything. honestly I don't really even know what you are talking about now.. rephrase it please.

  • Thanks for the video. Hi res work for me. Only with version 1.12 (and probably bellow) . But in version 1.13 didn't run. I wonder if the make a fix for v.1.13. Because many people are with this version. I want to play local net game with hamachi, I know that I'll be banned if use this with battle net. If someone know hi res patch v 1.13. Let's just post it here. Thanks.

  • how to respec skills with 1.12a patch?

  • @MataNoobTW google for MXL Respec tool. I have it, it works.

  • How can i make 2dmultires work with patch 1.13 ? someone ???????????????

  • @NYtzaa you can't as far as I know. Multires only works for 1.12 and below. I may be wrong though.

    Solution: Reinstall D2, go to Blizzard website and download 1.12 patch manually, install multires (and others if desired), enjoy game. That's the only way you will be able to use it unless they have multires for 1.13.

  • @just2stoned

    When i run the PlugY installation an error appears "Could not find Diablo II installation folder" Any help ??

  • @toforto3 You either need to point installation to where you installed it, or you did not install it. Also, this requires Diablo 2 AND the expansion (Lord of Destruction). If you didn't install the xpack than it might say that. Those are the only things I can think of. Read the plugy instructions again. My install path is always C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II (x86 is 64bit operating system. If you have normal 32bit, it'll be just \Program Files)

  • VERY important question here!!! I already got all that stuff and it works very smooth BUT i want to make and post the movie but I cant find any way to record d2 window :/ how did you do it since fraps can record only fullscreen d2 and multires cent work in fullscreen... ;(? Note that Im using 1440:900 res which sadly is panoramic screen.

  • @Ye7i I honestly can't remember which program I used to make this, it was either GameCam or fraps. I just tried my Gamecam and it did not work at all. There aren't many programs that record in game video so it has to be fraps. (I used a cracked copy of it to get rid of the silly 30sec of recording bullshit)

  • @just2stoned I tried cracked fraps but it cant recognize d2 mutlires window as an actual game so it wont work :/

  • Great Video THANKS (o:

  • is there a way i can rollback patch 1.13 to 1.12a so i can use this?

  • @Omerack yes, just visit blizzard's site and they have previous versions for download.

  • @just2stoned also will this work on the singleplayer only install? i dont want to install the multiplayer part if i dont have to.

  • @just2stoned

    When i run respec tool and go to my diablo 2 folder to load a character it shows nothing in the folder ??? And i have a ladder character lvl38.Is it because its a ladder character ? Does the tool work for ladder characters or is it because im MedianXL Omega 1.13 ? Please help.

  • I can't get it to work! I followed the instructions step by step exactly as how it was explained and still couldn't get it to work. I got it to run but there is no "resolution" option in the video option. I will keep on trying until I get it to work. If I somehow manage to get it to work, I will post back here how I manage, otherwise I gave up. I patch it with 1.12a and did the steps but nothing. I will keep trying...

  • [Part 1]

    Apparently no one ever mentioned this would only work for LOD but if you're trying to get this to work on the regular D2 it won't work. The next best thing to get it to work for D2 is to change one simple registry and it will work. Keep everything that you've done so far up until this point. Follow the steps precisely as follows:

    (1) Run the D2MultiResGame exe that comes with the patch.

    (2) It should start the game and generate a log file.

  • (3) You can't change the res in-game in a non-LoD Diablo II because there is no resolution button, so exit the game.

    (4) Look in the D2MultiResLog.txt log file (in your Diablo II folder). It should have a bunch of resolutions it found. Something like this:

    Added Display Mode: 10: 640 x 480

    Added Display Mode: 11: 1280 x 800

    Added Display Mode: 12: 1280 x 960

    Added Display Mode: 13: 1280 x 1024

    Added Display Mode: 14: 1680 x 1050

    Added Display Mode: 15: 1920 x 1080

  • (5) See the number after "Mode:". Remember the number for the resolution you want to run it in. Example, if I wanted to run it in 1920x1080, so 15 was my number.

    (6) Run regedit, search for "D2RMRes". (Start->click on search->type in "regedit")

    (7) In the Register Editor click on Edit->Find type in D2RMRes.

    (8) Double click on D2RMRes to change its value to that number you remembered. The number is a decimal number.

    (9) Close regedit, and rerun the D2MultiResGame exe.

  • (10) Once you get into the game itself, you should have your nice new resolution. Note: game should take 3 to 4 minutes to load. While waiting you can look at the upper left hand corner of your screen to see some hexadecimal numbers flickering. It should start from all upper case alphabets to lower case alphabets with some other strange notations in between.

    *Graphics Modification*

    (11) Rerun D2VidTst and select Direct3D.

  • (12) Once in game, click on Options->Video Options->Perspective Off to get rid of any glitches.

    And there you have it. The game will now look exactly like how it should be, with higher quality resolution.

    Note that before you actually begin playing the game, while at the game menu screen it will still look like it was before you did anything. Not to worry, this is how it should look. Once you load your game the screen resolution will change depending on what decimal number you gave it. GL HF.

  • @VersionBest Thanks for figuring this one out. Like I've replied before, I am not the author of any of these programs and did not run into hardly any trouble getting it all working. If I haven't experienced it and fixed it I can't help others. Many people found my steps to be spot on and had little issue with it while others didn't. Anyway, thanks for your comments!

  • hey man, im runnin windows 7, before i did the mod.. the game was laggy. idk why. my comp isnt slow. but very laggy in game. after resmod, i got the res i wanted 1400x900. loooks soo amazing! thnx. but. its still super laggy! any help? and advice?

  • @warzonegamer Game just wasn't designed for all the kick ass hardware most of us have. I do 1600x1200 max even though I can run crysis at damn near full graphics (30+fps= normal) at 30ish fps. Our cards more than likely do not support the graphics type this game was designed for. It always works in 2D at least.

  • @warzonegamer try different graphic mod -d3d -glide or directdraw

  • Can you use PlugY while playing a LAN / TCP/IP game?

  • @TheBrendanMcCoy I think so but both of you have to have the same stuff installed.

  • @just2stoned

    question for you stoned, i bought the digital dwnload, i don't have the disk's, but i have D2 and LoD expansion, can i still do this?

  • @warzonegamer I believe you can, just hope you have your install file(s) copied for reinstall, cause that may and probably will happen at some point, need a reinstall that is.

  • There are many folks who can't get any of these to work, to them I apologize. However, I did not create these programs, I only use them. I did not run into many of these issues when I did it so I really couldn't say why you can't get it to work.

    There was a lot of trial and error on my part to get them to cooperate with each other. Best advice I can tell you is to try 1 program at a time. Get 1 to work before adding the other. Many ppls mistakes are from not having the right versions though.

  • Please m8 i need help i did all you said and when i choose a character and start i get error it says: UNHANDLED EXCEPTION ACCESS_VIOLATION (c0000005)

    Please help me fast

  • @200sa150 sorry I'm late in a reply, but I did not make these programs, I only used them. I don't know what every error is or how to fix them. I've tried helping some others with their issues, some I helped, some I didn't. I'm afraid I don't know this one.

    All I can tell ya is that I had to delete and redo everything a few times before I got it right, which is what led me to making this clip. The only time I got unhandled exceptions was after install and playing for a bit.

  • Does PlugY and the MultiRes only work for Median? Because i dont want to have a whole new game just these two mods

  • @vVvEchovVv You do not need Median mod no. You can use any of these in any order you want.

  • Respond to this video...

  • i did everything right and it doesnt even start. im very good with these things and very good at following directions.

  • @Celtalian That doesn't really tell me anything. Can you elaborate?

  • @Celtalian

    With Pluggy 10, don't change Library. Instead put DllToLoad=D2MultiRes.dll in GENERAL section as well as ActivePlugin=2. Did it for me.

  • Hey i get this error when i run plugY that says "Wrong version of the library d2gfx.dll" Help?

  • @weirdmage When you install PlugY 9.0, you are prompted with a 'Choose Components" list of checkboxes. At the bottom of this list is a check box for "D2gfx.dll Patcher (advanced users only). You should put a check in it and install it.

    I haven't run into this problem before but to my understanding this should fix your D2gfx.dll issue, that's why it's there. Give that a shot.

  • TO EVERYONE: Use Official Patch v1.12. Use PlugY 9.0, you CAN use the latest Median XL patch. also the Latest D2MultiRes patch.

    this is the way i got it to work.

    WARING: 1366x768 resolution doesn't seem to work. Maybe i have to change some setting, but i dont know what yet

  • Do I need D2:LoD to make the multi res work.?? im using just D2 1.12aversion.. and the multi res dont work..

  • @blinkSilenc3 I think you do. I think i remember something about them introducing 800x600 resolution with the expansion, and some other things of course. Try to google it though, I can't say 100% yes or no.

  • I have Windows 7 how do you get the Multirez to work cause everytime i start it it shows the wierd graphical crap!

  • @PromiserOfDeath Turn off the field of view option if running 3D mode.

  • @just2stoned How do i turn it off?

  • @PromiserOfDeath in video options.

  • Comment removed

  • the only way i can get this to work is i have to double click D2MultiResGame.Exe then open the game normal and a thing pops up saying i cant run d2 twice but the one that IS open MultiRes works and most of the time the color is fucked up and i can get the color to work by opening screen resolution on desktop but most of the time it takes like 4 trys opening that window

    there a way to fix this?

  • @PoisonMako haven't heard that one yet. I really didn't have that much trouble getting all of these to cooperate when I first tried them. The only thing that I had trouble with, which I mention in the vid, Is the plugy.ini file. If I screwed up something too bad I just uninstalled D2 including wiping the registry, and then using a fresh install. This was all back in 1.12 patch which I still use as there is no reason to jump to 1.13. The links should still work for the files I use.

  • I do everything like you said but it isn't working. I started PlugY but nothing happen and when I look at log file. It said "Failed to load library : D2MultiRes.dll". I'm using PlugY 10 for 1.13.

  • @chienthan189 but are you using a 1.13 version of MultiRes or has that been updated to 1.13. There is absolutely no advantage to go from 1.12 to 1.13 unless you are playing vanilla D2 on B.Net. If you are trying to use these on B.Net than I'm glad it doesn't work, that's cheating.

    Simple answer, Reinstall, manually patch it to 1.12, follow the guide, It will work.

  • If you cannot get this to work:

    1. The high resolution mod will only show itself if you enter a game. The main menu will not be in high res, only in game. Also, there was a new patch from Blizzard, may want to google for a 1.13 version of HighResMod.

    2. PlugY doesn't work. Probably due to the recent patch from Blizzard. Google for a 1.13 PlugY version and simply use it in place of 1.12 like in this video.

    3. If using MedianXL with these, you WILL lose your original characters!

  • High res dosen't work:(

  • @Kuczerski MultiRes will NOT work for 1.13 patch unless it has been updated. PlugY and and Median XL are updated for 1.13 but if your MultiRes isn't than it will not work. I start my diablo game with the PlugY executable btw. Not really sure how I else I could help as it's all in the video... There are other guides I think on youtube If mine just won't work for anyone.

  • PlugY got patched for 1.13c a few days ago chaps, have a look at phrozenkeep

  • Where the fuck do i te pacth to run multi re thats all i want

  • so many  icons...

  • Never thot i would get it to work, google is so misleading but thx for tutorial now i can enjoy D2 again on my laptop

  • Does the multires mod work with median 2008 also?

  • @Mig440 this is really really late response, sorry I'm lazy, but yes it works with damn near all versions of D2 up to the recent 1.13.

  • Works like a charm - even with the LOD expansion thanks. Or you running in direct 2ddraw or 3d - and is it possible to use glide?

  • @StreetStar5 I haven't had any luck with it, but I'm sure it's doable.

  • @StreetStar5 also a very late reply, but for the benefits of others:

    I use 3D mode with the perspective option off. I believe it's just the old nature of the game to not truely work like it should on windows 7 64 bit. I tried using various 3DFX GLide wrappers with no visible improvements at all. Most of the time the game wouldn't even launch. I went back to good old 3D. My rig is so overpowered to run this yet it doesn't really run all that smoothly past 1600x1200 resolution.

  • Such a beautiful voice. Thumbs up just for that. Does this one work on Battle.Net closed? Or do I have to play open realm?

  • @4sostrander multiplayer in any form I don't believe will work if using multires or medianXL. None of these however are allowed on closed B.Net. I think it's possible for LAN play however using MedianXL, but don't quote me on that.

  • IS THERE PLUGY FOR THE 1.13 VERSION?!?!

  • @OletramX Yes.

  • @OletramX yes

  • @mcmarek112 there is now plugy for 1.13, but highres-mod only works for 1.12a

    btw thanks for this nice guide, works perfect

  • @OletramX YES THERE IS

  • Maybe Blizzard will release at least a 1024x768 patch for D2LoD when SC2 is released and long before D3 is released.

  • @Hyper1ink they had a very long time to do that already don't you think? The 1.13 patch will likely be the last patch and/or update Diablo 2: LoD will ever recieve. Sure we don't have a release date for 3 yet, but I don't see anything else coming for the game.

  • @just2stoned They had a very long time to implement respecialization ... and they did. It would be no big deal for Blizzard to add at least one higher resolution officially.

  • does the high resolution mod work for LoD as well?

  • @crazedimp321 absolutely!

  • What are the High Res mod used for?

  • @Yonabrother Nowadays, people have monitors capable of high resolutions. Diablo 2 had a MAX resolution of 800x600. If you were to try and play the game on say my monitor (24" HDTV) the game will look really bad and old. The mod makes it so it fits many of today's monitors can run the game at a higher resolution, thus making it look like it did way back when, just on a larger scale.

  • @just2stoned aahh, I see.. thanks for reply :)

  • Does PlugY and High Res Work On 1.13 Which is the latest Diablo 2 patch ?

  • @lordmason1 The links I provided are to the 1.12a version of diablo. I am not aware of any updates for 1.13 version. There really isn't anything worth updating to 1.13 for anyway if you are playing single player (which you should be as these mods shouldn't be used on b.net).
