This gives you the largest image, but the scaling will be a little soft, since it's not a perfect ratio of the original resolution. The first simply scales to fill the height of your screen.

You can scale the graphics to fill your screen in two ways, both maintaining the original aspect ratio. Thankfully, the GOG version of the game will scale up the graphics to fit on a larger modern monitor. Playing Original Diablo 1 on a 1920x1200 monitor While mostly annoyances, these issues are a detriment to fully enjoying the game. You can, of course, change the resolution of even a modern monitor to run at 640x480, but doing so resizes all your other windows, messes up your icon placement, and simply doesn't look very good. It was designed to run on a 640x480 monitor, which was standard when the game released, but is just a tiny portion of a modern, high-resolution screen. The main technical issue with playing Diablo is the game's resolution.

We will first look at how the GOG release works for Diablo and Hellfire, then we will get into many of the different mods available. While this version lets you play the original game and the Hellfire expansion easily on a modern system, there are plenty of unofficial mods that add many modern conveniences, restore unfinished content or add new content entirely, including an open-source version of the engine. Thankfully, these are easily rectified with the GOG re-release. As such, running it on modern computers presents a few difficulties. The original Diablo game was released all the way back in 1996. I mean, I didn't expect them to give us QoL changes like running in town or anything, but at least give us the goddamn Diablo: Hellfire expansion.Diablo + Hellfire Modding Guide Janu| Filed under: Gaming Just kidding, 4:3 limit is there, but they only provide a set of fixed resolutions like 1600x900, 1440x900, but there is no 1200x900 so the black space is there even in windowed mode. Then, I decided to give it a go windowed (I usually play stuff like that in 1600x900 windowed anyway). Well, my first thought after launching it full-screen was: 'they are preserving integrity, the game is gonna be the same as the original', even though the black fields on both sides feel really bad. Sure, belzebub modifies the gameplay elements too, but it does it in a remarkable way.īack to the topic: the resolution scaling is making the game look worse than the classic + they didn't even bother filling the screen by providing more vision on the sides for 16:9. In both cases mods seem to be MUCH smoother. Reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HD Steam edition. The gog version is pretty much a quick cash-grab.
