Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / April 2008D2 and VistaOS
The Vista OS apparently has some issues with the game. Does anyone have any advice about playing the game on a newer puter? TIA. > The Vista OS apparently has some issues with the game.

I have a "newer puter", a Core 2 Duo running at 3.3GHz on a P35/ICH9R chipset, and D2 plays just fine using XP. I wouldn't install Vista if you gave it to me free and offered me $100 to install it.

(And even then, only if I have a machine beefy enough to run both Vista and the game at good speeds.)

Does anyone have any >advice about playing the game on a newer puter? TIA. I installed D2 on a Vista machine, and except for Vista erroneously thinking D2 didn't install correctly, it works fine. What error / problem are you encountering? ... >The Vista OS apparently has some issues with the game. Does anyone have any >advice about playing the game on a newer puter? TIA. I am running D2/LOD on a Vista64 machine with no problems. You have to download and install the D2/LOD patch manually the first time to get it to run. Then it works perfectly. I installed D2/LOD on an attached USB hard drive so it does not take up space on my main system. I use Farstone VirtualDrive Pro to run D2/LOD without the CD. >The Vista OS apparently has some issues with the game. Does anyone have any >advice about playing the game on a newer puter? TIA. My HP laptop with a dual core processor, 2GB of RAM and an Nvidia 7160 graphics card runs Diablo II just fine. About the only advice that I could give is to rip your play disk to an image file and mount it with a disk utility like Daemon Tools in order to minimize any throughput problems you may be running into from a buggy driver. -- "Fate is like a caged gorilla.

After installation, right click the icon used to start the game and go toproperties, click the box for run as xp. save it. when run , do so as administrator and you'll have no problems at all. I use vista and my D2 runs perfectly fine. |
