Use DevilutionX^{[citation needed]}

Periodic crashes

The game can crash periodically with modern Windows, especially due to modern GPU drivers.

Mods

Belzebub

An unofficial single-player mod with a host of features including increased resolution and updated compatibility with modern Windows. Copy the contents to the Diablo folder and open Belzebub.exe to play.

Allows running at up to 60 FPS, in windowed mode, in resolutions scaled up to 1024p and various non-scaled, fixes crashing and DirectDraw compatibility issues, multi-monitor compatibility, and continuous attacking with the left mouse button held down.

Can't play the vanilla game without the added content, multi-player isn't currently available, and the viewing area is simply increased; sprites remain small at higher resolutions.

The Hell 2

Total overhaul HD mod for Diablo, with numerous improvements to the game engine, balance and gameplay. It's optimized for modern hardware, widescreen resolutions, and higher framerates. Rich in new content, features and fixes, it introduces new game modes, a magnitude of convenient gameplay and cosmetic options, deep and multifarious character customization, multiplayer support, hundreds of new multi-level passive skills, an infinity of new items with various properties.

The Awakening
