The game's 5 acts feature a variety of locations and settings to explore and battle in, as well as an increased cast of characters to play as and interact with.īuilding on the success of its predecessor, Diablo (1997), and improving the gameplay, both in terms of updated character progression and a better developed story Diablo II was one of the most popular games of 2000 and has been cited as one of the greatest games of all time. Set shortly after the events of Diablo, the player controls a new hero, attempting to stop the destruction unleashed by Diablo's return. The game was developed over a 3-year period, with a crunch time of 1.5 years long. The producers were Matthew Householder and Bill Roper. The game, with its dark fantasy and horror themes, was conceptualized and designed by David Brevik and Erich Schaefer, who, with Max Schaefer, acted as project leads on the game. Then computer goes really slow, and the game never launches.Diablo II is an action role-playing hack-and-slash computer video game developed by Blizzard North and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 2000 for Microsoft Windows, Classic Mac OS, and macOS. nothing! It just shows the little hour glass mouse icon for a split sec, like its trying to load the game. Anyway, have any of you heard of this kinda problem? I can't get into the game at all, it will not launch, there is no error message, no pop up thats something is wrong, no black screen.

My operating system is windows xp, and my video card is Nvidia (not sure which nvidia, not really a computer knowledgable guy). I end up having to restart my computer to rid it of the "slowness" created by trying to launch D2. My computer then begins to go extremely slow as if it was trying to launch a game, but regardless of how long you wait, nothing happens. The little hour glass pops up for a split sec, and then nada. I put the cd in, the game pops up (or I use the game icon) to try and launch the game, and it does nothing. Like I said, I haven't tryed the standard diablo 2, but I am fairly sure it will just give me the same problem.Īnyway, here is the problem. I own 2 cds of LOD, and neither work, so I highly doubt its the cd (plus it let me install the game without a problem).

I installed both diablo 2, and LOD without a problem, I haven't tryed the standard diablo 2, but I've been trying to start LOD, and its not working. I had a similiar problem with starcraft, but I set my resolution really low, and it fixed the problem, tryed that with d2.and no fix. Anyway I used to be able to play this game back in the day, but now it seems it won't work.

I read the common technical difficulties thread, and either I've arleady done what they said, or they don't apply to me. I came to this forum in hopes that maybe you guys could help me out in getting this game working again.
