Fletcher, though, wrote that you will be able to mod to an extent. The multiplayer option, which allowed for connection via LAN, won’t be in the game, which likely meant that mods were no longer possible. However, back in August it quietly removed the feature, sparking some controversy from fans. Blizzard, at one point, promised that the game would include TCP IP support, like the original version before it. Ultrawide monitors must be like cosmic space magic to them.īefore talking ultrawide, Fletcher also commented on the removal of TCP IP. These games were designed with those clunky 4:3 CRT monitors in mind. According to PCI’s resident cat, Tim McDonald, older games like Fallout 1 or 2 have broken when players try to stretch out the screen space farther than what it’s programming was ever meant to allow. PC games that are decades old tend to freak out a little when pushed beyond their screen space limit. That’s how I played the game when I did a revisit of it earlier in the year.ĭiablo II: Resurrected will support some modding The original Diablo II still runs at 800p with obnoxious black bars on either side. Although users with ultrawide monitors will have to settle with 19:9 in Diablo II: Resurrected, it’s far better than sticking to a smaller aspect ratio with black bars. To combat this, Blizzard will set ultrawide support up to 19:9 and use a vignette on both sides of the screen.įrankly, it’s not a bad compromise. According to Fletcher, those who ran an ultrawide during the Technical Alpha had AI that “failed to sense the player and trigger attacks.” Due to how much in-game distance the monitor could cover, “monitors were able to pull many more monsters into battle at a range limit beyond the original game’s intention.” Players with ultrawide monitors could also attack enemies beyond the regular screen space, and they would basically stand still and take it. The reason for the lack of 21:9 ultrawide? It will literally break the game. While, no, Blizzard still won’t have it in Diablo II: Resurrected, some modding “will still be possible.” Fletcher also addressed the recent issue with the loss of TCP IP. Those who own such wide boys will have options, but not completely at 21:9. Due to the fact that this is a remaster of a fairly old game, Diablo II: Resurrected won’t support full ultrawide monitors. At least, it created a stir for those who currently own an ultrawide monitor. Diablo‘s global community development lead, Adam Fletcher, dropped a rather lengthy note on the Blizzard forums, one that caused a bit of a stir. Recently, Blizzard published an update for Diablo II: Resurrected, addressing some concerns and offering more info on the game’s features.
