Diablo II high refresh rate and fps

7/7/2025 EDIT
follow the guide for high refresh and fps using the new D2GL tool for the new ladder Guide - D2GL | EuropeBattleNet Community Forum

all written down is old before I get to know the improvement

OLD:
the new D2GL implementation will be amazing
the installation is pretty straight forward but you need to be sure that you did run the vidtest with compatibility windows xp sp 3 as well as selecting D2GL at the end of the test and than run the game Diablo II Launcher and select -ddraw from the launcher than open the menu while in game with CTRL + O and choose your preffered settings there
different upscale shader preset will result in different fps value (lower-higher)
turning on and off FXAA also results in different fps values
this is short gameplay with what you are about to expect at the ladder reset

looks awesome
and sadly my post for fps increase doesnt matter that much now because this implementation is like a true remaster of the original as diablo ressurected doesnt have custom, private servers
-----------------------------------------------
as mentioned before a year i guess there was ongoing fps patch for diablo 2 on europebattle
i found a workaround but its only useful in singleplayer because the engine itself works different way with 25 fps cap there
while on battlenet its much more for the mouse movement (the engine itself is capped at 25)
this video shows how much more smooth is the game on singleplayer using lossless scaling compared to battle net
first video that i showed was with wrong max frame latency 1 so i had to redo the video if it is too low it will cause mouse lag you need to use max frame latency 3 and i showed the settings in lossless scaling also


/fps in battle net



/fps in singleplayer



i saw in the post for the ladder reset that you were talking about d2gl implementation to the launcher
didnt knew for it earlier
this video shows the features it adds to the game


i think you wont need to enable motion prediction if you are going to use lossless scaling with d2gl and it will look miles ahead better
we will see later on because i cant test d2gl with the current version of d2 europebattle

 

The video posted on YouTube of D2 seems having something translated into Chinese. Any possible that translates items only to different language such as Chinese here?
Cheers
