I'm an Idiot Gaming Moments

So I've played Diablo 2 serveral times through over the years and I've always just accepted two things: 1. it's fixed in 800X600 resolution that leaves the annoying black bars on the side of the screen and 2. patch 1.2 was the final patch.

I just learned that both those things are wrong and have been so for over 2 years at least. Latest patch 1.3 lets me play the game with awesome full screen coverage!

YES!

I feel like a rube...

Meh.

We all do dumb stuff sometimes.

LOL, I had no idea........ Off to go find that 1.3 patch!

It makes the game 100X better, if that is possible.

HUH?!

You mean there was an update that supports higher screen resolutions?!!

I know that the expansion allowed it to go all the way up to an amazing 1024x768 way back when. :P

There is a hi-res mod out there, but this just takes the awesome 800X600 and makes it fit your screen. Which surprisingly isn't horrible to look at imo.

Meh.. Your monitor & vid card should be able to stretch it to fit all by itself. You don't need a patch to do that.

The patch actually adds in a bunch of fixes so it's all good. And it doesn't stretch the damn thing on it's own but makes it look ok for when you go into your GPU settings and stretch it.
