Hi, I tired rumbling through the forum and couldnt find an answer, but if there is one, please just direct me! Diablo and Windows 10, cant get it to play. PC is practically new so no issue there. Has to Windows 10. I have changed the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2 and then SP3 but I can only get as far as choosing a character and then giving it a name and then it crashes. Any ideas for me? Its for my Dad, he loves this game and wont move on to the later versions so I just wanna find a solution here please.
Fix some bad code regarding zeros and negative values. Download my modified DDwrapper file here. Installed Diablo and Hellfire. Got the V1.00-1.02 mod, the A2 and the A3. It's still the farmer showing. Even tried adding the command.txt, even if it's stated that it's not needed. Running Win 7 64bit. Fix for Windows 10 crashes (self.Diablo1) submitted 3 years ago by dukdukgoos. I spent yesterday trying to get Diablo working on Windows 10. It would always crash right after the intro cutscenes. Here's the secret: you need to go the Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off, Legacy Features, and check DirectPlay.
Many Thanks D. 06:30 PMPosted by To get Diablo to run on windows 8, simply install Diablo normally, into a non protected directory(like C:Diablo) but do not run. Next, navigate to your diablo directory, right click 'Diablo.exe' and go do the compatibility tab. Mark the box 'Reduced color mode' and set the drop down menu to either 8bit(256 colors) or 16bit(65536 colors) color(either will work). Next mark the box 'Run as Administrator'. Diablo should now run like a dream(albiet with minor graphical issues in multiplayer menus). Diablo should now be successfully running on your Windows 8 computer.
However when you alt+tab, the game may crash. This will not happen on all windows 8 computers, and is related to graphics driver issues. If you have this issue, there is a solution. Download my modified DirectDrawWrapper for windows 8 here, extract it and put it into your Diablo folder. Next Right click 'Diablo.exe', go to properties, and go to compatibility. Make sure 'Run as Administrator' is checked, but make sure nothing else is checked(if colors are checked, uncheck them).
The graphics in the menu may be all screwed up, but Diablo itself will run perfectly and with proper colors. Alt+Tab will also no longer crash the game. However you may notice flickering from time to time if you have animated icons in your taskbar(recieving a message on skype, or the flickering of a touchpad program in the taskbar) to prevent this, simply hide the taskbar until you are done playing. Also note that if you have windows filling the screen when Diablo starts up, it may cause flickering.
To solve this, simply minimize all windows before Diablo starts, or Alt+Tab out of the game once it has started, and minimize the windows that way. You may access any other program while playing diablo using Alt+Tab, just ensure that you minimize it before re-entering Diablo to prevent possible flickering. If this is too much effort for you, you can simply forcefully stop the flickering by killing explorer, via placing the following code in a batch file in your diablo directory and running it: Blizzard may update classic games so as to play on newer computers / newer windows.

I got Diablo 1 to work in Windows 10 64-bit.
It works about 95% of the time and does so flawlessly without having to muck about with explorer.exe or anything like that. I parsed how to get it to work from various forums, so bear with me.

Install to a non-protected folder as mentioned above. I installed to C:Diablo. Patch to latest version. (Note: I have not installed the expansion). Apply ddwrapper fix.
I did NOT modify it in any way; all my settings in aqrit.cfg are set to '0'. Right-click Diablo.exe and choose Properties. Run in Windows XP SP2 Compat. Mode.
Check 'Reduced Color Mode' and set it to 16-bit. Check 'Run as Administrator'. Enjoy.I don't post on these forums at all, but I ran into this thread while trying to get it to work and thought I'd check in in case anyone is still stuck. This is what worked for me and hopefully your mileage does not vary.
