Yet it does, for some people.įor others, go into the shortcut and set to XP service pack 3 compatibility.Īnd if you're really unlucky, you may have to install or virtualize a 32-bit WinBlows OS environment. No, it makes no sense that this would fix the CD-ROM warning. Probably should close it before you change it too.

Obviously you need to relaunch the game after that. Head to your NVIDIA control panel and go to 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings and set the default Graphics Processor for Diablo 2 to Integrated Graphics.

It's D2, even a hamster on a wheel could power Diablo II, so don't worry about your integrated graphics not handling the insane, Far Cry-esque tax-your-entire-system-till-it-blows-up-cause-the-graphics-are-so-fucking-beautiful-ness of D2. To put it another way, are you experiencing the issue on a laptop with an 'external' (derp, I know it's inside the laptop) GPU card, aka you have integrated Intel HD 4000 on the motherboard, and a Geforce 640M that is much better?)įorce D2 to use integrated graphics. Using Laptop with Optimus card, by chance? TL DR: Diablo II works fine with Patch 1.14b on Windows 10 but gives me a CD-Drive error after patching to 1.14d although there was no CD but the downloaded Installer used. I tried googling since yesterday and also opened a ticket with the blizzard support but nothing I tried (compatibility mode Win XP SP2/3 and Win 7, run as Admin, add -w to shortcut, installing to a different directory) helped, that's why I'm counting on you guys. Next, I tried to install via the official Blizzard download and here things get really strange because I keep on getting the error that the cd is missing but this shouldn't really be a problem when using the installer.Īlso it's worth mentioning that I can start the game with patch 1.14b (installer) but get the error with 1.14d (manually patched and via B.net). Still, the same error although the disc was still in the cd-drive. I thought that maybe something went wrong after the upgrade so I just reinstalled the game via disc. After the upgrade to Win 10 D2 won't run anymore because I get a CD-Drive error telling me I need to insert the disc. I had D2 installed on Win 7 and everything was fine.
