So i got a 24" monitor, and d2 window looks too small on it, i couldnt play easily.
I found this win 10 built in program , windows magnifier. At 150% , d2 window is pretty large on the screen, while textures arent fucked up so it doesnt hurt my eyes. So i was happy i found a solution
am i the only one using this, or there's some tool to play d2 on higher res than 600x800?

if you use glide you can set the window to be larger than 800*600

the thing about d2 window is that its visible size is dependent on monitor settings. i noticed this when i got an external monitor and different x*y settings made the window a different size. thats a decent solution there, thanks for sharing

Is glide allowed to be used if you're playing online?

You can use windowed borderless gaming to override the window size to anything you want. It doesn't even require an install. Haven't tested if it works with glide though.
