Hey all!
I've been going crazy trying to set up Diablo 1 on my Windows 8.1 (x64) PC. I tried all compatibility settings, the explorer.exe-killing batch file, various directdraw patches, updating, and everything under the sun, but it still crashes right after I run diablo.exe. (and yes, the CD is in)
BUT, for whatever reason, if I run the 1.09 patch, it installs, and then at the end automatically boots Diablo 1 and it works completely fine! This is the strangest thing I've seen in a while, any ideas? I followed everything under the compatibility sticky on this forum (which was very helpful, thank you OP!)
Help!
