so this thread is a little old, lets see whos still watching.
I had diablo 1 running ok on my win 8.1 laptop. no directdraw wrapper, nothing. saw there was a fix for the game closing when you alt + tab out and instaled ddraw wrapper from strangebytes, but had the same issue as GL with it missing the directx file, used the posted directx updater thinggy, and now... every time i start diablo it crashes upon loading. every time(ive been trying for about an hour now, changing compatability settings, reinstalling the game and trying without any ddraw file, using a few ddraw files ive found laying aroung the interwebs, and nothing has worked. is there a way to remove those dirextx files?i had no problems running the game before i installed them
