    i already asked about the technical part in the help forum.
    But anyone know or experienced a good computer that lags a ton in diablo 2?
    My comp is a dell, maybe 2 years old with Windows XP and it runs fine in every other aspect, but when i play diablo 2 its like my comp just goes dumb on me, any suggestions?

    Thanks

    How slow does it go mate? Ive had a Dell for about a year and i get sorta the same thing, only a little laggy though, depending on the settings. I recently got a new graphics card, havent tried D2 with it yet though, hopefully it should run it smoother. Maybe if you turn the graphic settings down a little you may get better gameplay?

    Its because most Dell's have on board graphics. So its kind of slow, its graphics is around 64mb.

    Might wanna look into getting a graphics card because that will solve your problem.

    See ya.

    Also you might check the video settings in game. I had a problem with 3Dfx Glide and open GL, and when I tried to run 3DFX GLide, it ran really slow, so then I changed it to Open GL it ran alot better.....Diablo never ran very good on my machine, heh...even with a 1.3 Athalon, 512 DDR 2700, and a 128 meg Video Card.....campatibility issues I think can also Arise.

    Get yourself a video card with 128 meg ddr or more and disable your on board video in your bios.

    For Diablo 2?

    Thats just nuts.

    I would look into video driver updates, however.

    Are you sure it's not a problem on Blizzard's end? They have had a LOT of lag in the servers lately. How does the system run locally, fast or slow?

    Its not blizzard. My computer is messed up somehow. Even if a play single player and i enter a fight with a bunch of spell casting monsters it just lags up big time.

    But my friend has a crap gateway with windows 2000 and he can run it perfectly fine on high res.

    I dont know whats up.
