![]() This is where the story of Diablo II begins. ![]() From this moment, the fallen hero will be known as the Dark Wanderer. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a terrible idea, as Diablo's soul rapidly corrupted the hero. Fortunately, you can always play it on a console instead.At the end of the story of Diablo I, Diablo is defeated by a hero who decides to drive Diablo's soulstone into his own head in an attempt to contain the feared devil in his own body. That means that even if you're an old-school Diablo II fan, one who's been waiting years to get back into the fight, Diablo II: Resurrected probably isn't going to run on your work-from-home laptop. Most laptops, even high-end ones, don't include dedicated Nvidia or AMD graphics hardware, unless they're intended for gaming or creative work. The lowest-end compatible Nvidia GeForce 660 GPU is about 10 years old at this point, and technically it's still faster than the best integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, although only by a little. On the same Dell, I was able to download and play Diablo 3 on it perfectly fine. The game would simply pop up an error message when I tried to launch it. ![]() ![]() But a Dell XPS 13 with an Intel Core i7-1065G7 and Intel integrated Iris Plus graphics was a no-go. Also great was a gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7-8750 and a Nvidia 2080 Max-Q GPU. On a desktop with an Intel Core i7-6700 and a single Nvidia 1080 GPU, it ran great, even at 4K resolution (yes, it was hooked up to my TV). In most cases, it'll simply refuse to launch, as noted by many beta testers in the game's beta forums. The game does not support even Intel's better Iris GPUs. You're also out of luck if you're trying to play on a laptop without a dedicated Nvidia or AMD graphics card. ![]() That's too bad, because I think this game would have been perfect for a 24-inch iMac, and I've been able to play games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Hades perfectly fine on an M1 MacBook Air. ![]()
