Diablo: Quick Note Essay, Research Paper
First of all, thank you very much for buying Diablo. We have
worked hard to create a game that you will want to spend many,
many hours playing. To further that end, we have added some
features in Diablo that may not be apparent at first glance.
Diablo is a VERY different play experience depending on which
character class you choose. The tactics and strategies employed
by the Warrior, for instance, would be sheer folly for a
Sorcerer to attempt. Many high level items and spells will only
be useable by certain classes. After you defeat Diablo, try
another game with a different character class.
Diablo also randomly generates every level of the labyrinth,
including the rooms, hallways, lights, shrines, fountains,
cauldrons, pools, special themed areas, treasures and monsters.
The list just goes on, but what it boils down to is each time you
enter a new level within the labyrinth, you will have new things
Finally, Diablo takes on an entirely different feel when you are in
a multiplayer game. The interaction that occurs, the new
strategies and the difference in how you have to think all make for
a very exciting and very new experience.
Again, thank you for grabbing that Diablo box off of the shelf.
Always remember: If you think you’ve found everything — you’re

USING ARCHITECTURE AS A TACTICAL POSITION
There are many place in the labyrinth that the character can
use to his advantage when in combat. Two basic examples of
Barrels not only are sources of hidden treasures, but they
also provide excellent blocking terrain for ranged attacks.
Since barrels can be have spells or arrows fired over them,
a sorcerer or rogue properly positioned behind a cluster of
barrels can fight back a large group of oncoming creatures.
Doorways can also be used very effectively for singling out
monsters when encountered in large groups. If you are swarmed
by a large group of creatures in the labyrinth, an excellent
tactic is to position your character just on the other side
of a doorway and take them on one at a time as they enter
There are numerous other areas within the labyrinth that can
be used as strong tactical positions by players who are
looking for them. Keep your eyes open and your weapons ready!
Certain monsters in the labyrinth are resistant or even immune
to different types of magic. After killing several monsters of
the same type, your character will learn the resistances and
immunities that these creatures have. Unique creatures (those
whose names are displayed in gold text) may also have
resistances or immunities. While your character does not know
the immunities or resistances of a unique monster, he will
know if some type of immunity or resistance exists.
Should you have difficulty killing a unique monster with an
attack such as firebolt, the creature may have a resistance
or immunity to fire based attacks. Try using an electrical
(lightning) or magical (stone curse) attack instead.
I LOVE THIS GAME, BUT IT’S A LITTLE TOO TOUGH…
Depending on the items you find, spells you learn and
creatures you encounter, each game will play very
differently – even with characters of the same class.
Because of the randomness of Diablo, some labyrinths will be
more challenging than others. Until you are an expert
spelunker, you may find a dungeon too difficult. If this is
the case, you can use the ‘New Game’ option to take your
character (complete with stats, experience, and inventory)
into a new labyrinth where you can fortify him with additional
gold, items, spells, and experience from earlier levels.

2. Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 & Microsoft DirectX
Diablo is a Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 game that utilizes
Microsoft DirectX. DirectX is included on the Diablo CD and
can be installed from the Diablo setup program.
Windows NT 4.0 does not require that you install Microsoft
DirectX as it is already part of the operating system.
For users who are running both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
on their systems, please note that multiplayer characters
created within one will not be available while playing
under the other OS (i.e., characters created while playing
under Windows 95 are not available while you are playing
If you have difficulty running Windows 95 after these new
Microsoft DirectX drivers have been installed, please contact
International telephone: 001-206-882-8080

S3 Vision 968: If you have a video card with a Vision 968
chipset (Diamond Stealth 64 3000 Series, #9 Motion 771, etc.)
you will need to obtain the latest DirectX drivers from your
video card manufacturer. As of the release date, many of
these cards were still not supported under DirectX 3.0.
Tseng chipsets: If you experience problems, use the drivers
that come with DirectX 3.0. The drivers that are supplied by
Tseng are not compatible as of release date.
S3 Virge3D: If you have a card with the Virge 3D chip, use the
Virge driver from the DirectX 3.0 CD and NOT the OEM driver,
or the driver from the video card manufacturer.
3Dlabs GLINT Delta: As of the release date, these new graphics
adapters have DirectDraw drivers that do not work with some
applications. You may experience occasional “hard freezes”
that will cause your computer to lock up. Specific drivers
that support DirectX may be available in the future.
Matrox Millennium: If you have a Matrox Millenium card and are
experiencing random lockups or palette glitches, please
download the latest version of the video driver from their
website. Also, If you are running in a “dual desktop” mode
with two Matrox Millennium adapters and two monitors, you must
change the desktop size in the display properties to 1280×1024

Aztec Sound Galaxy: You may notice music skipping on some
systems. This is due to incompatibilities between Windows
DirectSound and the Aztec drivers. As of the release of
Diablo the drivers that Aztec supply do not correct this.
Specific drivers that support DirectX may be available
Diablo requires a Windows 95 compatible sound card. If you
should encounter any problems with your sound card, make sure
that all current Windows 95 and DirectX compatible drivers are
installed and, if necessary, contact your sound card

Diablo may need to use more RAM than is present on your system.
Windows 95 automatically takes care of this by using what is
known as “Virtual Memory” — it uses space on your hard disk
to simulate the memory it needs and swaps data back and forth
from your hard disk as required. Windows 95 allows you to
manually set the amount of hard drive space it uses for
In our experience, we have found that letting Windows 95
manage your Virtual Memory is easiest and best for performance.
To let Windows 95 manage your virtual memory, go to the
Windows 95 START menu, select SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, then
double-click SYSTEM, click PERFORMANCE, FILE SYSTEM,
VIRTUAL MEMORY and then select “Let Windows manage my virtual
If you are running low on virtual memory, you may need to free

6.a. Playing Diablo over Battle.net
Battle.net is an Internet gaming service provided by Blizzard
Entertainment which allows players to meet up, challenge other
players, and join games, all without paying any special
In order to use Battle.net, your computer must have the TCP/IP
protocol installed, and must provide TCP/IP support for 32-bit
applications. If you connect to the Internet using Windows
Dial-up Networking, and browse the web with Netscape Navigator
version 2.0 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0,
then you probably already have the correct TCP/IP software
installed. However, if you connect to the Internet with a
proprietary dialer or browse the web with Netscape 1.x or
another 16-bit web browser, then it is likely that your system
is not configured to support 32-bit applications. In this
case, you should contact your Internet Service Provider to
“I can chat with other users, but I can’t join a game.”
In order to play in a multiplayer game, your system must be
able to receive packets of game data (technically, UDP packets)
from other players. Some service providers don’t allow
incoming data of this type, or don’t provide users with a
unique Internet address to which packets can be sent. If you
are unsure whether your provider is blocking this type of
connection, please contact them for more information.
If you are trying to play Diablo through a computer that is
directly connected to the Internet through your employer or
other organization, you should be aware that some companies
block certain types of incoming data to their networks. To
play multiplayer games on Battle.net, you may have to ask
your network administrator to allow incoming UDP packets on
6.b. Connecting to Battle.net through America Online
To connect to Battle.net through AOL, you will need to
use the 32-bit Windows 95 AOL client software. If you are
unsure as to whether you already have this, please contact
Also, AOL’s connection to the Internet is often very slow,
which can make multiplayer games between AOL users and users
of other service providers almost unplayable.
6.c. Playing Diablo over a Local Area Network
Diablo supports multiplayer gaming over IPX-compatible
networks. If your computer is connected to a local area
network, but you are not sure whether it is IPX compatible or
not, ask your network administrator.
“I have IPX but I can’t join a game, or people can’t join my
Diablo will not play across network segments. If you are not
sure whether your network is segmented or not, contact your
You should also verify that all computers on the network are
using the same frame type. You can change the frame type that
a computer uses in the Network section of the Control Panel.
For more detailed information on setting up and diagnosing
troubles with a Local Area Network, please see the Network.doc
To play Diablo over a modem, you must ensure that your modem
is configured properly in the Microsoft Windows Modems control
“My modem won’t dial a number or answer an incoming call.”
- Disable any messaging software such as Comm. Central or any
- Disable any Fax software that is installed on your system.
- Close any other programs which may be using the modem.
You should also verify that your modem’s INIT string is
correct. Your modem manufacturer will be able to help you
with this. For more detailed information on setting
up and diagnosing troubles with a Local Area Network, please
see the Modem.doc file on the Diablo CD.
6.e. Playing Diablo over a Serial Cable Connection
You can play Diablo head to head using a null modem cable.
Simply connect the null modem cable to a free serial port on
each computer and select Direct Cable Connection from within
Diablo. One player should then select Create Game; the other
should wait until the game is running, then select Retry
“My direct link setup isn’t working.”
“I can get multiplayer games started, but they lock up during
You must ensure that the serial port you are using is
correctly configured in the Windows control panel. Also,
verify that it is not being used by other applications, and
that it does not have an IRQ conflict with another serial
port, modem, or mouse on your system. If you are unsure how
to do this, read the file Serial.doc on the Diablo CD.
“Is it true that Diablo supports up to four-player serial
games through daisy-chained serial cables?”
Yes. However, this process is complicated and is recommended
only for technically advanced users. For more information,
see the file Serial.doc on the Diablo CD.

If you have the Microsoft PowerToys system extensions
installed you may experience a black screen upon booting
Diablo, although the sounds may still be audible. If this
happens, you should remove the Microsoft PowerToys while
If you are using a NEC computer with the Merlin assistant,
you may experience video problems when starting the game.
If this happens, disable Merlin by removing the icon from your
Startup menu and rebooting your computer. For additional
information, contact NEC technical support at (800) 632-4554.

If video playback is slow or choppy on your system, you can
adjust the size of the playback window using the VidSize
utility, which is installed in the Diablo directory.

9. Updates, Patches & General Troubleshooting
You can check Blizzard’s web site (http://www.blizzard.com)
for the latest information on updates and patches for Diablo.
Also, whenever you connect to Battle.net, your software will
automatically be upgraded to the latest version. For more
information on Battle.net, see the “Playing Diablo over
There is a possibility of slower game play on slower systems
while music is playing. For better performance, the music
volume should be set to zero. Music and sound volumes may be
set by using the Options menu while playing Diablo.
You can change the cache size of your CD-ROM to increase
performance and decrease CD load times. This can be done by
opening the START menu from your task bar, selecting SETTINGS
and then opening the CONTROL PANELS folder. Now open your
SYSTEM properties file and select the PERFORMANCE tab. Click
on the FILE SYSTEMS button and select the CD-ROM tab. Every
CD-ROM uses different cache sizes and access patterns, so you
may need to experiment with these to find the optimum setting
for your CD-ROM. If you have less than 16MB of RAM, you will
want to set your cache size to as low as possible. If you have
more than 16MB of RAM and are experiencing slowdown, you can
Another method of increasing performance in Diablo is to add
RAM to your computer if you are playing on an 8MB system.
Windows 95 uses about 2.5 MB of your available RAM, and
this causes Diablo to use virtual memory. This process is
slower than using RAM directly, and while the speed of your
processor is a factor in the performance of the game,
additional memory can greatly enhance your game speed on
Diablo is a Windows 95 program that is capable of running
while other programs are running in the background. For
best performance we suggest you shut down all other programs
(including your Microsoft Office toolbar) while playing.
Diablo supports the use of multiple CD-ROM drives and CD
changers on a single system, so please feel free to play
your Diablo CD from any properly configured CD-ROM drive.

Diablo can be uninstalled from the Autorun menu or through
the Diablo group in your start menu. When uninstalling Diablo,
you will be asked if you also wish to delete your saved games.
Checking this box will delete all saved games of Diablo.
Should you wish to keep your saved games on your hard drive,
DO NOT check this box when prompted.
For users who are running both Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0
on their systems, please note that you must uninstall Diablo
from the same OS where it was installed (i.e. if you install
Diablo under Windows 95, you must uninstall from Windows 95
To uninstall Battle.net you will need to open the START menu
from your task bar. Open the CONTROL PANELS folder and select
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. You will see Battle.net in the program
list and to remove it, select Battle.net and click the
