It's not saving the chars. Reddit shows others having the same issue. There's not even a "save" option, just "exit." A reinstall fixed it, but it still doesn't save dungeon progress. What I also saw some say that fixed it was 1. run it in windows 7 or 8 compatability mode and, 2. set it to run as admin in the properties. If that doesn't work, reinstall fixed it for me.
Which mod are you trying to use? Belzebub auto-saves chars to Data/player_save folder. For Tchernobog - it is in /Diablo 1 Tchernobog/Save Folder. If there are no savefiles, then something might be wrong with system permissions. Also, there is no save option in menu since the game autosaves your progress. If you press Exit game, you exit to windows. If you want to go back to main screen, press New Game.
@@Firzj No, for Beel I have to create a new char each time I run the game. For Tcher, it doesn't save the dungeon progress, but does save the inventory, stash, & char lvls. Run as admin is set in the properties, so permissions shouldn't be an issue. I don't want to replay dungeon lvl 1 every time I start the game, gets old.
@@SequinBrain I haven't encountered this issue so I have no clue how to fix this 🤔 As for Tchernobog, the dungeons don't save in multiplayer games. They should reset each time you enter the game, so it's all good
No problem. The mod doesn't allow switching "visuals" on the go, but you can simply launch the Diablo.exe to play the original game. Use tchernobog.exe or Belzebub.exe when you want to play HD. I think original savefiles are not compatible with the mod though.
Anyone know if this works with the Blizzard Launcher version that came out in Jan2024? If not, does anyone have any tips for getting that version to run more modern? Ty in advance!
Theoretically it should work if it has the same old file system. I don't think Blizz uses Casq file format for that game. And to launch the mod via launcher you can change command arguments. But if the game is in Casq format, then there is no way to run this mod
I got the DirectX error when i tried to run it from the Blizzard launcher. Clicking the shortcut started the game immediately, and now im able to start it from the Blizzard launcher too. Not sure what happened...
hello my friend, the game keeps asking for a cd room. I dont know where I should copy the DIABDAT file considering there is no dx folder. I just wanted to play the game...
Im so bad with computers, but I really want to play. I got the archive downloaded, downloaded diablo, opened it and it worked. But getting the mod in is really stumping me. I copied the mpq but I have no idea where to put it. I just made a new folder named it diablo1 and put it in there. Then I downloaded the belzebub mod and put it that folder and when I try to open it, it says I dont have the mpq. I need help
You need to install/unpack Diablo to any folder. Then copy Data.mpq file into the installed Diablo root folder (where .exe executable is located). The game should be working at that point. Then unpack Belzebub on top of that and run via belzebub.exe. I have all the instructions on my website (link in description)
@@kiraxalex2736 what is your screen resolution? This mod might not be optimized for some aspect ratios. I guess the only way is to play in windowed mode
@@kiraxalex2736 that's weird. I don't have a solution for this, sorry. I have the same resolution but never had that problem. I'm on windows 10. 16:9 wide screen. If you solve this problem, let me know I'll update my guide ✌️
It should be working without a CD if you copy that file next to the exe in the root folder and launch the vanilla game. Maybe it's the comparability issue or it's not the original copy, or you have overwritten the game with a mod. Try to launch it as admin in 98-xp mode or try another iso copy
Hi, I haven't tried other language packs yet but I think it shouldn't be hard to install. Try to unpack tchernobog/belzebub first. Then unpack the language pack into the game folder. You can download different languages from the official noktis website
@@LivingPine I don't remember exactly, but I think no, it doesn't save started/half-cleared dungeons. When you re-enter the game, it resets, but I think you can unlock Waypoints (aka. checkpoints) on certain levels and then use them to TP in a different game session
if I'm correct this error happens when you mix mod files. You can unpack either tchernobog or belzebub to diablo client. If you unpack both, you will get dll error. If you want to play multiplayer - override the game with tchernobog; for singleplayer - belzebub. If it is not related to game files, then try to launch the game with win XP compatibility. P.s I use win11 and I have no such problem. I hope this helps 👍
You are talking way to fast for anyone to understand your explanation on how to play Diablo one on Windows 11. If you want help computer dummies slow down your explanation! Thank you, Gary Jones
Great Video. easy to follow, i really appreciate this Gameplay Upgrade.
I've been into fallout 1 and 2 lately and so i was interested in thr giants of that time and all i can say is it looks very amazing thank you
Got bored of Diablo 4 at lvl 60 lol
I'm thinking on going back to D1, it's been years since i played it
Thanks for the guide! This worked perfectly.

did it actually worked?
Yes
I have diablo hellfire from gog and can’t get it to work 😔
I followed the exact steps and get the MSVCP100.dll and MSVCR100.dll errors. I’ve spent hours trying to figure this out and very frustrated 😅

To save chars you need to execute te game launcher as admin
@@Eder999 not sure what it was, but it fixed itself somehow. thx!
I moved MPQ file but it's still not working. I can't get past the blizzard logo, it goes dark and then exits. I didn't do any mods.
Try to run it on comparability mode with admin rights. If mpq is in the root D1 folder then it should work
you need to slow the f down so we can understand
@@chadherzog998 change the playback speed then lol
Thank you so much! I have one question tho. With the hd mod can i disable the extra features? i want to play the original Diablo first.

Copy diabdat from the root installation CD/ISO to the root folder of installed Diablo. Then eject CD/ISO
When I put it in full screen for the first time, it zoomed in too much and now its impossbile to play
What happens when you change video resolution or aspect ratio?
How do I save the game? I’m currently playing instead of every time I play it’s a new game.
@@EADN20 the game doesn't save dungeons. It only autosaves your char. I think you can unlock waypoints on certain floors to resume your progress.

When I put it in full screen I can’t see the bottom bar of my screen. As in the map, menu, quests, char, inv, and spells buttons.
Try alt+enter combination to resize game window. Maybe the resolution settings aren't correct.

when I copy the DIABDAT file to the install folder from the first steps it asks for CD in the CD rom, any idea why and how to fix it? :(

help please

Ugh. It's always a video from some guy with an accent so think, no one can understand it.
I have subtitles in all of my videos. Be grateful it's not Indian accent
You just haven't heard enough people speaking different accents. The more you hear it, the easier it is for your brain to comprehend.
@Rsixsix I'm guessing you're American and can only speak one language. This video was totally clear and understandable.
I'm from Argentina and I understand him perfectly lol
