Diablo 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Diablo 2 resets twice a year and I always seem to get hooked when it does. One problem I have encountered in Diablo 2 is not being able to leave the game without alt-tabbing. I will normally play other games like Runescape or Minecraft while creating a mule for my main character. You can create a mule by creating or joining a game and just sitting in town for a few hours. Mules are nice to have in case you fill up your chest on one character and want to hold onto other items. Diablo 2 Windowed Mode should come as a setting but we can do it with these steps.

Lets Get Started

There is no setting in Diablo 2 that lets you switch to windowed mode. You can use this little trick to put any game in windowed mode if you need to. First you will need to find your Diablo 2 Shortcut. After finding the shortcut you will need to edit your programs properties. You can do this by right clicking the shortcut and left clicking properties.

Ya, while you can actually specify launch options on mac, this game ignores the '-windowed' one; if you declare it, the game seems to launch in windowed mode, but immediately switches to fullscreen. Thx again tho, i learned something new today (mac launch options), but unfortunately it does not currently have an affect on this game.

After you open the properties you will see a text box called “Target”. If you don’t see the text box you will want to make sure your on the correct tab. All you will need is to add ” -w” after the Target location in the text box. It is important that you include the space between the closing bracket and the “-w”. There you have it try to launch the game and you will have Diablo 2 Windowed Mode.

Windowed overcomes this issue by pretending to be a mobile browser, allowing you to visit the Instgram mobile website directly from your Mac or Windows PC. All of your interactions including login are done directy with Instagram, Windowed is simply a tool that lets you access the Instagram mobile website. If you wish for the game to display at native (desktop) resolution but not in Fullscreen mode, you can do so by applying these launch parameters. If you play on Steam, this is most easily done by setting a Launch Parameter in the Steam Client. In Steam, go to your Library; Right Click on the game title; Select Properties.

If you want your game to be in full screen windowed mode you will have to go a little deeper. Your monitor resolution will have to go down to your game resolution and probably disable the title bar. I would recommend not going down that rabbit hole but some people like to have control.

After you make Diablo 2 windowed mode you can check out some other improvements. Spam has become insane in D2 and if you haven’t set up a ad filter for Battle.net yet click here. Also check out my post on how to use the battle.net chat commands here.

Sometimes it happens that the game works fine only in windowed mode, or you prefer it so run, and full-screen mode does not suit you, and in windowed mode uncomfortable to play with the window frame. And how to fix it?

How to open a window without frame in games

It's simple, with the program Fullscreenizer you remove the frame, and it will actually be stretched to full screen window mode of the game. Besides – it allows you to get in windowed mode other than FPS! Official site we could not find, but you can download it from the link below:
