D2-Web (Diablo II: Lord of Destruction in the browser)

How to play

1. Open diablo2.virtastic.app in desktop Chrome or Edge.
2. Click Choose Folder and pick your Diablo II folder, or click Choose Files, or drag the .mpq files onto the page.
3. When the page says All files found, click Enter Sanctuary.
4. Click Single Player, pick a hero, type a name and click OK.

Your Diablo II folder is the one that holds d2data.mpq, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Diablo II on Windows or /Applications/Diablo II on macOS.

What you need

• Your own Diablo II and Lord of Destruction install. The page lists these files: d2data, d2exp, d2char, d2sfx, d2speech, d2xtalk, d2music, d2xmusic, d2video, d2xvideo and patch_d2, all ending in .mpq.
• A desktop Chromium browser.

What works

The README’s status is playable: towns, wilderness and dungeons, combat and skills, items, vendors, waypoints and saves. It says some details still differ from the original game. Battle.net is off.

Other ways to run it

• Your own server: the project publishes a Docker image with the engine and the web page, and no game data. Each player then chooses their own files.
• Desktop app: an unsigned preview for Windows, Linux and macOS, with the same page in its own window. Version 0.1.38 came out on 2 November 2026.
• From source: needs Docker, Node.js 24 and a game patched to 1.13c.

Is it safe and legal?

• What we saw on 4 November 2026: every request stayed on diablo2.virtastic.app, with no ads or pop-ups before the file picker. We did not get past it.
• Game content: the project says it ships no Blizzard files, and it needs yours to run. The page does carry its own widescreen menu backgrounds and the 1.13c patch data.
• The engine was written by studying the retail 1.13c program, not clean-room, as the README says. It is an unofficial fan project, and Blizzard could object to it.
• The README says much of the code was written with heavy help from AI tools, directed and reviewed by a human maintainer.

Do not use the Docker image’s hosted mode to share game files publicly. The README warns that anyone who can open such a page can download them.
