Diablo 1 not starting, Says Direct X is needed

Diablo 1 won´t start, complains about me not having DirectX and it can be found on the CD. Just bought this Game through Blizzard Launcher. How come it doesn´t work? Help please, shouldn´t have to download DX just to get this one game going.

See this topic on the US forums… there are a few workarounds that you can try…

Best of luck with this.

If you can’t get it running quickly, I would refund… you only have a 14-day grace period:

Thanks for the answers Boubou, think I will make use of my 14-day grace period :+1:

You’re welcome – Best of luck with this…

Diablo I was a good game… and got me hooked up on the Diablo series. I still have the original Diablo CD here. I no longer play Diablo I, but still play Diablo II LoD once in a while. I play Diablo III mostly.

OK - keep in mind that, if you do get it running, there’s also a limit of 2 hours of playing criterion for refunds. Enough for a few quests with a few hero classes… to figure out if you like the genre or not.

Take care !
