Diablo Hellfire

Status

Supported on Windows 10/11

I am using the retail CD version of Diablo Hellfire.

Patch updated: October 13th, 2023

Problem

The first problem I had with Diablo Hellfire was that the colors looked messed up on Windows 10/11.

Initial Solution

There are other patches for Diablo Hellfire like this one here. However I found out that Diablo Hellfire also worked fine with the DdrawCompat libraries.

Current Solution

The current solution no longer requires DDrawCompat. Instead I am using Dd7to9, which is able to convert the DirectDraw APIs to Direct3D 9.

Installation

In order to install the Windows 10/11 patch for Diablo Hellfire you can follow these steps:

1. Download the fix below.
2. Unzip the files to your Diablo Hellfire installation folder (where the hellfire.exe file exists).
3. Start the game and enjoy!

If you run into issues check the compatibility settings. I am running with the all the compatibility settings disabled.
