Somebody was able to make a DLL that ran 800x600 mode before LoD was released, and you also had to make a Registry key to use it. If you can find out who did that one, you can ask how he did it. I don't know myself, and haven't seen the topic come up.On the other hand, it is likely to be a LOT of DLL work, and what will you get out of it? On a 21-inch monitor, figures in 800x600 aren't all that large, and the higher modes would just make it worse. So you see a little farther in each direction, already you can see monsters before they can see you if you don't rush into places. Next, you'll need a top-end computer or your frame rate will really sag with all the extra screen information you'll be processing. And that is IF you can get the mode to work and be stable.

There was no DLL editing involved. This came out for CD2 1.08 before the expansion was released. CD2 1.08+ code is nearly identical to D2X. It included the capacity for 800x600, but required some UI graphics and a registry entry to activate it.
