About D2DX
D2DX is a graphics wrapper and modernization tool for classic Diablo II and Lord of Destruction. It turns the old Glide rendering path into a DirectX 11-based experience, helping the game behave better on modern Windows systems while keeping the original Diablo II look and feel. Its main strengths are smoother fullscreen and windowed mode, fast Alt-Tab, widescreen and high-quality scaling, high FPS through motion prediction, anti-aliasing and fixes for old window-related glitches. For D2 Horadric it should be listed as a Tool rather than a server because it does not provide an online realm. It is useful for classic LoD players, private server clients and legacy modded installations, but it should not be presented as a Diablo II: Resurrected tool.
