Their “old graphics mode” is a sham. Made to look like release version classic D2 on minimum settings on a potato gfx.
Check any classic/LoD image on Google. The difference is night and day. “Classic graphics mode” on D2R looks worse than D1.

OG is unplayable in the Remaster. Stuttering Like hell. And of course, ugly like hell.

My problem with the graphics switching is its a gimmick. It is cool, but it should have been a promotional feature, used in alpha/beta to show the difference. I just can’t imagine anyone actually using it on the regular to warrant whatever resources it uses.
But that’s me. I think they should clean this up as much as possible and then have a trimmed down D2R features with just whats needed.

You never crash in Legacy (G) mode. Its been proven.
I sense great deceit in you.
I use the new graphics because the old ones don’t look right in D2:R.
Not only that, but the way they describe the database stuff in addition to some of the bugs, keeping that (or at least the code that runs it) is the core of the problem.
The one thing I really don’t like with the new graphics is warcry barbarian doesn’t use the same casting animation, in the new version he keeps his arms down when he shouts, in legacy graphics he throws them up in a Y formation, which is just so much funnier and cooler especially at 105fcr
lol
the new style just reminds me of diablo 3 or some random game.
If classic mode wasn’t on this, I wouldn’t have purchased it and just continued to play the old version of 1.45 i was playin’ lol
new school doesn’t know what they’s missin’
The idea that anyone who comes from old D2 likes the D2R legacy graphics is pure unadulterated trolling.

I have to agree, it’s harder to look at than the old client somehow. I get liking different things so I will try not to judge harshly but it hurts the eyes so much.

what version of the old are you comparing it to? lol
The one on my computer right now that I’m playing. 1.14 with WindowedBorderlessGaming so it’s in the correct aspect ratio. The one running in D2:R has a roughness that isnt’ fixed with sharpening adjustments, and the animation doesn’t look right.
hum strange looks the same to me
Pick any D2 screenshot you can find online. I literally can’t find one that looks anything even close as bad to the D2R legacy graphics.
i dont need to look at a picture i’ve got the game lol
So boot it up and just look at the game. Saying D2Rs legacy graphics match D2 is a lie.
I’m all for letting players disable one of the modes entirely, should it actually help run computers even slightly cooler. I have no interest in running OG mode ever, so yeah, I’d prefer to just one “version” of the game at a given time rather than two.
