Diablo II: Resurrected, tätä ominaisuutta ei tueta ainakaan heti julkaisussa

Diablo II: Resurrected julkaistaan 23. syyskuuta PC:lle, Playstationille, Xboxille ja Nintendo Switchille. Linjoilla on jo pidetty niin alfailua kuin betailuakin, ja tuolloin ultra-wide-monitoreilla pelaavilla oli kivaa, sillä myös kuvasuhde 21:9 oli tuettuna. Nyt kuitenkin on selvinnyt, että varsinaisessa julkaisussa ei tätä ultra-wide-monitorien tukea ole mukana.

Syynä ratkaisulle on, että ylileveällä monitorilla pelaavilla peli käyttäytyi eri tavoin kuin muilla.

"In the Technical Alpha, players with Ultrawide hardware saw their full 21:9 screens utilized during that test. However, during that test we identified limitations affecting those players and others. For example, the AI failed to sense the player and trigger attacks. Furthermore, players with 21:9 monitors were able to pull many more monsters into battle at a range limit beyond the original game's intention. In a scenario where players (for example: playing a ranged class) were attacking monsters, players with 21:9 monitors could hit enemies with that extra screen space, but the monsters would not pull or react, but could still be defeated. Ultimately, the AI doesn't register getting hit from that additional distance a 21:9 monitor provides. That's not intended, especially if you're sharing a game with a 16:9 user."

Blogissa tähdennetään, että tavoitteena on saada kaikille pelaajille samanlainen kokemus heti julkaisussa, ja siksi ylileveää ruutua ei tueta ainakaan heti.

"To protect the integrity of everyone's experience and promote an equal playing field for all, those with Ultrawide monitors will be able to have their game screen purview extended to 19:9 (the maximum length of the in-game limitation zones) with a vignette on the sides of the game screen."
