Welcome to DevilutionX diablo.ini configuration guide!

The config folder path may differ depending on OS version and security settings, but will normally be as follows:

  • Android Android/data/org.diasurgical.devilutionx/files
  • Linux ~/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution/
  • macOS ~/Library/Application Support/diasurgical/devilution
  • Windows %AppData%\diasurgical\devilution

You can specify the location by setting the --config-dir argument when starting the program.

By changing diablo.ini, you can configure the game to your liking. The options are divided into sections, where each adjustment comes with an individual description. Setting a value outside the allowed parameters will cause the game to ignore the setting and use the built-in defaults. The values below are the defaults as the game generates the file.

[Diablo] [Hellfire] [Audio] [Graphics] [Game] [Network] [Controller] [Language]

[Diablo]

Intro=1

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Enable/disable Intro cinematic.

[Hellfire]

Intro=1

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Enable/disable Intro cinematic.

[Audio]

Sound Volume=0

0=Max Volume, -1600=No Sound; Adjust sound volume.

Music Volume=0

0=Max Volume, -1600=No Music; Adjust music volume.

Walking Sound=1

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Enable walking sound.

Auto Equip Sound=0

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Enable Auto Equip sound.

[Graphics]

Width=640

Height=480

These settings affect the game's internal resolution and determine your view area. You can now easily change to your desired view area by changing the values. For example for 1920x1080 you would enter width=1920 and height=1080. Note: This is not the same as screen resolution, see Upscaling or Fit to Screen

Fullscreen=1

0=Windowed, 1=Fullscreen; This sets the game to run in Windowed or Fullscreen

Upscale=1

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Enable image scaling from the game's internal resolution to your monitor resolution, this also allowing for window resizing. If disabled the game will instead change your monitor resolution to match the internal Width and Height.

Fit to Screen=1

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Automatically adjust the game window to your current desktop screen aspect ratio and resolution.

Scaling Quality=2

0=nearest neighbor, 1=bilinear, 2=anisotropic; Enables optional filters to the output image when upscaling.

Integer Scaling=0

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Scales the image using whole number pixel ratio. If Fit to Screen is enabled and your monitor is not a multiple of the internal resolution, the internal resolution will be expanded to commodate it. For example, 1920x1080 would result in a 2x scaling of a 960x540 view area. Or alternatively, 640x480 scaled 2x, resulting in 1280x960 with black boarders if Fit to Screen is disabled.

Vertical Sync=1

0=disabled, 1=enabled; Forces waiting for Vertical Sync. Prevents tearing effect when drawing a frame. Disabling it can help with mouse lag on some systems.
