So I think your character is a classic pre-expansion character. I did confirm that the option for “O” Mercenary screen does NOT show up in controls for classic characters, but does for Expansion characters. This same blue flag will appear next to a character you create, so you should be able to quickly determine if your character is classic from the character selection screen. That blue flag is a toggle button to allow you to choose, although I thought it was “off” by default. When you create your character, did you happen to choose the “blue flag” with “II” symbol on it as shown in this image? That would create a per-expansion character. Similarly you could create a new character and choose to play the base original, “classic” game.įast forward to Diablo II: Resurrected and it includes the LoD Expansion as the single game, but it still allows you to choose a “pre-expansion” or expansion character when creating your character. If you had the original game, then purchased LoD, you could chose to start a new character as an expansion character, or you could convert your existing non-expansion character to expansion.

“Classic” refers to the base game, without the LoD expansion package.

This added 2 playable characters (Assassin and Druid), as well as lots of additional items and features, one such that you can equip mercenaries. Then they came out with an expansion package, called Lord of Destruction (LoD). Once the game loads, your controller will automatically be enabled.So the original game, Diablo II, released with 5 playable characters and 4 acts.

Launch Diablo from your steam library.

A list of detected games should appear, you should see Diablo 2 Resurrected Beta in the list. Go to Games -> 'Add a Non-Steam Game To My Library'. Check the 'Switch Pro Configuration Support' and “Generic Gamepad Configuration Support” options. Go to Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings.

Make sure you have Switch Pro Controller support enabled in Steam.

Good news is, there's a very easy way to 'convert' the Pro controller, or other DirectInput controllers, to XInput, using Steam of all things. The Switch Pro Controller, and many controllers you'll find on amazon, use an older technology known as DirectInput. The problem is that most recent PC games (including D2R) only support XInput controllers, which include the Xbox One controller.
