If loading stops
- Use Play Free Demo for the limited demo; full-game loading needs your own MPQ.
- If the source reports Game already open, close other Diablo Web tabs before retrying; do not clear saved data to fix that message.
- Export local saves before clearing browser storage or changing devices; save export itself was not tested here.
Before you start
- Resources
- The source describes a 25–50 MB initial shareware download. Full Diablo requires your own legally obtained DIABDAT.MPQ; Arcadle supplies no retail game files.
- Account
- No account or payment was requested in the tested demo session.
- Storage and saves
- The project documents local IndexedDB game/save storage and save export. Export/import was not tested. Clearing site data may remove local progress.
