If you spent hours running the same boss in Diablo II: Resurrected and want to show a friend the moment a rare rune finally dropped, record it with DOR, trim just that scene, and send it as a link. Diablo II: Resurrected is Blizzard's action RPG, available on Windows through Battle.net and Steam, and it became a supported 'full-play recording' game in DOR with the October 2026 app update. When you launch the game, DOR detects it automatically and saves everything from launch to exit as a single video. Farming repeats the same scene endlessly, so the longer the recording gets, the harder it is to find the drop. This guide focuses on how to pinpoint that one moment among all the repetition.
Keep Recording On While Farming, but Free Up Space First
You never know when a drop will come, so keeping recording on the whole time you farm is how you avoid missing the moment that matters. The catch is that hours of footage fill your disk fast, and recording stops automatically when free space drops below 20GB. To keep the big drop from landing right after recording stopped, free up space before you start farming, and if a recording did not get saved, follow the checks in how to fix recordings not saving to find the cause.
How to Find Drops in a D2R Farming Recording and Send Them
- 1Check the toggle and disk space, then start farmingIn DOR settings, make sure Diablo II: Resurrected is turned on under 'Full-play recording' and that you have comfortably more than 20GB of free disk space, then launch the game. Auto-detection starts the recording, and it keeps going until you close the game.
- 2Write down the run number the moment something dropsWhen you repeat the same boss, the scenes in a recording look nearly identical. When something valuable drops, jotting down which run it was, or the time, on the spot is the fastest way to find it later.
- 3Count runs by the loading screenEvery time you make a new game for a boss run, a loading screen passes by. Scrub quickly through the playback bar in the library and count the loading screens, and you can jump straight to the run number you wrote down.
- 4Cut from just before the kill to the pickupIf you keep only the drop itself, it is hard to tell which boss it came from. Cut 15 to 30 seconds, from a few seconds before the boss falls until you pick up the item and check its name, so the context of the find comes through.
- 5Center runewords on the last runeA runeword is finished when the last rune goes in after you insert them one by one. Keep only from just before you insert the last rune in your inventory until you hover over the finished item to show its stats, and you get a short, clear video.
- 6Bundle your finds and send a linkPick a ratio in the trim tool and finish, and a dor.gg link is created. If you trimmed several finds over the day, merge them into one video in the Studio and paste the link to the friend you farm with or into your clan chat.
What to Look For and How to Cut Each D2R Farming or Progression Scene
| Farming or Progression Scene | What to Look For in the Recording | Cut Length and Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Rune drop during a boss run | The moment an item with a different name color lands where the boss fell | 15 to 30 seconds from just before the kill to the pickup, 16:9 |
| Unique or set find | Opening your inventory after the pickup to check the item's stats | About 30 seconds covering the drop and the stat check |
| Finishing a runeword | The inventory screen where you insert runes in order into a socketed item | 10 to 20 seconds around the last rune going in |
| First Hell difficulty boss kill | Pushing through a tough area and taking down the boss for the first time | The final 1 to 2 minutes of the fight, 16:9 |
| First game with a new class | Right after making a new class on the character select screen | A few early fights compiled to about 1 minute |
| Close call in a party hunt | A stretch where your health hit the bottom and you survived | The friend you hunted with, 20 to 40 seconds |

How DOR Records D2R
DOR is a free Windows desktop app. When you launch Diablo II: Resurrected, it detects the game automatically and records one mp4 video until you close it. It does not cut rune drops or boss kills into automatic highlights. Find the scene you want in the app's library, set the start and end points with the trim tool, choose 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1, and a dor.gg link is created. To weave several finds into one video, use DOR Studio, which opens in your browser with no install, to merge videos and add text, effect templates, and background music, then download an mp4 or share a link. For the order of joining clips, see how to merge multiple game clips, and for the Studio layout, see editing clips in your browser. Game sound and your mic are recorded together, so your shout at the moment of the drop stays in too. When you don't want to record D2R, you can turn it off per game under 'Full-play recording' in settings, and a confirmation window appears when you do.
