What Is the File Extension .D2I?

Produced by Blizzard Entertainment, the Diablo series of games is a type of fantasy role-playing computer game, where players encounter and do battle with evil monsters. A number of files are associated with Diablo games, including .d2i files.

Identification

A file with the .d2i file extension is known as a Diablo 2 item file.

Function

D2i files contain the graphics and instructions for how an item that you collect during a quest in Diablo 2 is used in the game.

Benefits

The .d2i file serves as a marker to your computer, allowing the file to be quickly located when Diablo 2 requires the item for game play. This prevents an interruption or pause as you play.

Source

Some .d2i files are installed with the program software for Diablo 2. Third-party websites also offer .d2i files that allow you to add new items to the game.

Considerations

Because these files are required for Diablo 2 to function correctly, never delete a .d2i file from your computer.
