True Shot was fixed in the original download release (1.004a), but unfortunately broken again in the update (see
1.005a problem). Even without True Shot, though, archery is very effective, especially combined with Poison Weapon.
Someone said DD was listed on Steam's upcoming games registry (
here), so if it is getting a new release, maybe they managed to do another update (the desire to do so mentioned more than a year ago in a
status update topic). Or there could be a different reason to release it on Steam now when it wasn't when D2:ED and DKS were added.
Depending on how scratched your disks are it might still be possible to recover the files and do a manual install (though you may want the download version anyway for the widescreen and higher resolution support).
