Hello, I am running Diablo 2 LOD with this glide wrapper: Working fine for me and performance is much better than 2D mode, and it looks better too. Performance is about as good as under windows, hard to see any great differance really. Installation notes: 1. Download zip-archive, 2. Unzip to your diablo 2 dir. Run glide-init.exe via point2play, like when you're installing a patch. Then run videotest and select Glide 5. Simcity 4 deluxe edition full version.

Then run Diablo II Hope you find this usefull too My system is a: P3 450 Katmai with a Geforce 5200 Using point2play 2.0.3 to play - default settings exept sysver is 'winme' and decrease winserver priority is enabled, not sure if this matters though Tested to work with the 1.11b patch. EDIT: Does not work with point2play 2.0.3, 1.11b & battle.net, strange thing is that it did worked on my first try, but not since. Should work again when cedega get support for the new 1.11b patch fixed Performance with vsync disabled in the wrapper, I get 65 fps standing about in town, but this can drop to below 20 fps when the action on screen picks up. But is typically around 30 to 40 running around killing, depending on if i have minimap enabled or not glxgears is about 1060 FPS with my hardware.

I'm having trouble using glidewrapper now. I used to play D2 LoD a couple of months back on my PC and had no problems with it. Running Glide with Diablo II. I had to fiddle with the options in the Glide wrapper to. It lets you emulate Glide, the original graphics API Diablo 2 was.

Distro is Ubuntu 5.04. Also have copied all.mpq files from the game cds to the diablo 2 dir.

Hoping that my new AMD Sempron will arrive soon Last edited by jbo; September 22nd, 2005 at 01:58 PM.

Click to expand.I'm running Windows 7 RC1 64-bit too and this is how I got it working: 1. If you are running aero Run glide-init.exe with 'Disable visual themes', 'Disable desktop composition', 'Disable display scaling on high DPI' (I think the last two is optional).

Ticked following parameters from Settings menu: centered, captured mouse, keep aspect ratio, desktopresolution, auto refreshrate ( these are personal settings but use what ever suits you). Renderer menu: 64MB texture-memory 1024x1024 buffer-texture-size ALL CHECKBOXES WITH EXCEPTION OF 'no gamma', which disables your ability to tune in-game gamma and contrast. Enable all checkboxes from Extensions menu ( WGLARBrendertexture was not enabled for me, which caused black screen and glitchy graphics, so remember to enable this) 5.

Quit from glide-init. Make a new shortcut to Diablo II.exe and go to properties of it. In Shortcut tab, add -3dfx OUTSIDE THE QUOTE MARKS IF THERE ARE ANY (if you are running windowed, add -w also). In Compatibility tab, use 'Windows 98 / Windows Me' compatibility mode, enable all 'Disable. ' checkboxes, as we did in Step 1. (I'm not sure if the compatibility setting is needed, worked fine with me) 7. Run Diablo II from the new shortcut.

This fixed my colors getting mixed up while tabbing out of game and after watching cinematics. Re: Glide wrapper Hi, I'm having problems with this wrapper too. No matter which settings I modify the game works but all the textures and such look corrupted. System: Vista 64 bit sp2 2x ATi 4890's in crossfire with Cat. 9.8's 4GB RAM e4500 OC'd to 3.5Ghz 24' Acer LCD, 1080p native, desktop resolution @ 1080p, Aero is enabled Windows Defender for AntiMalware wrapper ver. 1.4d (saved in DII folder) latest version of D2 wrapper settings enabled: captured mouse keep aspect ratio refresh rate=auto keepdesktopresolution 64MB texture memory 1024x1024 buffer texture size 32 bit rendering texture for videos bilinear filtering shader gamma upper left corner for stats digital clock framerate everything but WGLARBrendertexture enabled under extensions (enabling it has no effect) Already tried running DII under win98/Me compatibility mode with 'Disable visual themes', 'Disable desktop composition', 'Disable display scaling on high DPI' checked. Tried making another shortcut with the same settings but added -3dfx to target outside of quotes, didn't change anything.

The game runs just fine, but its all screwed up. Opening credits (Blizz intro and such) render perfectly fine. Chose the Glide renderer too with the Video test as well. E: Also just tried disabling Crossfire and Aero, still no effect. I don't know what else to do. E2: OK guys, reread sven's FAQ, I just tried disabling all extensions and it works (and looks!) fantastic (e3: you can leave Aero and Crossfire on too BTW, works just fine with both on).

E4: FYI, this caused a significant drop in fps (test window fps went from 640 to 440fps, in game fps is around 30-90fps), but everything still runs smoothly. Sorry to bug you guys. E3: FYI: changing the fixed resolution and aspect ratio adds a 'pause' to the loading screens. The game works/looks just fine, it just adds that strange little behavoir. Re: Glide wrapper First post - and in a fair hurry too, so I haven't read through enough of these 12 pages to rightfully ask for help.:whistling: However, I'm trying to run Diablo 2 on a UMPC with a (terrible) GMA 500.

You'd have thought Diablo 2 would be the perfect game for a device with such horrendous 3D support. Unfortunately Diablo 2 will not recognise DirectDraw in the VidTest, and instead automatically opt for D3D as the only option, which gleans 1-6 fps. (Divine Divinity works at 130+fps with DirectDraw, and about 10fps with D3D). I tried downloading the Glide-Wrapper (from ), but it hangs or crashes at every setting I've tried. The system is XP home SP3, Atom 1.33ghz, 1gb Ram, GMA 500. DX diagnostics report no problems with DD (dx9.0c) and the graphics card driver is the newest Intel release.

Is there a page somewhere which summarises all that has been learned from these 12 pages, or a screenshot of the correct settings?
