Best way to run Diablo II (Sticky?) - Blizzard Sector

Disposition96 · 06-30-2008, 07:15 AM

Ok, now that I can post links....

The best way to run D2 video wise is with Glide which is how blizzard was originally going to design the game, it runs way smoother, more color, more vibrant, more settings and everything, Glide is what Unix uses for video!

You can get it here : http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/index.html

There's a complete guide in the actual program itself that explains all the options. :)

It was talking about glide which is how unix/linux run video, it also works in windows however and there's a file that allows you to properly run diablo 2 in it and a site ect to go with, was just trying to help the people but I guess that's at a halt until I get 15 posts. :P

Not too far off 15. I should make it so that when you hit submit it pops up with a warning about posting URL's under X posts instead of posting with the "message"

i can wait until you can lol, will that mean you can run d2 windescreen in windows too?

Disposition96 · 06-30-2008, 08:16 AM

It runs smoother and better IMO with Glide, you can run it your full monitor ect in windowed mode ect. Just need to wait for my 15th post.:P

That I do. :) Excelent additive I must say. :P

So... How much space is that 300+ files taking up? I'm assuming you have it backed up to in case your HD crashes. :P

Doesn't take up that much. Have a few copies of it. 99% useless gear now.
