Glide/3DFX doesn’t work because modern graphics cards don’t support it.

Also if ran in windowed mode, the mouse is not locked to the game window. Perspective works, the gamma and contrast sliders do not work. It is hit or miss on working properly depending on your graphics card, drivers and/or monitor resolution support.ĭirect3D is also hit or miss on working properly, depending on your graphics card and/or drivers. Gamma and brightness sliders don’t work, neither does perspective. If you run windowed, the mouse isn’t locked to the game window, if you accidentally click outside of the game window, it minimizes. If you run full screen, it doesn’t maintain the 4x3 aspect ratio, so on modern wide screen monitors it gives the game a wide stretched look.

Diablo 2 was meant to run optimally with Glide.ĭirectDraw is the default graphic mode that anyone without the wrapper will be using, and it has a few problems. Why do I need it?ĭiablo 2 offers three graphics modes, DirectDraw, Direct3D and Glide. Here is a Wikipedia article for more information about 3DFX Interactive. It is a piece of software that translates the Glide API commands to be recognized by OpenGL/DirectX, allowing modern graphics cards to run older games that use Glide for 3D acceleration. This applies to the classic Diablo 2(2000)/Lord of Destruction(2001) game, not Diablo 2:Resurrected. These settings were found on the original forums. I’m posting this to share the settings I’ve found using Sven’s Glide Wrapper which works well with Diablo 2/LoD.
