Hello,
I am running Diablo 2 LOD with this glide wrapper:
http://www.tu-harburg.de/~sisl0020/english/downloads.html
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.
3. Run glide-init.exe via point2play, like when you're installing a patch.
4. Then run videotest and select Glide
5. 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.
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 :P
