I am running xp on a laptop and it works great in windowed mode, but 8 fps as mentioned before in full screen. I turned down the texture memory to 8MB and turned off the 32 bit rendering. The test still shows 8 fps and the game is still choppy in fullscreen mode. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

jsh

anybody had issues with the video test not even seeing that glide was there? I still just get the two original options for some reason on win7...i miss my wrapper...

So, it seems people don't have the same issues as i do, but for my machine that is now on 32bit win7 pro (32 bit, sad i know) i found a few things out

hu doesn't want to run the batch file unless in C:/Dfolder (rather than program files), and glide wrapper doesn't want to initialize unless it IS under program files...luckily i have vanilla installed there.

Figured that i would post this in case somebody else has similar issues.

Huh??
Reason you can't run d2mod from program files is on win7 this folder is heavily guarder(admin rights and stuff) BUT glide wrapper its kinda odd as any application first check for dll in root folder then in system folder. IE if you put modified dsound.dll(99% of games/software overall use it) into root folder it will be used instead of right one from system's one.
That's how every wrapper is made... man in the middle in dll and alter it.

Works like a charm! Many thanks!

I cant seem to find the d2vidtst.exe in the diablo 2 folder, any solution to this?

Heres the one from my folder

thanks, so i just paste that data folder into the diablo 2 folder or what?

paste it it your HU folder (or wharever) and just run it, it'll make your screen flash a few times while it's checking the display then you pick what display you want.

Ps. new version of D2SE does all this automatically and you just mark the box for the display you want

But how am i supposed to "run it" its just a data folder with a bunch of files in it.?

arg wrong link..... this would be much easier with attatchments

any solution for this?

no idea, my glide is setup through d2se (automatic). For the windowed mode you need to change the windowed option in the glide config.

How much of a difference does this make in the known lag heavy areas? Places/bosses like tundra, Moloch, Glasya, etc. I never lag much outside of a few specific areas so I'm curious if this is worth doing for those problem spots.

Sticky this please... this fixed so much problems i have months trying to fix... some video cards and screen resolution have serious issues with D2.

Wierd. I can get it running without Hell Unleash installed, with HU the game crashes on start up as long as D2Mod is enabled. If I un-install d2mod it works :/

i'd be interested to know also!

Well for some reason I can get Glide working fine without D2Mod installed and vice versa. Try having them both enabled and I get "Diablo 2 has stopped working" instantly when I try I start it.

What's your install dir of d2? if program files then move it outside of it. Try running glide-init and unselect everything in extensions... also try to change overall graphic setup in either nvidia/Catalyst panel. I've had many weird problems with wrong loader, opengl triple buffering enabled (weird colors in game), etc. Try to run d2vidtest again.

What's your graphic card ? What about logs? is there any info about this crash (like trying to load dll but fail)?

-D2 installed Games\Diablo 2
-Tried running D2vistest again
-Nvidia GTX 560 Ti
-Using D2 Loader
-No error at all documented in log

I can get glide working fine on it's own without any issues at if I un-install D2mod systems. As soon as I install D2mod systems Diablo 2 instantly stops working upon start up. As I said with D2mod systems only installed without glide, game works fine; glide installed without D2mod systems also works fine... Together they fail.

Hm weird. 560 is like hd6850 and I have 0 problems with it. Try http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/text ... rsion.html and disable aero(compatibilty tab)completely. Are you getting the error in full mode and -w as well?

try D2SE it pretty much gets rid of any instal issues with glide and mods ingeneral.

Apparently I just needed to reboot. I've been able to get Glide and the D2ExpRes plugin working fine together now. So it's all good now!

Interesting.

I have tried this long time ago but failed. I guess that was because gfx card driver for windows 7 sucks. I searched the internet to see if anyone had the same problem, but it appeared I was the only one that had such kind of issue.

At first I used direct3d, it looked good but the game ran quite slowly. So I always played in windowed mode after that.
Later I found that glide wrapper and gave it a try. Before the loading screen, everything was fine. But when in game, my computer was choked to death, it got less than 1fps I guess that I could barely move my mouse. I couldn't see anything but gray triangles. Esc menu and HUD were displayed correctly I think. I saw it rained in rogue encampment, but beyond that there were only some gray triangles, odd.

*edit*

GeForce 7100 GS

I had the same issue and eventually sorted it by messing around with the diff glide settings.

See This topic also, a few pages are related to glide issues and theres a config file in among there too i think.
