Now, this is not my problem, but a friend who would like to play, and keeps getting a strange error I never seen, nor know how to fix. It gives him an error after vid test saying no play options available, aka no 2d/3d. It also will not load d2. Note its approx 07-08 computer with vista, anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem? It would be nice to get him setup and playing. |

Never heard about that error, I'm playing on a vista x64 system without any major issues now (except for massive lag everytime I enter a game on fullscreen for 0,5-1 min or so). |

For those with lag issues, and even those without, you should use a glide wrapper. This is the one I have had the best results with. http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/downloads.html I am running vista 64 bit, with no issues whatsoever, 200fps on a crap card. |

Tried that wrapper a while ago and couldn't get it to work though. |

Can't get it to work, getting "Setpixelformat failed!". Might be my graphics card maybe? GeForce 9650M GT 1gb. |

I will peck around to see what I can find on that issue Utter. I don't know German, but this looks like your error Konnte kein vernunftiges Pixelformat finden! Here is a response the message only tells, that Windows doesn't report a useful video-mode for OpenGL-graphics. I would recommend to take a look at your graphic-card drivers, or at least to tell, what hardware you use and what drivers. Not truly helpful, but at least sheds a tad of light on the issue. |
