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.
