Hello,

http://i68.tinypic.com/2dv1uok.jpg


I figured out how to make glide "working" on patch 1.14a.

Add : -3dfx in target (where you usualy put -w for window mode).

The game will load glide.

It will fix :
- You can adjust again brightness, gamma, constrast in full screen
- vsync is disabled - you can play with full fps (no lags, freeze etc).
- the /fps cmd is working again on full screen

You must run the game with windows XP compatibility else you can't take screenshot :mellow:
Ok, now the worst thing ever: With that patch and glide, you can't see your cursor in Menu, Channel (at least for me) ........... which is extremly annoying. Couldn't find a solution for this one.
But it works fine ingame.

Better than nothing.

Regards

DHA

Found a solution to navigate menu without the cusor.

"go into your mouse settings and turn on that cursor feature that highlights your cursor when you hit ctrl. thats how i'm navigating the menus"

This work pretty well.

Each time you press ctrl a circle showing where is the cursor.

so wasnt this patch supposed to fix compatibility? Im confused.

I wanna run glide now, cause the graphics are just sharper, better contrast. (others options (2ddraw, 3d) are a bit fluffy/iffy since patch).
First, i restored and run vidtest, chose 3dfx, it seemingly ignored it. it didnt say glide in game after /fps.
so i added -3dfx, and then it seems to run with glide. But ofcourse, alot of weird error, like the full screen being akwardly placed (only see 1/4 of screen, etc) so I flipped around in the compatibility settings abit, and got as far as it looking awesome.
But ofcourse: the pointer dissapeared :rofl:

I never used glide wrapper(s).
Should I really need to? after all they patched the game so that glide 3dfx, directdraw 2d, direct 3d all should work? lol?
Or the patch removed Videotest.exe to force everyone to use a modern OS compatible setting?

I use windows 7.



ALSO WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, since a year I've felt my mouse pointer in pvp is "slippery" or "delayed". it was not in my head but caused by other graphics than 3dfx glide?!
LOL I'm actually a pvp god, since i managed to play with this :rofl:




edit2:
rofl cant play 3dfx glide with window mode? it launches in full mode eventhough shortcut has -w and -3dfx? xD?

with direct3d (we are forced to use it now) vsync is enabled and you are stuck to 60 fps : mouse is delayed and slow. You got fps drops, freezes etc.

With directdraw (doesnt work for me sadly) it's fine, you run full fps and vsync is disabled, game is fine. I used this w/o prob on my old comp.

With glide its direct3D with max fps and vsync disabled : no delayed cursor etc.

In video test you could choose between the three options.

But hey blizzard deleted VideoTest, let's play direct3D ! :thumbsup:

not for me :-/
its ridiculous anyway, why shudnt we be able to choose graphix?
I restored vidtest and ran it, but choosing 3dfx glide doesnt do nothing. only with the -3dfx affix it works.
but I cant also use -skiptobnet affix, cuz then screen is misplaced :D

hmmm. actually this time when I ran vidtest was first time in long it gave me 3 options. many times it just gives me 2x. (fairly certain glide was the excluded). but that mightve been on my laptop though not my desktop.

It gives the option but glide doesnt work without -3dfx

If you can run directdraw, do it tho.

i can choose it through vid test, but it gets overwritten ofc. great patch.

I do infact have glide wrapper installed, had just forgotten about it. thats why I can run glide :O

oh well, I get glide 3dfx to work with -3dfx, but need a soloution to the pointer dissapearing in menu/chans now.

I can not do it in windows 10 :( crap patch ...

Keep getting the following errors

for videotest:
"This application has encountered a critical error:
The file date is corrupt.
Program: C:\Program Files (x86) Diablo II\D2VidTst.exe
File: d2data.mpq"

for shortcut:
"Error 1: Diablo II is unable to proceed. Unsupported graphics mode."

Anyone with similar problems and knowledge of how to fix it?

Thank you in advance
