    Greetings Guys.

    This is a Step-By-Step Guide to be able to find out what exactly you should do !!

    [​IMG]
    1ST Step.
    Visit - > THIS Page [ Click Me ] and use the EuropeBattle Launcher or directly download from - > HERE [ Click Me ] !!

    2ND Step.
    2.1 : Unzip the files and copy them into your Diablo 2 Folder !!

    When you are done with the copying, run D2VidTst.exe and once ready, select 3DFX Glide.

    2.2 : Create a shortcut of your Game.exe

    Once placed on your Desktop, Right Click on the Icon ( Game.exe )

    Properties - > Target - > Add those - > -w -3dfx -skiptobnet - >


    TARGET EXAMPLE : X:\EXAMPLE\D2\GAME.EXE -w -3dfx -skiptobnet

    2.3 : Now the only thing left to do is to configurate the Wrapper !

    Start - > glide-init.exe to edit the settings - > Follow Thеse !!

    2.3.1 : Settings

    [​IMG]

    2.3.2
    : Renderer

    [​IMG]

    3RD Step. See the difference !!

    1. Without Glide - Loader.exe / EuropeBattle.exe

    [​IMG]

    2. With Glide !! - Game.exe

    [​IMG]

    Run your Diablo & ENJOY. :)

    4. Additional Information
    GLIDE is a graphiccard-interface that has been evolved by the company "3DFX", to give application-programmers the chance, to access their graphiccard-chipsets (socalled voodoo-chipsets) with high efficiency.
    1.1 : Added : Example ( Colored Green ) PT 2.2

    1.2 : If u want to play ( Widescreen, that fit's on your Desktop resolution )

    You have to disable -3DFX ( Replace -3DFX with -nofixaspect )

    EXAMPLE : X:\EXAMPLE\D2\GAME.EXE -w -nofixaspect -skiptobnet

    5. Windows 10 and Latest Builds
    If you use glide3x and the two errors listed below bother you upon exiting the game on Windows 10, you may download the extra files to run 3D positional audio.
    An exception (C000000D) occurred during DIIEntryPoint or DIIMain in module: C:\Users\Skylake\Games\Diablo II\glide3x.dll
    UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: An invalid parameter was passed to a service or function (c000000d)

    Issue: Diablo II and other older games need extra files (a DLL and its .ini) to run 3D positional audio in conjunction with glide3x.
    Solution: Download the files (dsound) from https://www.indirectsound.com/downloads/IndirectSound_0_20.zip and copy them in your diablo game folder.
    Also, download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) in case you are missing it https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165255E7-1014-4D0A-B094-B6A430A6BFFC/vcredist_x86.exe


    Note: If you are using this fix while multiboxing you will hear all sounds from all your open game instances, instead of just the one in focus.
    A workaround to fix this seems to be achieved by changing hardwareBufferCount = 0 in the d2sound.ini configuration file that comes with the archive.

    IndirectSound emulates audio hardware acceleration on modern Windows operating systems. This enables older games to have 3D positional audio (i.e. surround sound played out of rear and side speakers) like they were intended to when they were originally released.

    Yes, the integrated MH starts with Game.exe :) :)

    Thats why I've made this Guide, since Glide can not run with Loader.exe or EuropeBattle.exe

    For some reason, the registers can not be changed.

    Btw, with Game.exe u can add -nofixaspect and play in Widescreen + Can be used as Loader too !!
    P.S.
    You have to choose between better graphics or pixels, cuz Glide + -nofixaspect = Disaster :) :)

    Let's say that you set resolution 800x600 ( Static Size ) in the Glide settings.

    And u add -nofixaspect to the target line, everything will go to hell when you press maximise.

    The result = graphics are f*****. :) :)

    That's why I said that you can choose between better graphics ( -3DFX ) or pixels ( -nofixaspect )

    For some reason they can not work together

    Did you run vidtst as administrator? Check if your videocard does support that option and see if you can make the change inside of it's control panel.
