d2dx 0.99.529.zip 3dfx wrapper

# D2DX D2DX is a Glide-wrapper and mod that makes the classic Diablo II/LoD run well on modern PCs, while honoring the original look and feel of the game. Play in a window or in fullscreen, glitch-free, with or without enhancements like widescreen, true high framerate and anti-aliasing. Version 0.99.529 **WANT TO HELP OUT?** Take the one-question game version poll: https://strawpoll.com/w4y72p4f6 ## Features - Turns the game into a well behaved DirectX 11 title on Windows 10 (also 7, 8 and 8.1). - High quality scaling to fit modern screen sizes, including widescreen aspect ratios. - High FPS mod using motion prediction, bypassing the internal 25 fps limit. Play at 60 fps and higher! - Anti-aliasing of specific jagged edges in the game (sprites, walls, some floors). - Seamless windowed/fullscreen switching with (ALT-Enter). - Improved fullscreen: instant ALT-TAB and low latency. - Improved windowed mode. - Proper gamma/contrast. - Fixes a few window-related glitches in Diablo II itself. ## Upcoming - Suggestions welcome! ## Requirements - Diablo 2: LoD (see Compatibility section below). - Windows 7 SP1 and above (10 recommended for latency improvements). - A CPU with SSE2 support. - Integrated graphics or discrete GPU with DirectX 10.1 support. ## Compatibility Game versions supported: - All features: 1.09d, 1.13c, 1.13d and 1.14d. - Without resolution switching: 1.10f, 1.12. - Other versions are unsupported, will display a warning at startup and exhibit glitches. D2DX has been tested working with the following mods: - MedianXL (1024x768) - PlugY - D2ModMaker ## Documentation This readme contains basic information to get you started. See the [D2DX wiki](https://github.com/bolrog/d2dx/wiki/) for more documentation. ## Installation Copy the included "glide3x.dll" into your Diablo II folder. Note that in some cases you may have to also download and install the Visual C++ runtime library from Microsoft: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe ## Usage To start the game with D2DX enabled, just provide -3dfx, e.g. ``` Game.exe -3dfx ``` Windowed/fullscreen mode can be switched at any time by pressing ALT-Enter. The normal -w command-line option works too. Many of the default settings of D2DX can be changed. For a full list of command-line options and how to use a configuration file, see the [wiki](https://github.com/bolrog/d2dx/wiki/). ## Troubleshooting ### I get a message box saying "Diablo II is unable to proceed. Unsupported graphics mode." You are running the download version of Diablo II from blizzard.com. This can be modified to work with D2DX (Wiki page about this to come). ### It's ugly/slow/buggy. Let me know by filing an issue! I'd like to keep improving D2DX (within the scope of the project). ## Credits Main development/maintenance: bolrog Patch contributions: Xenthalon The research of many people in the Diablo II community over twenty years made this project possible.

(Known issue: char select screen animates too fast) - Add experimental "sleep fix" to reduce microstutter in-game. Can be enabled with -dxtestsleepfix. Let me know if you notice any improvements to overall smoothness in-game, or any problems! ### 0.99.518b - Fix size of window being larger than desktop area with -dxscaleN. ### 0.99.517 - Fix in-game state detection, causing DX logo to show in-game and other issues. ### 0.99.516 - High FPS (motion prediction) is now default enabled on supported game versions (1.12, 1.13c, 1.13d and 1.14d). - Fix crash when trying to host TCP/IP game. ### 0.99.512c - Add "frameless" window option in cfg file, for hiding the window frame. - Fix corrupt graphics in low lighting detail mode. - Fix corrupt graphics in perspective mode. - Fix distorted automap cross. - Fix mouse sometimes getting stuck on the edge of the screen when setting a custom resolution in the cfg file. ### 0.99.511 - Change resolution mod from D2HD to the newer SGD2FreeRes (both by Mir Drualga).
