I recently bought Diablo 1 via GoG and wanted to install it on my Dell Latitude for couch sessions. I installed it via Heroic and everything seemed fine, but after the Blizzard splash, the game stays black. Sometimes, when I tab out, some menu texts appear in the tab switcher thumbnail, but thats about it. I fumbled around with the graphics settings in the pre-game settings window (which is really tiny) and tries window mode, different resolutions etc. but nothing changed.

It feels a bit like a “not good enough graphics card” but… well, its Diablo 1…

Is there something I can do, or try, to make D1 playable?

edit: DevilutionX did it amd it was a breeze. Ty all.

    What the hell just happened there? That was some weird breakdown.

    I mean, I guess you didn’t catch the post of the person explaining why Diablo doesn’t work properly (Fedi threading issues, presumably?) but maaaaaan, that’s some off the rails unprompted weirdness.

      Hey I knew I left this up for a good reason! I happened to be the thing your terrified to the core of being. Wrong.

      Strait up, multiple factors that made that appear to be accurate and it wasnt. I was WRONG. But I left it up because I needed i a reminder of how WRONG I was

      Something you might be able to learn from if you apply yourself you take it personally and stalk the shit out of them for hurting you wittle FEELINGs motherfucker. I’d put you down like an animal if you did that to me in RL just remember that.

      Weird is something you can’t stand. But look at you. Look at why you posted this. You are a fucking weirdo of the ages. But perhaps teachable. Because your so invested I have quite some power over you now and I can utilize that (just a reminder I didn’t do that deliberately, you did it on your terms)

      It was a super cool rant, I knew people were going to love it because it IS cool. Wrong as hell but its so cool you looked into it personally. You spent your own time doing what I KNEW would happen as a result of posting that and leaving it up to see clowns like you go through my comment history. Now keep dancing for my amusement you internet monkey.

      Parallels to politics can be drawn here if you want to use your brain for more then just a soggy waffle

      Good luck out tho there, its tough as shit out in reality.

      Get fucked.

      Get better.

      But mostly, get learned bitch.

      Oh and also get less weird 💀
