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.
Try lutris, it works really well for this
Probably just needs an extra DLL file or a patch of somekind but lutris has community driven install-sets that take different situations and provides solutions/instructions. Its often enough that its almost impossible it doesn’t have this in spades for D1
Go have fun it’s a good time generator and good luck 😎👍
