Playing Diablo 2 via Wine

[ravenfrost]

Hey folks,

I'm trying to configure and play Diablo 2 LOD via Wine and I have some issues.

I can start the game in windowed mode and it runs fine, but with 1 px black horizontal stripes all over the screen. I tried to use svens wrapper, which redirects old glide API to OpenGL (as far as I understand it). But when I try to make it detect opengl, it crashes with the following error:

Code: Select all

022c:err:wgl:init_opengl Failed to load libGL: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
022c:err:wgl:init_opengl OpenGL support is disabled.

On the WineHQ page it says, that Diablo 2 LOD runs fine with MX Linux.

From the wrappers manual:

needed (so it may run):
- OpenGL supporting Graphiccard
- same requirements as the game
recommended (so it runs well):
- Graphiccard that supports OpenGL1.3-Extensions
- Graphiccard equal to Geforce256 or better with at least 32MB video-memory
- at least 256MB main-memory
NOT recommended ('cause it might run worse than before):
- any type of graphiccard that uses a shared memory architecture
You can try it nevertheless, but I think it's quite improbable.

I have no idea how I tell wine to use opengl or how to even determine if it is properly installed on my system. Basically, I know opengl is a graphics API, but I have no idea how to interact with it.

I read this wiki but I can't make any sense of it and the links are dead.

I found this in the Linux-MX manual (3.3.2):

Another important driver option is mesa, an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. Users on high-performance machines report that upgrading this brings a significant stabilization to their system.

From the System Quick Info I get:

wine-5.18 (Staging)

Any thoughts?

[JayM]

I think wine needs the 32-bit OpenGL/mesa installed but I don't know how to do that. A forum search may turn up something as I think one of the devs posted instructions a while back.

Edit: found it. viewtopic.php?p=576448#p576448

[ravenfrost]

Thanks!

I tried

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libglx-mesa0:i386 mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

And it installed a bunch of libraries, but still, I get the exact same error when I try to configure the glide wrapper. I also tried starting the game directly, which shows the same horizontal stripes as before.

How do I even know that Wine uses the new libraries?

[zarathustra-f90]

Maybe you should give it a shot and install the game via Lutris or PlayOnLinux which configure wine in their own manner? If none of these help then I would suggest to uninstall everything and install Minigalaxy (found on MX stable and Test repo)...this is another app that uses wine to install GOG games BUT it installs many wine libraries that in my case helped me to install other windows software that prompted with errors my own wine configuration.

Wish I could help more but since I'm not expert it's all i have to offer
