I've installed D2 on a widescreen laptop, so of course it looks stretched. Is there a way to get it to run ina window?Using XP 64 bit (yes it runs on. Ive gota Diablo 2 DMG installer however it has many various other instalations like CD 1 Diablo 2 insallation that it wants me too insert do i.
I've run into this problem recently with new games not giving an option for windowed mode vs. I'm accustomed to playing a game in windowed mode and being able to chat or watch movies on my other screen. In games where this is not a customizable option does anyone know of a method to force the game to run in windowed mode instead of full screen? There was an earlier thread mentioning holding down cmd key on startup as a fix, unfortunately this doesn't seem to work for many Aspyr games i'm currently playing.
Titles i'm currently battling with: Rise of Nations, Crusader Kings & Fallout 2 to name a few. Cmd + H for aspyr games will take you back to the finder, but the game isn't playable.
UPDATE: Using Wineskin 2.5.5 with WS9 engines works again. Wineskin 2.5.5 can still use the old WS8 engines but they will remain broken. If there is a particular engine you want that's only avaible as a WS8 you will have to bild your own WS9 engine. UPDATE 2: Oops, not every game has been fixed.
Arx Fatalis for example works, Diablo II doesn't Hi everyone There are two games currently that drive me crazy: Arcanum and Arx Fatalis 1.3.36 feems to work well, except when I'm playing fullscreen the screen flickers, but it's fine when press cmd + alt + A to window them. This seems to happen on engines 1.3.29 and higher. Someone tested Arcanum on 1.3.32 and 34 without problems, so I was wondering if this might be due to Wineskin? How do I explain what the flickering looks like? I can't take screenshots in fullscreen and windowed mode is fine. Take an interlaced picture as an example.
You know, I just remembered that this was occuring to me a hell of a lot more than it does nowadays. I bet it's something with Lion and the nVidia drivers. I'm using 10.7.2 I I don't get this problem anymore. I did have an issue with my mbp and I had to download a graphics update that apple sent me. I'll send you the link and you can install this if you want (at your own risk) MBP video update. I think that's what fixed it for me. That or the 10.7.2 update.
Installing an udate that was meant for another machiene. Unwise ^^ Drakulix, on 03 January 2012 - 06:31 PM, said.
No flickering in 1.3.27, but it crashes after the Arkane logo. 1.3.26 and anything below is too slow to be playable. 1.36 would be well playable if not for the flickering. Is the flickering present when DirectDrawRenderer is set to 'opengl' in 1.3.27 or before? Go to Winetricks Settings and run ddr=opengl (Set DirectDrawRenderer to opengl) +-Direct3D +-DirectDrawRenderer Select what backend to use for ddraw.
Valid options are: gdi - Use GDI to draw on the screen opengl - Use OpenGL (default) The 'gdi' option mostly exists for legacy reasons. Aside from bugs in the GL renderer, only change this if you have a setup without OpenGL. Installing a software GL implementation is the preferred solution in that case though. If the flickering is present when DDR=opengl in 1.3.27 or before, then it is a duplicate of my bug i filed a while back:.

Run Diablo 2 Windowed
If you have questions regarding the resolution of this issue, please update your bug report with that information. Please be sure to regularly check new Apple releases for any updates that might affect this issue. I had submitted a bug report since there is no way to vote on bugs or anything. This is probably just an automated message that gets issued if no one touches an issue for long enough.
Diablo 2 Fullscreen Windows 10
It's sad, many games suffer performance-wise when using ddr=gdi, which leads to an annoyingly laggy cursor in the game. Older games are still playable, but newer games like Age of Wonders 2 really suffer, even though they would run perfectly with ddr=opengl. Maybe we have been going at this the wrong way.
Run Diablo 2 Full Screen
Apple won't care about a random nobody, but a commercial company might have a better chance. We should contact Codeweavers instead, Crossover has the same problem and it's a commercial software.
