Diablo2 - Lord of Destruction has been updated to 1.14b and cannot run.

Post by drcho805 »

Hello, I am playing Diablo2 - Lord of Destruction via nGlide.

Yesterday, I installed Diablo2 1.14b patch and it cannot be run.

I could play diablo2 before installing the patch clearly.

How can I do about this problem?

Lastly, I am using Windows 7. Please let me know the solution if you could solve it.

Thank you.

Yep, same here. Diablo2 1.14b patch installed and no more glide for me. :< I'm using W10.

What's odd, is that Swenwrapper works with 1.14b. But I would have nGlide working - support for many more games... ;)

edit: I tried with -3dfx in my shortcut, but then it shows:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Diablo II Error
---------------------------
Error 1: Diablo II is unable to proceed. Unsupported graphics mode.
---------------------------
OK 
---------------------------
edit2: hm, it's also doesn't work with patch 1.14a too...

Glide API support has been removed in 1.14b (2016 patch), so the only option to play it with glide wrappers is to revert back to 1.13c (or older).

It is somehow possible. I had only to make a shortcut to exe with -3dfx command line. And put glide3x.dll to game catalog and c:\windows\system. Below are screens done on glide emulation (1.14b).

Maybe it's have something to do with these glide3x files?

Ok, I have some news.

Blizzard didn't remove Glide API support in 1.14. They made a bad mistake in new Glide code and as a result killed every glide wrapper except one they tested, Sven's wrapper. :roll:

I submitted a bug in their forums:
http://us.battle.net/en/forum/topic/20742849642

I encourage you to show your support for nGlide there as I have weird impression Blizzard doesn't even realize there are other glide wrappers on the planet.
