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?


I’m glad i suppose but yeah its recommended for people to use because it works so well. Heroic doesn’t help you when it doesn’t work or you don’t know what to do next. I’ve tried it. And this post shows exactly why I stopped using it. Ease of use doesn’t matter if it just strait up doesn’t work on stuff
Edit: And what in the comment/upvote farm bullshit is your account anyway? Go fuck yourselves lol sudden interest in niche Linux software after 300+ upvotes on every post all year. Suddenly posted nonesense here with no upvotes about actual answer bellow when its the only comment and complimented with a generic ass take? That’s sus. So either your pride just suddenly shriveled up and died or there’s something going on here. Taken over by comment LLM? Unlikely considering the post history? Gov bullshit? Probably that. But hell who knows right guy? (actual answer bellow) 🖕💀🖕
Who? What? I don’t see anyone with any 300+ upvote posts, let alone a consistent stream of them. If you’re taking about the account you just responded to, they commented 6 hours ago. There’s 9 other comments that are older than that.
