#Glide Wut ?
After much testing here is what I found:
- Glide Wrapper upscales graphics so you can have sharper graphics in FULLSCREEN mode.
- If you play in windowed mode like I do, and resize the window to exactly 1600x1200 (2x) then Glide wrapper's "super sampling" DOES NOTHING. It keeps the graphics sharp, yes, but so does Autohotkey by simply resizing the window when the game runs in software mode.
- Unfortunately Glide does not upscale 4x, so at 1600x1200 (2x), there is no smoothing, just the sharp pixellated aspect.
TLDR
- Glide wrapper is only useful for fullscreen, or if you'd like to use Perspective Mode in windowed.
- In windowed mode, Glide wrapper can enable coloured lighting but it is very hard to see a difference in vanilla Diablo 2
My setup:
- Diablo II shortcut icon: -sndbkg -w (-skiptobnet if playing on BattleNet)
- Use the Autohotkey script to get super crisp graphics at 1600x1200
- Don't need Glide Wrapper
- Don't set compatiblity mode in Windows 7 x64
It is actually slightly better than Glide wrapper, because with Glide, the window keeps changing size and also it does some weird glitch in the top left of the desktop. With Autohotkey window resize, there is no glitch, and once you use the hotkey to resize the window, it stays that way until you close the game. It also removes the ugly window frame. AND it doesn't switch off Aero when I run the game.
