If you really want you can get stretched 16:9 look with 3rd party tools like ReShade. That's why you have to disable built-in D2DX resmod to run MXL.

Q: How to remove side black bars in a fullscreen mode?Ī: Unfortunately MXL is locked at 1024x768 (4:3), you can't get real widescreen 16:9. I've prepared custom D2DX build that supports window scaling by floating-point number (here is according PR that I used), so you can set any non-integer scaling factor like 1.5. When there is not enough space, D2DX will reduce window size to fit into your screen, but it will leave black borders on sides. Official version supports scaling window only by 2 and 3 times, but even with x2 it might not fit to your screen. Float-point numbers supported only in custom build. Scale=1.5 Window scaling for windowed mode. Nomotionprediction=false If true, will not run the game graphics at high fps. Nocompatmodefix=true Will not block the use of "Windows XP compatibility mode". Noclipcursor=true Will not lock cursor to the game window. Noresmod=true Disables resmod (high resolution mod). If you are using config file, ensure that it has name d2dx.cfg. You can configure D2DX options via config file and command line options (latter has higher priority).
This is enabled by default, but can be disabled with nomotionprediction=true. D2DX has a feature that predicts unit positions between logic updates, resulting in actual high fps rendering. 120fps won't give a smoother experience normally. Internal game logic only ticks at 25 fps. So it may not work at all with D2 versions other than 1.13c. Since you have to run the game directly via shortcut, you are bypassing MXL launcher, which means it will not change your game version to 1.13c which is mandatory to run MXL. You can't run the game via MXL launcher, because launcher can't disable resmod in D2DX. You can't set floating-point scale for windowed mode, this option can only be set in a config file. However this way have some disadvantages: So shortcut target will look like this: "D:\Diablo 2\Game.exe" -3dfx -dxnoresmod. You need to specify -dxnoresmod option to disable resmod. Instead of a config file you can use command line options to configure D2DX. Note: Press ALT-Enter to switch from fullscreen to windowed mode and back. You may want to keep old wrapper's dll as backup option.Ĥ.1 If you use MXL launcher to run the game, go to settings and set "3DFX Glide" video mode.Ĥ.2 If you use shortcut to run the game add -3dfx option to your target (so it will look like this: "D:\Diablo 2\Game.exe" -3dfx).ĥ.

Unpack archive and copy both files ( glide3x.dll and d2dx.cfg) to D2 folder overriding old wrapper dll. Alternatively, you can download latest official version from D2DX releases page (d2dx.zip file) and prepare config file by yourself (see below).ģ. This archive contains config file with disabled resmod and custom build version of D2DX dll that supports floating point scaling for windowed mode.
#Diablo 2 glide wrapper resize windowed install#
Fixes a few window-related glitches in Diablo II itself.īasically to install D2DX you need to put glide3x.dll file into D2 folder, disable resmod (required!) and run the game with Glide video mode.Ģ. Improved fullscreen: instant ALT-TAB and low latency. Seamless windowed/fullscreen switching with (ALT-Enter). Anti-aliasing of specific jagged edges in the game (sprites, walls, some floors).
#Diablo 2 glide wrapper resize windowed mod#
High FPS mod using motion prediction, bypassing the internal 25 fps limit. High quality scaling to fit modern screen sizes, including widescreen aspect ratios (not supported with MXL). Turns the game into a well behaved DirectX 11 title on Windows 10 (also 7, 8 and 8.1).
This wrapper translates Glide API calls directly into DirectX API (for instance - Sven's wrapper uses OpenGL). It supports Median XL including latest 2.0 version. There is a new Glide wrapper for Diablo 2: D2DX.
