New Feature – Legacy Graphics Emulation
A standout feature of this patch is the introduction of a third visual style for Diablo II Resurrected. In addition to Legacy and Resurrected themes, we can now select ‘Glide’. It is a mode that uses hardware acceleration and bilinear filtering to recreate the original images in a more realistic manner.
-
- ‘GDI’ emulates the software rasterization of the original legacy game and does not apply any filtering
- ‘Glide’ emulates the hardware-accelerated backend of the original legacy game with bilinear filtering
- ‘Resurrected’ uses the Glide emulation with additional fixes in place to address an artifact that would occur with the original Glide rendering
