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?

edit: DevilutionX did it amd it was a breeze. Ty all.

Try a source port and see if that helps. They basically take the data from the source game, and run it in a way that is better suited for modern hardware and gaming.
