Hey, nice to see you doing a guide on this game. It runs really well. I would however suggest getting a much never version of vkd3d-proton. The newest 2.7 release requires newer gpu drivers so it might not be a good choice, depending on your gpu. But with the 2.6 release you get better performance and everything works properly. With that commit you have linked to, the multiplayer lobby does not display other players properly. While the 2.6 release works as it should.

Additionally, if you download the 2.6 release: vkd3d-proton-2.6.tar.zst

You can extract it, and then simply run the provided script to install the dx12 libraries automatically. You just need to ensure to set the path to the wine prefix for the game, and then simply run the script, like this:

Code:

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/prefix ./setup_vkd3d_proton.sh install

If you installed it with PoL, and named it "diablo2" then the prefix path should look like this: WINEPREFIX=/home/<your_username>/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/diablo2

Sorry for late reply, was on a little trip out of the country.

Copying from Steam also works. The github link is where Steam's files come from, so it is the source. I just posted it since it saves you needing to copy the files manually, and you can get newer versions than what is shipped with Steam.

The game itself is also pretty cool. I used to play it back when Diablo 2 was new, and this remake is true to the original while providing so much better graphics. I play it with my wife, although she plays it a lot more than me. She has several characters that are level 90+ loaded with end-game gear.
