Diablo 2 doesn't run smoothly (Diablo 2)
Put Diablo 2 on a modern PC with Win 10.When you move the cursor in the main menu, it does not go smoothly, but when the hero moves, it still goes with some jerks.
How to fix it?
Install Win 7 with desktop window manager enabled (transparency can be disabled).

very cool find wines xp sp3 zver cd edition, install it with the second Windows and run it cleanly when you need d2 (or other fossil igruhi like Starcraft Brood War) and everything goes like clockwork without any hemorrhoids, although launching-restarting under different Windows can steam up quickly, but if you get used to it, it is a perfectly acceptable option
modern PC
running Win 10 It's funny how everyone thinks that ancient igoris on new PCs and OS will produce 9999 fps. Put Win98, lol, and nothing will slow down.

you read my thoughts)), but I did not begin to translate the conversation into this plane, they may not understand that not everything that is new can be better.

It's funny that TC did not write anything about millions of fps. And some apparently believe that the brakes of the ancient Igor on new PCs and OSs are normal.

try to switch the video modes, in directdraw or in the window punch.
if not, then you can try GLIDE3-to-OpenGL Wrapper, it seems to be on pg somewhere, something similar.

And how to start in the window? I did not find the mode in the settings ...
In the window for 10 wines, the FPS will still be dropped. Put the playground client so it's better with FPS business.

Make a batch file and don't worry about prescribing.
I have it like this:
Spoiler @ echo off
rem Use window mode Diablo 2 multilauncher
rem batch by Gradus
@title Diablo 2 LOD window mode runner
cls
echo Diablo 2 LOD batchlauncher by gradus v 1.0
echo Type:
echo 1 - Windowed
echo 2 - Fullscreen
echo 3 - D2 2.1
set / pq =
if `% q%` == `1` d2m.exe -w if`
% q% `==` 2` d2m.exe
if `% q%` == `3`" Diablo II.exe "-w -altcolor -multiwin -orbtext -nohide -nopickup -res800

Older games are optimized for older processors and video cards, as obvious as it sounds. Therefore, if Dibla is optimized for the second stump, then it will "fly" on it, and not on the i7 overclocked to 4.5 GHz. And the same tenth Windows is intended just the same for modern pieces of iron. That's all for a short time.

Old games are optimized for old processors and video cards
. Better - also a question.More precisely, the game will reach a frame rate sufficient for comfortable perception, and whether there is at least five hundred or freezing a hundred frames, the difference will no longer be noticeable.
Obviously, the performance of the overclocked seventh crusts is more than enough for the old game. The problem most likely arises in the software layer, which translates the drawing commands of the game into a language that is understandable for the vidyuhe / cpu. Libraries that implement the procedures and functions of such a layer are constantly being updated. Roughly speaking, diabla asks the iron to squeeze out a drawing on a clay tablet with a wedge, and graduates sit in modern pieces of iron, projecting picturesque pictures onto some super-duper-nano-fiber with the power of their thoughts. As a result, these unfortunate high-tech engineers clog the wedges with microscopes, and, naturally, a lot can go wrong here. Of course, in laboratory conditions, everything should work out for them, because no one seems to have canceled backward compatibility. But in practice, you can see for yourself what sometimes happens.

"for it seems nobody canceled backward compatibility"
Canceled, starting with Vista. XP still sawed itself for compatibility with the old software (even taking into account its glitchiness), in the new OS line all the old rubbish is allowed on integrated virtual machines. And there are still problems with integration.

XP was still sawing for compatibility with old software,
so I wrote that the xp sp3 zver cd edition wines are the most optimal from old Windows for a new pity, I have it specially for d2)
Archon Guard
Under D2 I have it on VirtualBox oraklovsky. The second system does not pull, the virtual machine is more convenient.
The beast is optimal ???? The very assembly with a kilometer of unnecessary nonsense. Episcop_moo
Good comparison, but a little wrong. The current generation of cards is geared towards working with 3D. Let's just say. Diablo 2 is too tough. While 3d progressed, 2d stood still. While new 2d games use the same functions as 3d games.
