So it's very pleasing to me that the game is very easily playable in Linux using WINE and generally from what I've known the game has needed little to no modification to run properly in WINE. While not exactly Linux related (the game itself has never had a Linux port), I've sunk countless hours into the game in years past. Old or not though, Diablo II is undoubtedly one of my favourite games of all time. And this is a game from 2001 we're talking about! Yes, that's right, unless you run Diablo II in fullscreen, the cinematics won't work for some reason! I'm fairly sure this happens even on Windows if the game is in windowed mode, so while it's a curious side effect, it is what it is. However, if you're like me and experience a few glitches and washed out colours in the standard fullscreen mode, you have two options: run the game in windowed mode and go without cinematics, or install a GLIDE-OpenGL wrapper and get the game running properly in its fullscreen glory again, without the glitches and colour problems. Diablo II is usually a breeze to run on Linux, thanks to WINE and so often times you need no special tricks.
