I need a break from everything so I'm going to attempt playing #Diablo I or II tonight on #ZorinOS!
Looks like I can't install Battle.net but there is an equivalent "#Lutris" - let's see if that works...
Edit: 2h later, I managed to launch Diablo II (main) and Torment once (a gog game), with some graphics bug and can't figure out how to start them again. The semi-solution that best worked so far was to download their windows installer and then run that in Steam as a "non-steam game" with the compatibility tool Proton.
Edit 2: after looking at this tutorial I understood that 1) every game installed this way in Steam is within its own little environment, some kind of sandboxing? that replicates the structure of Windows and 2) once I've installed the game as a non-steam game I need to update the path in the game properties to where the game launcher actually is.
problem is because of the sandboxing, I can't install Diablo II LOD extension because it needs to recognise the already -installed DII.. unsure how to fix that
otherwise it seems to be working except that I get scintillating bands in all the games I've installed this way.. yes it's probably a problem of NVIDIA drivers 😓
