Issue I'm having with it is, it takes several minutes for it to launch. I'm doing it with beta client so it works, just when i run diablo.exe or game.exe, it apprars in task manager, but not on taskbar, can't alt+tab to it or force it on screen in any way. I wait for about 3 minutes, doing something else and then game appears on the screen, either windowed or full screen, depending on config, everything runs fine, gamma settings work.
But every time it takes minutes for game to appear on screen, any ideas what is causing it?

i listed 3 of my favor shaders : interpolation/cubic ( i like this most) , windowed/lanczos2, xbrz/freescale.gls

you can change shader by replace the name
shader=Shaders\interpolation\cubic.glsl

won't work before 2.0 version (although you can manage to run it).

one important thing for the guide is that there needs to be no -w parameter, windowed mode is handled by cnc.


I forget the specific error I got, ill have to see again when I am home.

I don't believe I ever added any parameters for windowed mode and the likes, is that standard with the install or something that I would have had to add myself?

Maybe not being 2.0 yet was the issue, it took about 5 mins for the game to pop up and all I got was a black screen and a bunch of the same error popups over and over until I force closed the game.

From what I found, it could have to do with windows themes, if you messed with some custom theme tweaks.
Resetting everything to absolute default could help.
