SP only - doesn't work for multiplayer yet, but hopefully they'll fix it (it's on GitHub issues)

I believe it should work even if you have no video drivers installed, for example

I've extracted the files from the latest release from GitHub both into Median XL folder and D2LoD folder, and it won't work properly, or, to be more precise, it won't show the settings window by Ctrl+O as the guideline of "Config" section implies it should (and as it does in PD2), although 3DFX Glide is selected for Video Mode in launcher settings, and windowded mode is unchecked as Config also implies. Meanwhile, issues branch of GitHub has Median XL compatibility thread and within there is a screenshot of someone who succesfully enabled the settings window within the game, so I am clearly the one doing something wrong here. Any ideas on how to properly install it into the game step by step for a dummy, pretty please?

It worked fine in ddraw mode for me, config menu also was present, on glide it just crashed on start up, but i didn't dig into that for too long

Can't get it to work. Any tips? Installation is pretty vague on github

Copied into installation folder and set median xl to 3dfx glide...but when it loads I get stuck at this opening cinematic repeating over and over

if I press esc the game closes

it doesn't work in 3dfx mode, only in ddraw mode(direct 2d)

But in the installation instructions it says NOT to copy ddraw.dll over to the game folder because the game no longer uses software rendering.

so...no ddraw

Plus when I try Ddraw anyways, d2gl doesnt work. No high fps and no menu access. Just doesn't work.

How did you get it to work?
