Quoting: nlborlclIf only Apple wasn't so broke they could support OpenGL 4.6.

According to the Steam for Mac discussion board on Steam, Apple apparently can't afford to implement Vulkan either.

So bad... I don't know, maybe they could open a Kickstarter campaign to finance it?! Yeah I Know, it's stupid, they know their fans wouldn't donate enough...

Quoting: Linux_RocksI was sad when the OG game wasn't on sale on GOG during the last sale. I'd have bought it otherwise to try this out. But hopefully it goes on sale again soon.

I saw that the game is on sale again.

That's an impressive "retournement de veste" as we say in French...

Quoting: emphyGog seems to not have the native version according to universim's gog page.

Yeah I was wondering too... Even on gogdb it's not clear if that's the case or not:

The changelog shows the Linux updates, but doesn't list it in the Builds tab but in Downloads one yes...

I have a feeling that we won't have a Linux release for it... But I hope I'll be wrong.

Quoting: CyrilDevilutionX is a gem, I keep hope for something similar for Diablo II, that would be huge!
The good news is that there are a few reimplementations already - just have a look at the list on https://osgameclones.com/diablo-ii/!

The bad news that none of them seems to be very far. If you still want to try: Riiablo probably is the farthest one (at least it was when I tried out all of them ~ one year ago, but my impression when looking at the project pages is that this hasn't changed)

I know very well this site, but unfortunately none of these projects is really active...
Riiablo is the only one with recent commits (less than a year ago), but it's a pitty it's in Java though.
So playing Diablo II on Linux natively it's not for now...

But I keep hope, one day we'll have something great!
VCMI (for Heroes III) was in hiatus for years (nearly 6 years between the 0.99 and 1.0 release), and look at his activity now and how good the project is!
