devilution VS gamemode

Reverse engineered from some partial leaks: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution#introduction

Diablo 1 https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution

Devilution is a reversed-engineered recreation of the Blizzard's Diablo engine. Still need the original game, and optionally Hellfire, for maps and assets.

For Diablo you might be interested to learn about https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution - and, if you like both Icewind Dale and Diablo, you might be interested in the in-between game that is Nox by Westwood, which is also native on Linux thanks to https://github.com/noxworld-dev/opennox

> Now imagine the code base of original Diablo.

No need to imagine! https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution

This is >99% binary exact when compiling with the original toolchain.

This github issue is continually adding to that list:

Making games is hard. Code is never going to be perfect and you could always contrive corner-case scenarios that break your design at any given point. For some perspective, Diablo 1 declared all the items and spells in a giant array. Do what ships the game.

Super Mario 64 and Diablo come to mind.

According to the GitHub page:

A performance optimiser, GameMode by Feral Interactive. It’s not required for anything to launch (unless maybe you’ve configured something to run via gamemoderun and GameMode isn’t actually installed on your system!)

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. Just create a file called gamemode.ini in $HOME/.config/, and copy inside this.

Thinking about running "gamemode" https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode.

oh, you're referring to gamemoderun.

The ArchWiki has some tips that can help tuning your system to squeeze more performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/gaming

This launcher does help too: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode

On top of that, you can use a patched kernel like: https://xanmod.org/

You can check support status for games here: https://www.protondb.com/

If you run games via Proton with DXVK, you can use the environment variable DXVK_HUD=1 to show a HUD with an FPS meter. Some others prefer mangohud.

Setting your CPU frequency scaling governor and GPU to performance mode also helps.

Here's a link, looks like they are indeed working on it: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/pull/416

Didn't include your OS but if you are on Ubuntu people reported before missing some 32-bit libraries as seen here https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/254
