== Poor performance with hybrid graphics ==
If you have an integrated and dedicated video card (common in laptops) the game may be using the wrong video card. The steps below are for creating an override for the game to force it to use the dedicated video card. If you have an AMD card, the steps should be somewhat similar through the AMD graphics software, you'll just have to find it or google for instructions on the setup.
# Open the Nvidia Control Panel and go into the Manage 3D Settings section
# Click on the Program Settings tab
# Click the Add button and find Diablo II in the list.

##: [[File:NvidiaControlPanelProgramOverride_AddProgram.png|alt=Nvidia Control Panel Add Program|Nvidia Control Panel Add Program]]
##: <br>
# Hover over the program and make sure the path is to Game.exe in the ProjectD2 folder, not the base Diablo II folder or any other location
# If you don't see it in the list, click the Browse button and navigate to Game.exe in the ProjectD2 folder to add it
# Click Add Selected Program
# Change the preferred graphics processor to your dedicated card instead of Auto-Select or Integrated.
# Save the changes.
# You will need to restart the game and sometimes restart your computer
# You can also adjust any performance settings in the control panel for the game, separate from your global settings. You may need to play with various in-game and video card setting to find what works best for you

== Slow mouse movement with D2GL 3dfx graphics enabled ==
# In the advanced in-game settings (CTRL+O) try turning off FXAA and/or the HD Cursor setting.
# As a workaround, if you have more advanced mouse software you can also try creating a profile for the game with a higher DPI setting.
