• If EXAVSync is enabled on the radeon Xorg DDX driver, the Test starts out at 60 FPS and then drops to 30 FPS after a few seconds; I don't believe the FPS drop happens in-game however, but it'd be better to leave EXAVSync disabled (default) unless it's required
• WGL_ARB_render_texture seems to work⁴⁾ but querying OpenGL info causes the extension to not be available. If enabled, it presents a X11DRV_wglBindTexImageARB partial stub fixme in Terminal, but other than that, it seems to work fine and allows supersampling to be enabled under renderer settings which does make D2 look a little bit sharper
• captured mouse enabled is required to prevent the cursor from “going offscreen” on the right-side of the D2 window
• keep desktop composition prevents dwmapi-related stub/fixme errors from appearing; I don't believe it has any actual visible effect either way
• When using Intel UHD 630 graphics, using Iris/Gallum driver and disabling Vsync provides the highest and most-consistent FPS above 144

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Comment=Diablo, the Lord of Terror, has fallen to a brave hero beneath the church of Tristram. Now that hero is gone, replaced by a Dark Wanderer who roams the world of Sanctuary leaving death and destruction in his wake. As a hero of humanity, you must face the minions of Diablo’s evil brothers and stop the Dark Wanderer before he fulfills his terrible destiny. The expansion to Diablo II adds a host of new features to the game, including two new playable classes – the shapeshifting Druid and the cunning Assassin. Explore the snowy homeland of the Barbarians, face fiendish new monsters, and arm yourself with thousands of new weapons, armor, and magical items in the fight against Baal, the last of the Prime Evils.
