• 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
