Problems with Diablo 1 via GoG (discuss.tchncs.de)

I recently bought Diablo 1 via GoG and wanted to install it on my Dell Latitude for couch sessions. I installed it via Heroic and everything seemed fine, but after the Blizzard splash, the game stays black. Sometimes, when I tab out, some menu texts appear in the tab switcher thumbnail, but thats about it. I fumbled around with the graphics settings in the pre-game settings window (which is really tiny) and tries window mode, different resolutions etc. but nothing changed.

It feels a bit like a "not good enough graphics card" but... well, its Diablo 1...

Is there something I can do, or try, to make D1 playable?

Are you using bnet version or the enhanced version? Direct draw on bnet version rough and you need dx on the enhanced version. Also if you take the mpq you can just use the sourceport https://github.com/diasurgical/DevilutionX
