• Diablo Immortal on Linux

    I was able to run Diablo Immortal on Linux, despite only being available on iOS, Android, and Windows. I know for a fact that I needed Wine to be able to run a Windows environment or application in Linux. But, I just found out you need to install Lutris too.

    For future reference, the steps are below. I am on Fedora.

    1. Install Wine
    1
    
    sudo dnf install wine
    
    1. Install Lutris
    1
    
    sudo dnf install lutris
    

    If Lutris won’t start, try installing it via Flatpak.

    1. Install Winetricks
    1
    
    sudo dnf install winetricks
    
    1. Visit this Lutris Battle.net link and click on Install. It should display a dialog and click on continue. And just proceed and follow instructions.
    2. It took some time to figure out the perfect settings to run Battle.net, I was able to get a reference from this Reddit post. The settings that worked for me were, check the image below. Take note of the Wine version and the settings below it.
    • Latest Lutris Proton runner
    • DXVK Version 1.10L
    • VKD3D Version 2.6
    • D3D Extras Version 2
    • DXVK NVAPI Version 0.5.3

    And after all that, Battle.net should run after signing in.

  • Diablo Immortal

    My wife and I started playing Diablo Immortal yesterday and I’m so happy she’s enjoying it. I played my usual barbarian character while she played the wizard.

    I love how the graphics are so much improved and the storyline is solid same as the previous Diablo II PC game.

    I told my brother about the game because he was the one who introduced me to this game when we were just kids.

  • The Curse of Monkey Island Game Revisit

    Since the upcoming return of the game franchise, Monkey Island was everywhere on the gaming news. I’m not into games anymore, but I followed Ron Gilbert lately and I was frustrated by the backlash he was receiving.

    I think the animation is cool! Can’t wait to play it.

    I played The Curse of Monkey Island when I was in grade school. And it was my favorite game. I am now playing it again. I bought it on Steam for around 75 Philippine pesos or less than $2.

    I’m going to try to finish this game in a month, so I can play the next sequel.
