for Wine set ColorFix = 0 in the config file ( edits an internal ddraw struct ... defined by a wine header ) Nothing here will help get Diablo 1 running in Wine The only patch that might be of interest for Wine is the RedundantFlip.

you actually want to increase the ddraw\d3d hardware acceleration slider cause vysnc fails/ignored if ddraw is in hardware emulation mode it doesn't seems to be a just a vsync problem because I faked ddraw vsync at 100ms and the game still runs too fast in parts the demo seems to be using …
