that may be so but i also like to get things working properly not only for me but others. I can still play d2 res on plain wine in its own prefix or on win10 vm, or on slackware-current
flawlessly if i want, lol.

I'm interested to know why you seem to think that conty.sh can't "get things working properly?"

What's so different about the result you get?

I never said conty.sh couldn't get things working properly, merely that "i also like to get things working properly not only for me but others". It's nothing personal but i would like
to get slackware to do it with the right libraries and also i am already using lutris which up until recently has been doing great. Probably lutris updated its runtime librarys which would explain
why it runs flawlessly on slackware current. Perhaps slackwares' next release (like that comes very often) will correct the problem and until then we do what we can with what we have which tends
to quite stable as a result of not using rolling releases.

Among other things, Conty has Lutris built in.

I'll stop now. Peace, friend.

More or less, there's a possibility it might happen, but you trust it will not happen again.
With a separate build machine, virtual or otherwise, possibility is not there and you know it will not happen again.

My mistake, I've just run diff on the two slackbuilds. It was in there already and yes I did comment out gcc12 patch. I'm at a loss to offer anything further. Sorry.

well it looks like installing the vulkan sdk 1.3 in slackware 15 is the best solution to the problem. Running slackware current works but it still has problems so i would
wait for a newer more stable release for it to be a solution to getting vulkan 1.3 to be able to run diablo II resurrected on lutris. And no you do not need 32 bit vulkan
to run it. Yes you can run d2 res directly on wine but i had graphics problems that were more easily solved using lutris and dlss.
