ok guys I've gotta diablo to the point where it gets all the way to the player screen, I pick my character and it continues to load, it gets SO close (the monk is almost engulfed in light) until the music stops and it seems to hang here's the interesting stuff in my wine config: [x11drv] ; Number of colors to allocate from the system palette "AllocSystemColors" = "100"

I cant really seem to find a definite answer: there's a bunch of stuff written on the subject, but nothing definite. "I've got it half way working" seems to be all I can find. So, has anyone gotten it working fully? I'd love to be able to run this without having to install windows... that would be a pain having to reformat etc etc etc... thx

Hello, I'm running Diablo 2 under Wine. It runs beautifully, except I get two mouse cursors: the game cursor, and the X cursor. This can get kind of disconcerting sometimes, because they're not always colocated. Any hints? I have DxGrab = Y. -- Soli Deo Gloria -Rob French

When you loose keyboard focus in a game (say, Diablo 2) in wine, I haven't found a way to re-get it. The mouse works fine but the keyboard does not work once you loose the focus (for example by clicking outside the ddraw area). Any solutions ? Also, is there a way to "ALT+TAB" out of wine ? Because I was thinking maybe DXGrab = Y could help this, but it is too dangerous to enable

Everywhere I look people are just saying that Diablo II runs perfectly on wine without any problems. I installed successfully, but when I insert the play disc, my screen resolution changes and in the corner I can see one white letter with a black background that is constantly changing not apparently spelling anything. After a while this stops, and I can't do anything until I restart X. I am

Hello! I've installed Diablo II and then tried to start the game. Even if I start the game from the cdrom, Diablo II complains it couldn't start because of Drive error: Make sure that Diablo II CD-Rom is inserted (this is only my translation) my wine config cdrom part: [Drive M] "Type" = "cdrom" "Path" = "/cdrom" "Label" =

Ok, I do have Diablo II working, mostly. At the moment, it only works under TWM (not fvwm which is what I normally use) and only in -win mode. The problem is that the first time that my mouse leaves the diablo window, diablo iconifies. Not a major issue, I just have to make sure that it's before I start playing. HOWEVER, after it's de-iconified, the keyboard get's somewhat screwy. I

I was reading the notes about using Diablo II under Wine and I noticed that one of the requirements was not to have Wine compiled with gcc 4.0. Is this still the case and if so why would the compiler make a difference? I know I could run with a cracked version of Diablo II, but I would prefer not to.

Hi everyone. I just downloaded Diablo II from the Blizzard homepage, because I've read that it works pretty well with wine. Unfortunately there came out the new Patch 1.13c in march this year and after installing this the game doesn't start anymore. Has anybody an idea how to fix this problem?

Hi, I frequently compile wine from source. Last weekend, diablo II worked fine. Today, after I updated wine to latest head, it isn't playing any sound in the menu. The debug log says: > 10:44:38.280 ........DirectSound progress: 0 buffers available is > less than min needed 16 buffers for 3d sound > 10:44:38.284 ........DirectSound progress: 0 buffers available is > less

I am running Wine 0.9.18 on Ubuntu 6.06. I was able to get Diablo II running very easily, but there are two rather small problems that are bugging me. The first is that the sound is delayed about a second from the events that trigger them. I am actually having this problem outside of Diablo. I am using the ALSA drivers. The other is that while the 'alt' key is held down, mouse clicks

Hello, ive installed successfull diablo 2 LoD within X11 and wine. But now when i try to start lod it says, i need the cd to play. CD is inserted, path in regsitry is exact, mounted it successfull.

I'm relatively new to Linux so bear with me. I've built an Ubuntu machine and have successfully installed Wine and installed Diablo II and its expansion set successfully. I'm able to run Diablo except for one problem: I can't hold down the Alt key and click an object with the mouse at the same time. This is kind of vital in the game otherwise it's difficult to pick up

Yes I can see that this has been covered before, but here we start again. I'm new to wine, and new ish to linux. Have been trying to get Diablo II working for a while now. it starts off and almost straight away it stops, it dosn't exit it just sits there ocasionaly using a bit of cpu time (85% ish) I've left it for a long time (about 4 hours) with no dicernable change in

I have Diablo II working flawless, i installed the expansion but it just locks up when i run it i'm guessing it's something to do with the no-cd crack i'm using, has anyone got this working?

Hi, I am a new user of Ubuntu. I am not familiar with UNIX commands. I try to run Diablo II using Wine. No pb with install, but when I try to run it, it says it can't find the cd in the cd driver. I am not sure for the configuration of Wine. When I type : "grep cdrom /etc/group", i do not get : cdrom::19:jesse, but I get : cdrom:x:24:hal,fran,christian. Moreover, I do not

Hello, I am running Wine 1.0 under Fedora 9 x86_64. The problem is that the two mentioned games use a lot of CPU power about 50 % on a 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. At first I thought this is caused by GDI DirectDraw renderer, but changing to opengl did not help. Also, it is just the same when you configure Diablo to use Direct3D renderer. Does anybody has any idea where can I look for the source of this

I am trying to play Diablo II v1.03 using Wine version 20041201 (the version currently in Debian Unstable). The game installs fine, but when I try to play it, it does not load. Launching it in a terminal window under X, I see that Wine simply hangs - after several minutes of waiting I terminate the program. Running it in debug mode shows a lot of harmless noise, but no errors. I have tried

Hi all, I was trying to run Diablo II under WINE, but I receive a "Direct3D failed to initialize" error in a dialog box.
