Hi all, I was trying to run Diablo II under WINE, but I receive a "Direct3D failed to initialize" error in a dialog box. The log says this: ***** DirectDraw error: Failed to get gamma control interface! - < unknown > (0x80004002) I tryed to run in both 640x480x16 and 640x480x8, but both give the same error message. I'm using Linux 2.4.1, XFree86 4.0.1 on a GeForce256 DDR

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

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?

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" =

Hi, I installed wine 1.1.1 because it's write that lan game work: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3498&iTestingId=28819&bShowAll=true I install it but, in the diablo game, it say: unable to initialize selected connection method I use ubuntu 10.10, is that the cause of this error? I follow tutorial in the appdb but it change nothing.

Hi, I am trying to compile wine in an AMD64 Ubuntu machine, taking the precautions needed shown in the winehq's wiki to do it. The compilation finishes fine, but for some reason there is no support for some things that used to have in the i386 pre-compiled package. One of them is ALSA sound. I use ALSA because for some reason OSS sometimes ruins the sound making it look like a loud scratch

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.

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'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

now that i got diablo II installed fine (full install) , wine hangs when i try to start the game. i compiled wine with --disable-debug, so i recompiled it without that, but it still wouldn't give me any errors. it just sits there doing nothing short period after starting. anybody had similar problems before, or has an idea of what it happening? thx in advance, totti. -- Sent through GMX

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

I have installed Diablo 1 lately and found Wine can't load the game succesfully. I see a few frames of Blizzard's intro, then it freezes. With Cedega 4.0 it works pretty well> I played for a couple hours then found later I can't load my games back. Ain't that funny? It seems to be a menu problem. Another thing I noticed with Cedega is, multiplayer hangs really quick.

does anybody have an idea how i can get diablo II installed. the problem i have right now is that i am not able to change the cd since (of course) it is mounted. i cant unmount it because it is busy. -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

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'm trying to run Diablo 2 under wine. The game installs fine (D2 + LoD + Patch 1.11b), but I experience some serious performances issues. Wine is set to Windows XP mode (otherwise, the game protection doesn't work). The game is very sluggish when the minimap is open, when setting the key binding, or on battle.net menus. The only choice I got from D2VidTst.exe is DirectDraw HAL.

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

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'm running wine 1.2.2 and used the blizzard installer while downloading everything off of their site for d2 - No expansion yet. I tried to run d2 to make sure its working up to this point before I continue to install lod. I get an error that goes like this: Error 25: A critical error has occurred while initializing Direct3D. I thought wine didn't support direct3D and that was why I was
