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.

Hello, I am a french Ubuntu user since a few weeks. So, please excuse my English and my Technical knowledge. I've got a problem when I play games with wine : my computer crashes and reboots.

Let me preface this post by saying I'm very new to Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, wine 1.3.2 and 2 ati 5770 cards in crossfire.

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

Hi, Anyone that might be able to help me get this running for my son, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, at first i have to mention, that i am an freshman in Linux. I am working with it since half a year and still trying to get the basic-knowledge. Nevertheless I've wanted to install Diablo, my favourite game, on Wine. But when I start the setup.exe with the 'Wine-Windows-Emulator' an dchoose the installation-path, only an video-sequence starts, then it returnes to desktop. When I

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.

List, I have been trying to install Diablo 2 using wine with the latest stable. I read the tutorials on it and it seems that I need a file from gamecopyworld.com. I believe the file is called fdxd2019.ace. I am not able to find this file anywhere on that site. Is there a workaround for this, or does someone have a link to this file. Thanks -- Joe Giles jgiles@joeman1.com AOL: mcigiles

As the title mentions, full screen mode does not work with Diablo 2 while using Glide Wrapper, but it does "work" for Direct3D (it's incredibly choppy/laggy though). Another problem: In window mode, it runs very smoothly, but if I happen to click outside of the window, Wine freezes and I have to terminate the program. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and using the latest wine

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" =

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.

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

now i've seen it mentioned a few places that people have gotten Diablo 1 working but i haven't seen any howtos around, what version(s) of wine have any of you got it working with? and could you post your wine.conf for me? thanks, wine's getting better and better everyday (alice runs sweet) also - any info about getting diablo 2 is cool... but i'm in the mood for diablo 1 at

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 All, I can play Diablo 2 in a window (wine Diablo\ II.exe -w) and it plays fine. But when I don't specify the -w option on command line. Diablo will start but the Gnome panels on the top and bottom stay on top and so those panels interfere with my playing of the game. I would like to be able to play full screen as it is a little easier that way.

ok i've got diablo 1 working with a no-windows install of winex, the only prob real prob i'm having is an inability to load saved games (the file exists but when i choose the game at the select character menu i always get a choose new character class whether i'm clicking new character or not... could diablo possibly need a registry entry to detect the file correctly? and if so

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?
