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 using the original Diablo II with no expansion packs on fedora core 9 with wine 1.0 thanks -Jeff
Hello Jeffayle, I'm a Diablo II player and I can confirm you it works fine ! The white letters changing on a black background is normal. So, to help you, we need more information. - What is your graphic card ? - can you post a log of wine ? Start Diablo 2 as follow: * in a console, go to the diablo 2 folder (cd "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo II") * and launch it (wine game.exe 2>&1 | tee diablo.log) After it crash, post your log file "diablo.log" which is located in the "Diablo II" folder. Best regards Francesco PS : maybe it will be a good idea to open a bug in bugzilla for your problem.
I just selected the 2d setting from the video settings instead of the (I think directdraw) 3d, which was suggested The only problem I'm having now is that my linux cursor is still visible, but wont move. I don't really mind it though, so it's all good :)
