PostPosted: Tue Oct 01, 2002 7:40 pm    Post subject: Diablo 2 LOD question Reply with quote

I i finally got winex setup correctly and I install Diablo2 and the LOD pack.

I patched to the latest version 1.09d.

Now I can start the game and I choose battle.net but I got that it can't find the version i'm running so I can log into battle.net.

I look at the wine app db and it look like i'm not the only one with that problem but since there is no one over there that find a way to fix that i think I should ask here.

what exactly bnet look at to find the proper version??? registry ?

1. you must have a valid serial -key
2. your .exe must be the real exe (not a crack, use a script if you need the crack to exchange it)

this is the script i use, you will have to modify it for your setup - and it works fine:

#!/bin/sh
cd ~/games/Diablo\ II/
mv -f Game.exe Game1.exe
mv -f Game_nocd.exe Game.exe
winex "Game.exe" &
sleep 1
mv -f Game.exe Game_nocd.exe
mv -f Game1.exe Game.exe

I preferred to do it like this:

there are two .exe, original.exe and crack.exe

cp crack.exe game.exe
wine game.exe &
sleep 5
cp original.exe game.exe

shorter, and no danger of loosing a file (happened to me with your script, dunno how)

I agree with you ... look at wine apps db there is some ressource. When bushman told that we need to exchange the exe and I remember seeing the post on wine apps db.

But still its good to see some exemple I had a darn hard time with winex but finaly ;)

no more reboot in xp for playing my games.
