Diablo II

• BEST GUIDE ever: http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/diablo-ii-expansion-guide.217/
  • Tested, works like a charm. Migth need to do the trick below to ease CD swapping between Diablo 2 and LOD install.

PlayOnLinux - Install Diablo II on U14.04

• Select full install (1550MB)
• After entering cd 3 (CINEMATICS), install ask to install back the 1st cd rom.

However PlayOnLinux script does not propose to mount that cdrom.

Inserting cd 1 and clicking next has no effect.

There is an easy way out however.

• Eject CD 3 (via CD icon, not manually), then insert cd 1. Then in a console:

cd /media/$USER
sudo ln -sf INSTALL CINEMATIC
sudo ln -sf INSTALL CINEMATICS

Then click next in D2 installer.

• For full screen play:
  • Disable virtual desktop in wine configuration
  • Use metacity instead of compiz:

metacity --replace&
