Summary: Diablo 2 fails to start Product: Wine Version: 0.9.12. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-files AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: simon@simonzone.com
I installed Diablo 2 from CD and ran it. It asked for CD. I gave it the CD and then it crashes. Showing in a wine window an error message (some kind of exception). Running Diablo 2 again (with the CD in the driver) just immediately crashes it, with the same error message.
I then downloaded the 1.11b patch from Blizzard and ran that. The patch ran fine and Diablo 2 now runs.
(I did have some trouble with the sound though, but that has already been reported I believe. It seems to hang with some error message in the console about a "critical section". I'm now using OSS instead of ALSA as a workaround).
I couldn't figure out exactly which version is on my CD. The CD is not an original but a re-released "Best seller series" CD. So it may not in fact be the original Diablo 2 version. I'll add the (pre-patched) directory listing as an attachment.
Jesse Allen has suggested that I also attach the D2Debug.txt file. If you need any more info, I can wipe out my Diablo 2 installation and reinstall the original version and collect debug messages.
