Diablo 2 wine problem

[strycx]

when i try to load it through wine it says

UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:
ACCESS_VIOLATION (c000005)

I still had the cds from a long time ago, so i didnt download it, but i suppose i could try to find the gecko engine to see if that helps. any further information would be greatly appreciated.

use a nocd?

The latest Diablo II patch lets you play the game without the CD. Install the latest patch, and set WINE to run in a virtual desktop. That should at least get it working.

I never bother with the video mode tests. Not being in a true Windows environment causes them to be confused anyway.

Try using a more up-to-date version of WINE. The "stable" version is missing a ton of patches/upgrades that are in the "development" version.

Are you running in a virtual desktop? If not, are you running dual monitors per chance?

[nonewmsgs]

i have tried virtual desktop to give it a 800x600 mode and no not dual moniters.

i'm updating my wine and i'll let you know soon.

cheers

ok still no love :(
i tried enabling and disabling virtual desktop and nothing.

what do you mean nothing? you run it and nothings happens, no output?

I wish I could be of more help. Try studying WINE's Diablo II information page:

i get this

when i try to load it through wine it says

UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:

c000005, thats a DIABLO error, not WINE. I also had this under Windows. Try reinstalling the game, that should fix it :)
