Diablo 2 + LoD Tutorial

[mulliganl]

hey i was wondering if anyone could help me with my D2 problem.
im using ubuntu 9.04 jaunty
wine 1.1.13
i have D2 installed (not LoD) and the latest patch
it will play the first two videos and then it will go black and i can only hear the music but see nothing. the only thing i can do is press escape to close the window.
if someone could please help me that would be great
thnks

I have a similar problem but with ubuntu 10.04 and wine 1.2. Someone replied to this post to say that he should update wine, but my wine is the latest version.

Basically, I try to run Diablo 2 and the two Blizzard opening videos run fine, but the main menu won't load. There's just a black screen with a hint of the ubuntu tool bars around and I can only hit esc to close everything and go back to the ubuntu desktop.

I've run the video test and it suggested the 3d mode. I've tried both the 3d and 2d video and both have the same result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue; disable compiz (or disable desktop effects) before launching the game. I do this in my script for launching diablo 2. A script like below would work:

#!/bin/bash
metacity --replace &
sleep 1
wine "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo II/Game.exe"
sleep 1
compiz --replace

Haha, anyone in here know the viability of a pure bonemancer with a level 40 bonespear and full synergies in Hell difficulty Act V in singleplayer?

hey im having a problem... i installed diablo through wine... when i put in the LOD disc... the whole cd rom device disappears..... i also cant open the iso for some reason nor the mdf (i downloaded 2 to make sure it wasnt the image...)

like i said the other cds work but when i insert the expansion one the disk drive itself disappears n it doesnt seem to recognize the cd.... Also i cant seem to no-cd patch it without having the lod installed (wrong version, error, etc...)

any help?
