Your so lucky you got horadric

[jelco12345]

Im downloading Diablo II+ LOD it works the same with what this is showing?

[Illkvittni]

How exactly do you get your game window to be smaller like that? I can't get mine out of full-screen.

[mushk45]

It was a window in an older version of wine. In 0.9.58 it's fullscreen.

[NickNDX]

@mushk45 i just got ubuntu cause my puter f*cked up. will diablo really be full screen and playable in 800x600 resolution using wine? please let me know!

[mushk45]

@NickNDX Yes it works really well! :)

[HiBitDrifter]

Do "winecfg" and on the graphics tab (I think) choose window checkbox, and size. Maybe spec it for d2 only if you want some stuff fullscreen.

I haven't tried d2 on linux yet. Couldn't get d1 working except under a full VirtualBox.

@Illkvittni For full screen games which don't have windowed support, you can just configure wine to emulate a full screen desktop in a window.. that way full screen games stay in a window. You just have to set the same resolution in both wine configuration and in the game. I noticed if you lack resolutions you can add them as screen modes to Xorg configuration even if you don't really use them as X display modes.

I have done this too, it was pretty easy.... one problem though.

The game runs fine, but if I click on another window, the diablo 2 window will just freeze.... any solutions?

[PhoenixCMXIV]

Easy fix. goto "configure wine" i dont know ther terminal comand. underthat window goto graphics tab, then check "run under virtual desktop" should be fine now

[rapture99]

Thank you for the response - you were right!

Turns out I fixed it just a few days ago though :P

[ihavethefunk]

ah man i miss d2.

[fatino1234]

Battlenet works?

[ihavethefunk]

D U H ! ! ! ! !

[Khenghis]

Now play Crysis or Timeshift :P

[mrbitchezzz]

i have a problem diablo freezes once in a while on here does yours?

[mushk45]

On windows? Which version of diablo? Try to upgrade. Is it the only game that freezes?

[mrbitchezzz]

I have it on wine on linux i have d2 original because lod is scratched

[mrbitchezzz]

No, on linux

[Cormin]

hey man, can you give a brief description how you did this? i really want to get D2 to work on my ubuntu laptop... i know the specs are good enough to play it with

[mushk45]

I had it installed on my window$ machine.

First I had to make sure the cdrom has an assigned drive letter in wine. Run winecfg, goto Drives, and make sure your cdrom is there.

Then all I had to do was type wine Diablo\ II.exe in the game directory ;)

If you don't have D2 installed, you can try running the installer in wine.

If something doesn't work, check your requirements at the d2 wine appdb page.

[dragondarkguy2008]

Hey, how'd you enable the full map? 1.11b? or was it 1.10?

[mushk45]

What do you mean?

If you mean about the fog of war, I've played in that map before, so it's all visible :P

[dragondarkguy2008]

Oh, I thought you used maphack or something similar xD

[personalgao]

Ahhh Linux so much better...

[agmurph]

Duh pal, it even says so in his description. Is wine not linux?

[NuSuey]
