Question
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience installing & running Diablo 2 on Linux (Ubuntu 10, latest Wine) using Wine? I tried to install the other day and encountered a problem, but I think that was due to my slightly decrepit cd-rom.
EDIT : The file that it failed on was "d2video.mpq" on the cinematics disc. :(
Answer
I downloaded the Diablo II installer from the Blizzard site and was able to install it under Wine 1.3.15 on Ubuntu 11.04 without issues. If you run into issues while using CDs, don't forget that you can add your game serial number to a Battle.net account and download it.
One annoying issue was holding ctrl would move the window instead of showing all dropped items. I believe you can change this from the winecfg options.
