Diablo II Patch 1.12a - Blizzard Sector

**Spitfire** · 06-18-2008, 08:48 AM

Patch 1.12a

Downloadable Installer Support

If all required Diablo 2 '.MPQ' files are installed on the hard drive, the game will no longer require the CD to play.

For users that originally performed a 'Full Installation'and wish to run without the CD, all '.MPQ' files should be copied from the Diablo 2 CDs to the Diablo 2 directory.
Most users will only need to copy D2Music.mpq from the Diablo 2 Play CD and/or D2xMusic.mpq from the Lord of Destruction CD. Mac users will need to copy these music files and rename them to 'Diablo II Music' and 'Diablo II Expansion Music' respectively.

Anyone who did not perform a 'Full Installation' will need to re-install from CD again to ultimately play without the CD.
In this case, a 'Full Installation' is required, followed by file copy step noted above.

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed an incompatibility between Rosetta and OpenGL mode on Intel Mac.

Download:
Expansion: Here
Normal: Here

From Blizzard for users experiencing difficulties:

Once it's done, install the Expansion pack. Once the Expansion pack is installed, go to the Lord of Destruction CD and copy these two files to your Diablo II folder:

d2xvideo.MPQ
d2xmusic.MPQ

Once that's done, run the game and it'll get the patch. You won't need the CD after that.

Some Mac CDs will have the required files in their CD's Support folder. Go there, copy the Diablo II Expansion Music file over to the game folder.

Hopefully they will start to update it more :)

**skidude** · 06-18-2008, 03:30 PM

They need to start patching a lot more

orcdragoon · 06-19-2008, 02:49 PM

the new patch is useless because people with more than one cd-key were already doing this

**Mathalamus** · 06-19-2008, 05:41 PM

but it makes it legit.. i think they just stole D2loader and made it legit.

**Phallock** · 06-20-2008, 12:29 AM

made their own loader, new 'act' or something in Hell, 10 new ruinwords...

**jedimaster86** · 06-20-2008, 03:15 AM

Possible proof they are starting to unsupport the game and move on to another? We'll have to wait and see...

Hmmmm....

Hello there, i stoped to play diablo II 2 +- years ago, at version 1.09.

I am trying to get back now... let me see if i understand what is going on..

I don't need to dowwload the d2loader anymore, all i gotta do is make the full instalation of d2 and d2 LOD, and i will be abble to play without cd? Or i have to still copy the archives from D2 LOD folder to d2?

**skidude** · 06-21-2008, 10:18 AM

All i did was a full install and then i copyed my d2music and d2video off my lod disk and put it into my diablo 2 folder.
