Diablo 2 works under Cedega!

I've bitched and moaned in the past about how frustrated I was at trying to get Transgaming's Point2Play and Cedega to run Diablo II Lord of Destruction. Diablo II would install fine, but LOD always said there was no CD.

I looked and looked for a solution, tried all the permission changes to the cdrom drives, with no success. I finally found the solution on a user forum, posted by a user. The problem is point2play. If you try to install Diablo II and LOD using Point2Play you'll have no success. Point2Play apparently puts each game in its own drive. (an over simplification)

The solution was to run a rm -rf on the .transgaming and .point2play directories then to change to your home directory (not the cdrom) and type something similar to:

cedega /media/cdrom0/setup.exe

If you have problems ejecting the cdrom, make sure that you don't have it automounted elsewhere. If it's on your desktop, right clicking on the cdrom and selecting eject should do it. I sometimes open a term and type:

eject /media/cdrom0

(I'm using Ubuntu). Anyhow, if you do it this way for both versions of the game you'll have no problem getting Diablo II LOD installed. I also tweaked my .transgaming/config file by uncommenting the Desktop="800x600" in the file. I then pressed ESC when Diablo loaded up and went into its options and set it for 800x600. Thus you see the screen shot below:
