I just bought a copy of Diablo 2 (wih expansion) and tried to install it on my Mac and I encountered this problem. I basically have a windows-only playdisk and I need to send the disk to Blizzard for replacement. :upset: I'm not familiar with sending parcels out. What do I need to do? Can someone help me with this? Can someone send/receive the disks on my behalf? Anyone? I have another option - If anyone has a proper hybrid diablo 2 play-disk and is willing to swap/sell the disk, I'll be willing to make the exchange/transaction... :qmark:
lamski all the releases of diablo are hybrid, unless you are using a pirated version *wink wink* also, are you using the installer on the cdrom instead of the os x downloadable?
Hello HAL9000, Of course I'm using original software. I just bought it from datablitz at greenbelt 1 last friday. :winkgrin: If you go to this link http://www.macaddict.com/forums/topic/60178 and go to post #19, you'll see that I'm not the only one with this problem. I've tried using both the OS X Native installer from the disk as well as the one from Blizzard's patch page. The strange thing is, only the Play Disk is windows-only. The rest of the disks are hybrids. :sigh: I've contacted Datablitz regarding the problem and I hope they get back to me with good news... I was really looking forward to spending the weekend levelling up. [Edited on 6.25.05 by lamski] [Edited on 6.25.05 by lamski]
my problem naman with diablo 2 and the patches is that i was able to use the native patch which makes it work without having to open classic. I played it this way mga 4-5 times then now whenever i try to play it this comes out...hassle i dont know why this happens
dude... theres a "do not show this..." blah blah at the bottom of the dialog screen. if that doesnt work try trashing your diablo 2 prefs...
ah yeah pala thanks man, pero the problem is dapat when that screen comes out the "diablo II" burning logo should appear, like this dapat, but if you notice the 1st one i posted doesnt have it
Just an update on my situation: Datablitz has agreed to assist me in getting a replacement disk from Blizzard. They were very prompt in responding and quite reasonable. The downside is that I have to wait for it... :sigh: But it's better that nothing right?
I have to wait for about a month... bought the diablo 2 battle chest (diablo 1 & 2 and LoD expansion) for 1,550 PHP.
better get the battlechest... the lod standalone is over php750 @dive i think you need to reinstall diablo completely using the downloadable os x installer... looks like you have some corrupted files. BTW: diablo 2 is so much faster in os 9 native (not classic!) than os x...
I managed to buy a Star Craft Battle Chest for PC and Mac this afternoon. My old SC Battle Chest which I bought back in 1999 was Windows only.
Hal9000- Dude how will i load it in os 9? TO EVERYONE DO NOT BUY FIRST THE BATTLECHEST VERSION OF DIABLO, DATABLITZ HAS ALREADY SENT A MEMO TO ALL THEIR STORES TO WARN ALL MAC USERS.
is your mac os 9 bootable? if it is... just put in the cdrom and run the included installer, you can either get the update through the built-in battle.net net access or download the patch (1.10b) from blizzard.com. pretty straightforward.
Just an update: Datablitz has found a replacement play disk. I'll probably drop by the store to later this day/week to get it. It took a while but it all worked out. :yes:
