Solved Install in Xubuntu Linux

I need a download package with files in a single document to install the game on linux.

 

I only use D2 in Linux, the last time I installed it, I used wine to run the registry modifier and didn't have to manually set the realm.

 

Guys, I have an related question to this topic, how does Wine handles multiple instances of D2? Because most of the times I am running 8-10 different loaders and I'd like to know if Wine is actually able to sustain enough reliability under that load?

Sorry for the offtopic

 

The most I have ever had running was 3 at the same time. I don't have the cpu bug fix, but I do have integrated Stings maphack.
Most of the time, I play single instance in full screen (hence why my screenshots have extra black space).

 

Thanks, but I was wondering if someone have tried to utilise the capacity of Wine during load such as 8-10 D2 instances in window mode at a time, such as if it's reliable to migrate to Linux, which is my goal. Windows tends to become more and more unreachable with every update that's released.

 

You can try installing linux as dual boot along side windows to test it. Most distro installers recognize a windows partition and allow you to resize as needed to make a bootable linux partition. Give it a try and see if it can run what you need, if it doesnt work, you can wipe the linux install and go back to windows.

 

Another alternative to that is to install Linux as a VM (virtual machine) inside the Windows OS. Personally, I've tried the one from Oracle a while ago and it works OK (installing a Linux distro, not Wine + D2).

 

The main problem with running Linux in a VM is that the system cannot handle as much load compared to installing it on bare metal. If the OP is worried about their computer being able to handle so many instances, they probably want as many resources available for D2 and not lose some inherent in running a VM.

 

For modern computers, with loads of hardware resources, this is barely a problem. On top of that, D2 is a program made ~20 years ago, when programmers used to actually optimize code for limited resources, and it has a small memory & CPU fingerprint.
Running D2 (even 8-10 instances) inside a Linux VM, within a Win OS would hardly be a problem for a modern computer, even though your point about less resources available to a VM is absolutely correct.
Installing a Linux VM is a solution for the less tech savvy, but people with enough knowledge can always go for dual boot or Linux only.

 

Thanks guys for the input, I will certainly try

 

Hi !
The best option to play diablo2 if u are running any Linux Distribution is to install some virtualization software, such as Virtualbox. Personally, I have a virtual Windows XP machine and have installed Diablo 2 there. It runs flawessly. No problems at all, and the machine has assigned only 1gb of ram.
