I will be adding a link to this on my Challenge thread! Great work!
great thread.
Perhaps you can help.
My d3 launched once but sound was jacked up, I exited it and now it just says locating.
The launcher updated today game launched, exited tried to relaunch and again says locating.
The game is listed under the Games tab, tried it out and it worked nicely.
Problem is, they have been bought by ArcGames?
The installer for Arc seems to run, but needs some tinkering
Will look into it
Did you follow my tutorial or someone else´s?
Do you have proprietary drivers installed, if yes AMD or Nvidia?
I believe I followed your guide above, the are several main differences however.
Ubuntu 15.04
Nvidia 355.06
I used playonlinux, and pretty much let it do everything, its using 1.7.15, on xp mode. It appears to be having issues finding the game files.
Do you have msvcr90 under Existing_overrides in your Wine Configuration?
Wine Configuration > Libraries >
Other then that, it looks like your virtual drive might be broken, i would recommend a reinstall, did you install with 64 or 32 bit?
Yep that is there, I am unsure of what version I installed. I used blizzard install executable if that matters.
I would do a re-install, PlayOnLinux prefers 32 over 64 bit (In my experience)
Btw: You exited the game how? Just use the in-game Quit button over anything else, if possible
(Otherwise it might break something)
I used the exit diablo in the menus, how do you specify 32 vs 64? there is only one download file, then it just downloads the files from blizzard.
The installer gives you the option, when installing a non-listed program
awh i just used their diablo 3 since it was in their list of games.
Ah okay.
I would recommend, getting the installer from Blizzard as i did.
You could not have known that, my bad.
You just need the Launcher to run correctly, everything else the Launcher does for you
That's what I did, their script ask for an install file, and i had it use the one from blizzard, im gonna try just using wine with out using the playonlinux see how that fairs.
Its not what you did.
You installed it using the Diablo 3 Script, yeah?
I installed it using the Install A Non-Listed Program option.
You can find it here: PlayOnLinux > Install > Bottom Left Corner > Install a non-listed program
Problem here is: That the install-script might be old, which is not good for newer games. (If anything is changed in the program, it might break the script)
Yea, I'm going to try installing non listed, see how it goes.
Sounds good, let me know how it goes?
Also, updated the thread. Now including my Nvidia X Server Settings.
Excellent work, thanks for posting.....
Running POL on unity runs like shit, everything else slows to a crawl. I installed Mint. Game runs fine just had to click on location then hit tab to make it display the list.
I could imagine it would, have no idea why they would use something as useless as Unity
Glad to hear, that you made it work
Happy Gaming
