Diablo II Version History
- Patch 1.12
----------------------------------------------------
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.
UPDATE: Some fans who installed third-party software such as no-cd loader hacks are having problems with making the no-cd patch feature work. DatH said the following:
Personally, I highlighted all the files ending as .MPQ (within the Lord of Destruction CD) and dropped them into the Diablo 2 folder. I clicked NO when it asked me to replace an existing file -- only copying those that didn't exist. Removed my CD from the CD-Drive, and launched Diablo II. It worked fine without the CD.Please reinstall the game using the Full Installation method (with the cinematics) to make sure that all 3rd party files are gone from the Diablo II folder. 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.
When did this thread turn into an undead discussion rotfl.
Regardless, i'm liking the ladder reset so far. Someone found the first SOJ in UsEast Classic a few hours ago =C.
Yeah, I personally think its the very last option... but I do hope that whatever he wanted us to think indeed come true...
Nice, but I will have to wait for some time before I get back on D2... Damn uni...
yea i hate when those damn unicorns steal my cds. Fortunately, Blizzard has released a no-cd patch effectively thwarting said unicorns plans. but you already knew that didn't you?:cute:
That IRC interview he refers to was the interview I scheduled with Knaak on 2006. I organized it as a public Q&A.

I think I met Umaro that same evening. He came to the IRC to attend the Q&A with Knaak.
lol!!
Take THAT you damn dirty unicorns!!!
Nope, it isn't a content patch.
Yeah, but aren't you tired of seeing that 1.11 on the top right corner of your screen when you play. Seeing 1.12 just feel like something is different, something weird is in the air, like some sort of electricity, perhaps, but it's probably nothing.
BTW welcome to the forums
Still goes to diablofans here.. Tried on a couple browsers.
My bet is that it will redirect tomorrow with a countdown to the 29th.. just my 2c
