me and my bro's Diablo game both say to insert expansion disc... what gives? does this no cd patch work has anyone tested it? we both have FULL installation
It doesn't seem to work for me either, but I've been using Virtual CD for years so I don't care much.
I think you need to paste Diablo.exe somewhere or I don't know.
EDIT: Try this it worked for me
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.
For some reason I had to copy the D2XVIDEO.mpq as well as the music one. I did a full install when I loaded it, I always fully install. It works now... thnx

There is a place on Earth for all God's creatures...... right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy...^_^
Okay, what are the files you need to copy and where are they and where do I copy them to? I have Full Install, but for some reason it still won't let me go CD-less.
???? go to My computer, go into the LOD cd, copy all the .mpq files, don't go in the other folders. Copy them where you installed Diablo 2 LOD, when your ask to replace the currently existing files say no and remove the cd I just did it and it worked, so it should work for you too.
ok this is what i did. put in both your diablo 2 and diablo 2 expanison disk(if you got 1 cd drive put one in at a time. if you got 2 cd drives put one in each)
go to my computer and right click the diablo 2 exp. icon in the cd drives. click open. it should bring all the files on the disk.
open up your diablo II folder in you program files from a different window.
now look for .mpq files. basically select all the .mpq files.
drag and drop the mpq files from the disk to the folder.
if you see a messetge come up that says replace this file. click no.
do same for diablo II non exp.
this is what i did and i was able to get into battle.net and join the game bambi and winston are in. if you use this way and have troubles pm me and ill try to help.
What a disapointment.. Those lazy bastards couldn't even throw us a bone. : ( I really hoped for some new content. No reason for a new ladder account now, i"ll just keep my expansion one..

Lace me with the words of destruction and I'll explode, but supply me with the will to survive and watch the world grow.
to the left is 4 game icons in this order [ WoW, SC2, WC3, D2]
well we know wc3 turned into world of warcraft... so now under it is our beloved d2, wc3 +d2 = d3, BUT
remember as previously stated wc3 turned into WoW, so by the transitive property of conspiracy, d3 turns into WoD
-My Position on Black Metal: "So you know those annoying kids you see running around listening to crap radio rock bands wearing tripp jeans and shopping at hot topic? Well, Black Metal is just the next big thing... have fun with your trends, I'm gonna stay metal"

In google images you can find a picture that blizzard posted a few ago (diablo squating next to a fire in the snow) and a site called "diablofans.com" [some hype site] had a thread noting a WWI 2008 logo under it or something like that, but when you go to the page, the thread is deleted
and a logical note: diablo can not be on battle.net as sc2 will be on battle.net
and sure, blizzard can handle the 10 million that will be stressing the servers on bnet w/ sc2
but they CAN NOT handle the 20 million playing World of Diablo on those servers

Judging by the numbers of posts sprouting in a short amount of time, I'd say yes. I'll be quiet now (fingers crossed) and go back playing D2.

I think this is a "ATTENTION, Diablo 3 is COMING" sort of sign...

No, it's just that there's too much stuff happening all at once
I would like to point out that blizzard now has a planet bio of the planet Char
Char is the volcanic and HELLish ("In spite of the hellish conditions") planet invested with zerg
I call it as a hint
(which actually holds more weight than "OMG NO CD PATCH")

MMO, but without the MMO feel as in WoW.
I think you will have to fight Diablo himself in groups of many people, and not be solo-able.
They CANNOT!, make a game that can be solo'd, without the need of groups.
I think of it as maybe a Diablo play style in a World Of Warcraft World with enhanced graphics.
hmm how bout this then
