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.

EDIT:Not hte vary last part but the last part next to Update:
This:
"© Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 3 @ Diablo Watch - 1998-2007"
or this:
"Update: Lilith takes a "major" role in the upcoming Diablo trilogy by Richard A. Knaak. In an IRC interview, Knaak confirmed Lilith's role in Diablo 3. "
The book describes her to be like a naga...:s
Maxfreak is just a fan site....probably just making assumptions
Q: So… Diablo 3?
A: I am not writing for a dead world…but a world with dead. Nuff said.

WORLD OF DIABLO
PROOF: KNEEL BEFORE ME AND TREMBLE
Don't the Scourge and Forsaken count?
PS: Dunno why i never saw anyone bringing that up before...
Anyway, a patch is a patch so please let's just get the WWI hype bursting out...
duh
also
http://www.diablofans.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=220086
anyway don't get why you posted that link...
1. Demons and angels are not alive so they can not be DEAD
2. Ghouls and Zombies were once alive, and then died, and are now alive again (hence undead)
3. Succubi, pigmis, evils, bugs, maggots, etc are still alive and are not dead creatures (like kodos or murlocs)
So in conclusion either Knaak mispoke or is referencing hardcore characters w/o a disconnect hack OR noobs w/ -resistance rushing mobs or WW barbs who WW into mobs while Iron Madiened
OR more likely was trying to be "clever", and he is a Krapple Komputer Kompany user, and they are known for trying to be clever
