With D2 installed, ran regardless of if it was the version on the disc (1.03) or the newest version (1.11 B). Second set of discs of D2 + LoD, on both my old and new PC's So, I returned those, got new ones of both D2 and LOD today. Then, I put in LOD still no dice, whether it was version 1.09 or 1.11B. I tried the version on disc, 1.03 - no luck. I think something's up w/ the Expansion disc.įirst set of discs for D2 + LoD, on my newer Win XP PCįirst set of discs of D2 + LOD - It just wouldn't run, period I tried to run D2 w/out the expansion. I used the same drive for both the D2 and D2: LOD install. Looks like I'm returning to EB tomorrow, again. Given everything, I'm beginning to believe my Disc 3 of Diablo 2 is damaged, myself. For those who installed D2: LoD - does D2: LoD ask for D2 Original's 'Play Disk' on the installation process? B/c, from that issues list there, it sounds like it shouldn't. Now, when I install D2: LoD, first thing it asks me is to 'Insert The Play Disc.' That's this issue here. Something's afoot - the game should boot up, right after installing the game.

It asks for the 'Play Disc.' Then I installed the newest patch 1.17b for D2 - bingo, it runs. Now, here's my issues w/ installing and running the game.Īfter installing D2, the game will not boot. Okay, let's just make sure I got the right amount of discs here, before I do on to anything else. I got 3 here for it - Install, Cinematics, and Play Disc. So, okay, here's a few questions, for all you D2 owners. So, I finally get D2 w/ the CD's and the manual. Well, D2 has the CD Key on one of the paper sleeves, but all paper sleeves are missing CD's! Great! So, I walk back into the store and make another exchange. So, I walk out the store and check the D2 box before I leave the mall.

So, I return back to G-Stop and I make an exchange for another one. Later on in the day, I get home and well, my original D2 game's missing a manual and a CD Key. So, I go to EB/GameStop to get D2 and the expansion. Okay, what a day for Diablo 2 + LoD for me.
