Hello there

I've been trying to follow the instructions at:

http://www.playonmac.com/en/commentaires-1043.html

but without success.

I have installed the new version of wine (1.5.4-diabloIII) without any problems but I don't understand:

"For those who have the DVD version, you need to mount it manually with unhide option and install it with wine 1.5.4-DiabloIII manually. Don't be afraid, we've planed to support the DVD version very soon."

I have the DVD version and I have tried running the .exe from a new virtual drive with wine 1.5.4-DiabloIII but I get the error:

"An error occurred while writing to your hard drive. Pklease make sure your hard drive is not full and try again.

Please click the link below for more information or contact Customer Support if the problem persists.

Error code: BLZPT"00009"

Which was the same install error as I had before.

I'm not sure what "unhide" option and stuff is. Can someone explain that?

Thank you

Can you type

mount

in a terminal ?

Sure, does this help?

drowz0r@Prime:~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Yep it helps

sudo umount /dev/sr0
sudo mkdir /media/Diablo3
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/Diablo3 -o unhide,unhide,uid=$(id -g)

I had the below output:

drowz0r@Prime:~$ sudo umount /dev/sr0
[sudo] password for drowz0r:
drowz0r@Prime:~$ sudo mkdir /media/Diablo3
drowz0r@Prime:~$ sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/Diablo3 -o unhide,unhide,uid=$(id -g)
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
drowz0r@Prime:~$

I opened up PlayOnLinux and Clicked "+ Install" then "Install a non-listed program" then clicked next, then selected "Install a program in a new virtual drive" and clicked next. I named the drive "Diablo III" and clicked next. I then ticked "Use another version of Wine" and I select "1.5.4-DiabloIII" and click next. IT loads for a few seconds and then I can select "CD-Rom : Diablo3" like I could previously and I click next.

An error appears saying:

"Error: Wine seems to have crashed

If your program is running, just ignore this message"

but the program isn't running.

Don't use run from a CD-ROm

Select the file manually

Ah ha, well good news so far, it ran the disc, checked for updates, it's running the installer now.

I'll let you know how I get on :)

The game installed and runs fine. Hurray!

After some fiddling all my shortcuts and everything worked fine too. It's seemingly flawless now!

Much appreciated!

Here not worked, the installation say "not have space on HD".
How i change this?
Thanks.

I don't see an option to run "1.5.4-DiabloIII". I am running Fedora 16, 32-bit. Any ideas?

Thank you POL for making it easy to get D3 to run on Ubuntu.

I managed to get Diablo3 running on POL but when the game startsup my 2nd monitor goes blank and into power save mode.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Edit: Nvm, I found out that by setting wine to emulate a desktop of the same size as my main monitor then my 2nd monitor won't go into power save mode. :)

Thank you for making Diablo III work!!
Used the CE DVD, with:

mount
sudo umount /dev/sr0
sudo mkdir /media/Diablo3
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/Diablo3 -o unhide,unhide,uid=$(id -g)

Clicked install Diablo III in POL, selected the exe on the cd, and it installed so fast, before the story during install was finished, the game was installed!

TIp: if you use bumblebee, run POL in optirun mode, so the installer sees your 2nd graphic card, and thus installs D3 the right way!

Hey Guys...

I am a slooowww learner... but i would be ETERNALLY grateful if you could help me with my Diablo 3 installation problem.... :D

I have follow your instructions... but seem to keep coming back to the error
