Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / July 2008Diablo II download
I quit playing D2 when WoW came out. But with D3 coming up, I would like to start again. I searched high and low, and found some of my CD's but not all of them. I did however find the CD's with the keys on them. Is it possible to download the game and use my CD Keys to upgrade the install? > I quit playing D2 when WoW came out.

If so, I'm tempted to download it, to save reinstalling from CDs in the future... >1) Goto this website and sign-up: >https://www.blizzard.com/login/login.xml [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Click the windows/mac icons on right to download the game free :) Can you do this for multiple sets of Diablo II and LOD (I have 2 of both)? And, can you select which one you will be downloading/installing? Regards, Patrick. >>1) Goto this website and sign-up: >>https://www.blizzard.com/login/login.xml [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Patrick. When you want to download, you click the windows or mac buttons on the right-side of the Diablo or LoD game "bars". Im assuming you can store multiple keys in your account as it has a link "Show key" but I've not tried downloading more than 1 copy of D2, LOD, etc. The downloads are using a BitTorrent (peer2peer) fileshare network thats built into the downloader. You choose the download location and it creates all the folders/files for the installer (and its related files) to download into. It was gonna take about 2 hours to download Diablo2 using my 4mb/s connection but as its peer2peer (sharing from other users downloading it) then the download speeds could change alot over time. I've not downloaded anything from there or ran the installers though - I just checked it out and cancelled the download :) >> Can you do this for multiple sets of Diablo II and LOD (I have 2 of both)? >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >all the folders/files for the installer (and its related files) to download >into. Hmm, so you get that same crappy downloader Blizzard used for the Diablo III videos? That was and is total garbage, but luckily I found a tool which was able to extract the .torrent file, so I could feed that to a proper BitTorrent client (rTorrent). And you only get the installer? Which means you have to run the Install after you've downloaded the stuff, which probably in turn asks you to enter your CD-keys as part of the installation procedure? >It was gonna take about 2 hours to download Diablo2 using my 4mb/s >connection but as its peer2peer (sharing from other users downloading it) >then the download speeds could change alot over time.

I'm quite curious; I also have Steam installed, but I don't see a way for that system to provide access to multiple keys for games...

The Diablo2 and LOD CDs are not made to work only with certain keys, they accept any legit keys that you give them (even non-legit ones) so Im guessing the download will be the same... asking for key during install. >>> Can you do this for multiple sets of Diablo II and LOD (I have 2 of >>> both)? [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > Regards, Patrick. I was house-sitting at my sisters this weekend (still am) so decided to download Diablo instead of take my CDs and write down the steps for you all. My sister doesnt have usenet setup and doesnt want it though (too many idiots telling her its full of virii, etc) so Im posting via VNC and wont be able to read responses until tomorrow but here it goes: Steps to install Diablo2 from the download: 1) Download the BitTorrent installer 2) Run the installer and choose folder to download too 3) Wait 2+ hours (4mb/sec connection) 4) Click "Install Diablo II" 5) Scroll to bottom of agreement 6) Click "Agree" 7) Enter Name & CD-Key then Click "OK" 8) Choose where to install to & click "OK" 9) Click "Back" and "Exit Installer" Steps to upgrade Diablo2 from the LOD download: *** Exactly the same as Diablo2, but LoD installer *** Note: LOD installer needs the D2 installed first Steps to run Diablo2: 1) Run video test 2) If not asked to choose mode - try it again 2) If asked to choose mode - use DirectDraw(2D) 3) Rightclick the DiabloII shortcut 4) Select "Properties" 5) Add "-w" (without quotes) after the target line 6) Click "Ok" and run DiabloII 7) Change your gateway to Europe :P 8) Create a character or login to your account 9) Goto chat and type "/w *SantaClaws Hi, Im from AGD2!" > 7) Enter Name & CD-Key then Click "OK" Pff, the downloaded installer asks me for a 26 characters cd-key. My cd-keys are 28 characters and unrecognized. Pff, I tell you, pff. How odd, my CD keys are 16 characters, best I don't lose my installation disks. >> 7) Enter Name & CD-Key then Click "OK" > > Pff, the downloaded installer asks me for a 26 characters cd-key.

The problem still exists though. The installer asks me to enter a 26 chars key, auto-completing the "-"s in a "AAAAAA-AAAA-AAAAAA-AAAA-AAAAAA" pattern My own keys (both D2 and D2LOD keys) are 16 chars keys like yours, formatted in a "BBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBB" pattern. My key comes from a french box. The downloaded installer is for the english client. Any help appreciated - I might just pop out my old cds if all else fail. > On 18 juil, 07:16, "Ross \(RPJ\)" <ros...@nospamshaw.ca> wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Any help appreciated - I might just pop out my old cds if all else > fail. You created the game-banner by entering the long key on blizzard.com and then it gives you a download for the english client that only supports a shorter key? ...and your sure there was nowhere to select the french client on the website/download (when adding key or during the BitTorrent downloader?) > > On 18 juil, 07:16, "Ross \(RPJ\)" <ros...@nospamshaw.ca> wrote: > >> "Babe Bridou" <babebri...@hotmail.com> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > ...and your sure there was nowhere to select the french client on the > website/download (when adding key or during the BitTorrent downloader?) Nah, actually the opposite. I created the game banner by entering the short key on blizzard.com, then it gave me a download for the english client that only supports a long key. I just found the solution by the way, got a tip from a friend who got it from his cousin. "Talked to my cousin, he got it to work. Quote: Till siger: your own old key doesn't work Till siger: it's just used for adding the game online Till siger: you have to use the new one you get by clicking on "view cd-key" Till siger: that one worked fine then" And now it's working fine. > > I quit playing D2 when WoW came out.

Has anybody ever tried it though? Regards, Gunde >> > I quit playing D2 when WoW came out. But with D3 coming up, I would >> > like to start again.

I've still been using your FAQ and sometimes sending people there - lol I was around for the GreenTeam thing but was away on holday when you did it, I think. I can remember playing UsWest originally until I got tired of the 300+ pings. Nice to see you back anyways - material is ready now if you want to update :) |
