Requirements

"Path of Diablo" mod works perfectly under Wine (just as vanilla D2:LoD does), but it's launcher requires some additional configuration. Basically all you need - setup win32 prefix and install dotnet 4.0 there.

Preparing prefix

  • Install Wine and winetricks packages from your distro repositories. In case of Archlinux:
pacman -S wine winetricks
  • Create new win32 prefix with winecfg:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
  • Install dotnet4.0 with winetricks there:
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks

Select "install DLL or Windows components" on second screen, choose "dotnet40" option and press OK

Installing the game

  • Download game files, patches and PoD installer to any folder as described here.
  • Unpack DiabloII_113c_Installer.zip somewhere
  • Fire up terminal, enter Original directory first, run
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 Installer.exe
  • Enter Expansion directory, run
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 installer.exe
  • Enter directory with LODPatch_113d.exe, run
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 LODPatch_113d.exe
  • Install PoD launcher
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine start pathofdiablolauncher.msi

Running the game

  • In terminal, enter Diablo II directory and run PoD launcher
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine Path\ of\ Diablo\ Launcher.exe
  • Select "Choose Main Gateway" and press "Set Gateway"
  • Press "Update Available" to get the latest client version
  • Press "Play"
