Diablo II registry entries

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Ok Here's whats happened,


Just moved house, set up the PC first (as you do) and 2 nights ago,
i blue screened (very nicely might i add) and could not re-boot the
machine.(After loading the latest patches from Microsoft i might add !)
So being the drop kick i obviously am, i re-installed XP, (didn't loose
any data thank good) and re-set up all the software needed,


Now i've been running DiabloII and LOD for quite a while and like all
ppl, run the no-CD patch. I clicked on the loader, and get the usual
cannot excute game crk error,

OK So load the CD's i hear you say. OK I've found my LOD CD, but
damned if i can find my original D2 CD's (burried in one of the myriad of
boxes i'd say)

So the question is can someone post the Reg entries for D2 for me (or
email 'em)

I have no problem re-buying the CD's (There not that expensive now days)
but where i live is a long way (183k to Canberra) from any major
outlet,so its really time that i'm more concerned with. Mind you the cost
of the petrol to go and get it would be as much as the CD's cost.

Any help would be appreciated....


Regards

GNCP

Not "all people" are running no-CD cracks. Some, like me, have the CD
contantly in the drive, others have used Daemon tools to mount an image of
the CD.

There are no registry keys needed for D2, the CD keys are encrypted in the
MPQ files. The loader afaik is only needed if you want to run several
instances at once with only one installation.

I don't understand the problem though, mind explaining?

If you still have the game installed somewhere on your machine from before
it crashed you can still use without reinstallation. To start it the LoD cd
is enough.

If you want to reinstall the game you need to get hold of the Classic CDs
too, it isn't done with just some registry entries.

Hmm, order them online then and get them sent to you? Or call a shop and ask
them if you can order the game via fax, send them a cheque and make them
mail the game to you?

Give you that one, yeap it fires up with the LOD CD in, only i can't

At least i can play locally, I'll re-order the CD's and have them mailed

I haven't heard about not seeing any servers at all, but there are afaik
issues if you had installed mods or the like. Usually the solution is to
download this gateway registry patch and see if it works:
http://www.spinoperator.net/download.php?datei=registry

The file should be safe, but it is never wrong to be paranoid about
downloaded programmes.
