How To Install Diablo 2 Expansion Without Cd

Jan 23, 2018 - How to Install and Play Diablo 2 & Diablo 2 - Lord of Destruction Without the Physical Game Discs/CDs. Requirements: Valid CD-Keys.

Re: how do i play d2 without the disk? Download the v1.12 patch from \'www.blizzard.com\' (the one for your system, Windows or Mac). Get your pack of CDs out and run the patch file. Copy the files \'D2music.mpq\' and \'D2Xmusic.mpq\' from the CD to the directory \'Program Files/Diablo 2\' on your C: drive. Follow the on-screen instructions, which will tell you which CD to put in the drive, show you a progress bar, then tell you which CD to put in next, and so on. Reboot when finished, put the CDs away, and play the game. Seamless transition between acts -- goes right into the cinematic without that \'put in the disk\' stuff, and if you don\'t want to watch the whole show, just press Spacebar and you\'re into the next act right away.

Re: how do i play d2 without the disk? The difference between a partial and a full install is that d2video.mpq is copied from the core game into the game dir and you can do that by hand as well. That means, a medium install is enough. You just have to copy the d2music.mpq, d2video.mpq from the core game and d2xmusic.mpq, d2xvideo.mpq from the expansion game into the install dir, in case they are missing. The info on the Blizzard webpage is a bit incomplete with respect to that.

I\'m not sure about a minimum install (playing without bnet), I haven\'t tried that. My LOD is V1.12 so I don\'t know if that has any bearing.

I don\'t hafta use my CD at all when playing \'cause I\'m using a virtual drive. I jez insert my D2 virtualCD in my virtual drive when I want to play. You can try using other clone devices, too (per advice by my computer geek). My computer geek told me you jez need the CD for the cinematics. Used to be I couldn\'t play either if I don\'t have the CD on my optical drive. But the VCD works just fine when I play.
