I used to play Diablo II regularly under wine, however after a long hiatus I 
tried again recently and it didn't work. It just sat there, no errors, no 
windows, nothing happened. It seems either newer versions of wine have a 
regression here or there's an incompatibility with X 4.2 or linux 2.4 or 
something else on my system that's been updated. I straced the process and it 
just sat calling wait4 but then I guess that's normal, it's hard to trace a 
program that forks so much.

Could you do some regression testing on this to find out what patch broke it?

hmm, I am able to get windows opened, i just cant get it to start now, if I 
load Diablo II.exe (uncracked version) it asks me for the original CD, and if I 
run the DLoad.exe (cracked version to not need the CD) it gives me this 
error:fixme:ntdll:NtOpenProcessToken (0xffffffff,0x00000028,0x406f28d4): stub
fixme:advapi:LookupPrivilegeValueW ((null),L"SeDebugPrivilege",0x66f01824): stub
fixme:ntdll:NtAdjustPrivilegesToken 
(0x0000cafe,0x00000000,0x66f01820,0x00000000,(nil),(nil)),stub!
err:virtual:NtAllocateVirtualMemory called with wrong alloc type flags 
(08001000) !

and in the Desktop window (i have Desktop=800x600 on) i get a box saying:
Error establishing API Hooks

I have tried winver win2k, nt40, and 98 in the config file...

I figured out the problem...

Here is the scenario:

Diablo II.exe and Game.exe unpatched, no bnet loader

Game works (from what I can tell, dont have original CD right now, it is at a 
friend's)

DLoad.exe and Game_crk.exe bnet loader and patched Game.exe

Game_crk.exe works for single player only, DLoad.exe is the file causing the 
errors

If you need to run the game on bnet with the loader for whatever reason, email 
me by clicking on my name above this post.  I will email you a script to get it 
working, it does the same thing as DLoad.exe but it is in script form so that 
you can do it on linux...

Note that these notes are a bit old and I havent gotten a chance to update them 
to the newest wine output, so some of them may be invalid, but then again, this 
bug is mainly a place for people who are having problems with the loaders and 
need to get it working
