How are you muling with Linux? D2loader doesn't work on realms, right?

D2SE lets you launch multiple d2 instances, to connect to TSW with those multiple instances you'll need this registry file tough.

Created a complete character guide
Just a note for others using linux (arch linux here)--everything worked perfectly for me, glide and all until I updated about a month ago. Not entirely sure what the issue is, but the game errors out on glide (only glide) randomly now. I'm guessing I might need to reconfigure something or the new mesa package is causing a conflict. Anyway, ddraw doesn't really bother me so I go with that.

Yeah, that happens sometimes with arch. I think you're right with the configuration problem, because I installed everything when I posted (ran a system-wide upgrade just before downloading wine etc) and everything works.

Only complaint I have is about how wine uses "drives". Sometimes it complains about not finding an .exe even when it should. That is, to run D2SE.exe (~/.d2/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Diablo\ II/D2SE.exe) it's not enough to have a C: drive in wine that points to ~/.d2/drive_c/, you also (or maybe only) need another drive that points to ~, which is kind of silly. Well, I was looking for something to get started with FOSS contribution, this may be a good starting point.

Anyway, even d2mr works, which I found somewhat surprising, so that's good. Sound is not perfect by the way, It stutters / new sounds overlap old ones, but that's probably a config problem that I'm too lazy to look into.
