For windowed mode
For fullscreen
It just works!
Common problems and solutions
I want to play fullscreen
MXL Sigma doesn't play nicely with fullscreen and DirecDraw or Direct3D. To play fullscreen you have to use 3dfx video driver.
Diablo crashes with ACCESS VIOLATION (c0000005)
Make sure you're running in windowed mode (-w flag) or playing fullscreen (-3dfx flag)
Generic bad character file when creating singleplayer character
Easy way is to login to The Sin War once, create a character and log in once. After that you can create characters offline.
If that doesn't work you can create missing folder structure. $WINEPREFIX is ~/.wine by default:
Diablo crashed and I can't close it
Use Activity Monitor.app, find and kill all wine and wineserver processes
Another option is to use CMD+OPTION+ESC combination for a force quit shortcut.
I have MacOS Catalina and nothing works
Thanks to Apple ruining 32-bit application support on MacOS Catalina it is no longer possible to run wine. There is a solution by another application named CrossOver, which is similar to wine and wineskin. You will require CrossOver version 20+ to make this work, the process is similar:
1. Create a 'bottle' - a virtual instance of a Windows machine wrapper.
2. Follow instructions above to install D2 LoD + MedianXL
