Will installing the 1.10 patch screw up my no-CD hack for 1.09D?

[Al Smith]

I'm playing the Diablo II Expansion with the 1.09D patch from my
hard drive using the no-CD hack. If I install the 1.10 patch, will
it deactivate the no-CD hack?

I use the NOCD hack because my bloody laptop's CD/DVD drive fails the
blizzard authorization check; however, I assure you its a store-bought CD.

In any case, I upgraded to 1.10 and have had no trouble with the NOCD
loader.

I'm going to give it a try. My copy of the game is legal also. I
bought the Battle Chest and got Diablo, Diablo II, and Lord of
Destruction all at one time. I put the no-CD hack on my computer
because the final act of the expansion set was making my CD run
continuously. It's one of those CD drives that speeds up and slows
down, depending on how much information is being accessed, and in
the expansion part of the game it ran non-stop at max speed, and
sounded like a jet plane all the time I was playing it, and got so
hot I was afraid it was damaging my Diablo CD.

This is definitely a bug in the game, and definitely Blizzard's
fault. I don't know how many other buyers have run into the same
problem.

Why the hell isn't Blizzard smart enough to just make running from
the hard drive an legitimate option, so we don't need the no-CD
hack? It is soooo much nicer playing the game from the hard drive.

I have one like that - continuous whine, massive heat build-up. I ended up
having to yank it out and replace it. The Pioneer slot-load DVD-ROM is as
quiet as a tomb with the LOD disk in it.

My experience (with a legal original D2 and LOD): the No-CD crack for
1.09 works, but now gives an Illegal Memory Access Violation error
when you exit the program (no big deal) that it didn't before the
patch. I tried the two 1.10 No-CD cracks from gamecopyworld, and
neither of them worked on BattleNet - both of them got me chucked out
with a message like "cannot determine game version".

So use the 1.09 crack. :-)

Cheers!

Have you tried installing the 1.10 no-cd crack and then running the "diablo II.exe" file?

Guys.

Spend some moolaah on Virtual Drive. Its a great program that I use
(came with my graphics card) which allows you to create a copy of your
game disk which yo can then mount on your machine. No CD issues eva.

I use it for all my games. Even the ones which didnt mount under daemon
tools.

Under mac this isnt really an issue though :)

I have just one question about this.

If my cd-rom can't see whatever copy protection is being used, how is it
supposed to copy it when it makes the game disk copy?

Worse yet, you'll have to put the original .exe back in for the patch to
install at all. Then it's off to gamecopyworld for a 1.10 nocd.
