Quote:I've had a copy of Diablo sitting on a shelf for about 10 years, and just now started playing it. Neat game! I'd like to try battle.net, but I am at V1.00. I've downloaded the 1.09 patch. When I execute the patch, it opens a DOS prompt that has a flickering cursor, I see my hard drive fill up about 500 Megs or so, and the flickering cursor continues for over a day.
My question - Ideally, how long does it take to upgrade from V1.00 to V1.09 once you execute the patch file?
Where did you get that patch? The real patch certainly doesn't behave like that. I'd certainly advise you to do a virus and adware scan now, as you may have infected your computer with all sorts of nasty stuff.
The real patch takes about a second to apply.
