what being game.exe-less is really about. really. - Justanothern00b - 03-04-2005

Hi everyone,

you'll never believe the stupidest thing I recently did:

While applying a mod/patch whatever I didn't backup my game.exe file. :blush:
I know. It's really, really dumb. :ph34r:
And know I find myself rather game.exe-less.
So, my question to you guys is: could anyone PLEASE be so kind to upload a copy of their working version 1.10 game.exe file to a place I can download it from, or inform me about a place where I can find this file? It'd be marvellous. The game isn't really running without it.

Cheers,

edit: UPDATE:

Hmm, I already found a hacked version of game.exe on the internet, so at least I can play again. And I probably don't need the CD anymore or something.
However, if someone can still supply me with an un-hacked version I'd really appreciate it, since I don't NEED the hack (I own the CD's) and I'd feel a little more comfortable with a 'normal' version of the game. For some unapparent reason.
Anyway, that's it for today, I'm off to my addiction.

Hallelujah.

ps. The Classic Mod RULES! :w00t: (for people with crappy internet like me)

Reinstalling would fix that. :)

True, if it weren't for the fact that my DII original disks were at my mom's house, where I won't get to in the next few weeks... and I couldn't figure out how to do it JUST from the LOD-disk, because, well, you can't (I suspect). I tried to figure out how to do this in another way, but this really seems like the only way to fix it for me :o
Anyway, if someone feels motivated to email me the file, I would be more than happy to pm you my emailadres.

Until that moment.... 'help?' :unsure:

Hmm. You have a workable hacked version, but want to get a working .exe from a lurker, despite being able to reinstall with your own cd's in a couple of weeks?

Pardon the skepticism, but something feels rather odd about that.

I wish you luck, but you may be barking up the wrong tree.

Cheers,

Munk

Assuming you own a valid CD-Key set, you can search common P2P clients for an .ISO image of LoD and mount it with Alchole 120%, Nero Ultra, or any other ISO mounting devices. The legality of downloading the usable .exe off the net is still questionable even if you own a legit copy.

You can alternativly use the 3rd party program d2loader to play Diablo dirrectly off of your hard-drive without the CD needing to be in the drive, but you will need to copy some files off the CD-ROM before the program can work so I don't think this will help you right now.

Next time back up your files :D .

You can actually download game.exe from Blizzard's FTP site. The file is here:

ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/pat...PC/game-lod.zip

I don't know whether it's changed between 1.07 and 1.10, but you should be able to reapply the 1.10 patch to fix it if it has.
