I just installed Diablo III using the digital download from Blizzard. A Desktop icon and a Menu entry were created. Either one gets to the first screen, Updating Tools, which fails.
<begin aside>
I also have a working version of WoW which I start from a Desktop icon. Its Command string is:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/volunteer/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe" -opengl
<end aside>
The D3 Command string is:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/volunteer/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/volunteer/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/All\ Users/Desktop/Diablo\ III.lnk
I've read the info in the AppDB and tried adding "taskset -c 1 wine":
taskset -c 1 wine env WINEPREFIX="/home/volunteer/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/volunteer/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/All\ Users/Desktop/Diablo\ III.lnk
Didn't work either.
Because I don't understand the differences between the two Command strings, I'm asking for education as well as a solution. I'm having a similar problem with the WoW Beta. If I can understand what's going on with this, I might be able to "fix" the Beta.
Thanks
