Some people including myself have had problems with the downloadable disks from blizzard. I know people who had no problems getting them or the mod to work but I had some problems.
The first problem I had was getting them to actually start the game, sometimes the game would start with the shortcut, sometimes it would ask me to insert a disk.
To get round it for this mod, simply use the loader provided at the bottom this thread. Make a shortcut of the loader and right click it, click on properties and on the Target line at the end add -direct -txt. There is a space between the end of the line and the first - and between the end of direct and the next -. Make sure it is right. This is needed in order for the latest 1.21z update to work. IE. "C:\Users\Admin09\Desktop\diablo stuff\HU\NewLoader.exe" -direct -txt <--This is how mine looks
The update can be found here. This is for multiplayer only!
The other problem I had was patching the game with these virtual disks. I tried going straight to 1.10 and that didn't work. For some reason, I would get an error every time I tried to start the game. To fix this I Downloaded the 1.09 patch found here, then upgraded to 1.10
the 1.10 files can be found here
These are the only 2 problems I have encountered personally with the disks from blizzards site. I had the problem on 2 computers, but not on my old computer. If there are any other problems post them here and any solutions you have found.
