That´s strange... mg2:
That´s the first time, I hear, that re-installing a game causes so much trouble! :blink:
I just installed Diablo 1 on my PC (with Win XP). It works without a problem; it loads the patch and I can connect to the battle.net without any problems.

Which OS do you use? I figured out, that the game has some problems, if the compatibility-mode (win 95 or Win 98/Me) is activated. (atleast on my PC. Maybe you should try out the compatibility mode, if you haven´t tested it already.)

The following may seem to be silly questions, but often the most obvious things get overlooked :
When you are at the multiplayer-menue and you can choose the type of connection: Is the option "Battle.net" activated, before you try to connect?
Which Battle.net-Gateway is set? Try to connect to another gateway.


Well, at the moment that´s all I can think of. I would suggest, that you visit the blizzard-site and some Diablo-Fansites.
I only know german fansites; so I don´t think, these will help you. But I found something in the Diablo-FAQ at the Blizzard Support. Maybe THIS is helpfull.

Edit: CD-Key? Diablo1 has no CD-key. You can play both Singleplayer and Multiplayer without it.

Well, I checked and the compatibility was indeed the wrong thing. I unchecked the compatibility and the cd was checked right this time (done it the time of my previous post), that prob fixed.
I use all the gateways and nothing - no battle.net . As for the cd-key - thanks, didn't know that .

As for the Blizzard Support - I'll try to use patch 1.09B for NT systems, cause my Windows are XP Professional Servece Pack 2 (or later, I can't remmember...).
Question - why does battle.net not work for me, when it works flawless for you? :blink: Maybe you could try and help me solve that... :blink:

Mh... I´ll try to help you.

A description of what I did to get the game to work:
I installed the game with my admin-account and play it with my admin account. I didn´t install the patch manuelly; I let the auto-patcher do the work for me. After that I did a restart and allowed the game to pass the Windows-firewall. After that I had no problems to connect with the battle.net (gateway Europe).
That was all. I had no problems and I didn´t have to use a special trick.


It could be helpfull, if you post the text of the error-message you get, when you try to connect.

It could also be, that the server list has changed / has an error / is damaged. In that case the game (obviously) can not connect whatever you try. Here is a link to a Blizzard Support Page, that deals with this kind of problem. Look! A link! :P


Started playing Diablo 1 again: I have to say, it´s much more difficult than Diablo 2. Many things are different.

Now it says:

"Unable to connect to battle.net. If you're using a modem to connect, then you must not be configured for Dial Up networking and have to establish the connection manually."
A while ago, it said this:
