Diablo III Tips

Fix: "Removed from Game" and freeze at "Retrieving Heroes"

The modification to the script required to run the game is minimal. It just executes the Battle.net Desktop App and you'll be able to run your game from there


BOTTLE="Diablo_III"
setarch i386 -3 -L -B -R $HOME/cxoffice/bin/cxrun --bottle "$BOTTLE" "$HOME/.cxoffice/$BOTTLE/drive_c/Program Files/Battle.net/Battle.net Launcher.exe"



NOTE: The info below is obsolete since the 2.0.1 patch

As of June 6, many people on 64-bit systems are experiencing issues with the game freezing at "Retrieving Heroes". After a few days, this issue was resolved but the issue re-manifested itself as a "Removed From Game" error with spinning CPU.

The fix for me (adapted from a related command posted on those boards) was to run Diablo 3 using the commands:
BOTTLE="Diablo III"<br>setarch i386 -3 /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxrun --bottle "$BOTTLE" "$HOME/.cxoffice/$BOTTLE/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo III/Diablo III.exe"
Or, if you are using this in a launcher, interpolate the environment variables and set a working directory:
setarch i386 -3 /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxrun --bottle "BOTTLE" "/home/MYUSER/.cxoffice/BOTTLE/drive_c/Program Files/Diablo III/Diablo III.exe"  
(with working directory): /home/MYUSER
Where "BOTTLE" is your Crossover bottle name and "MYUSER" is your linux username.

I will remove this tip if it becomes obsolete, as this is essentially a workaround ( still required as of Crossover 11.2.0 beta 2).
While people are getting stuck trying to log in it's best to have it available here until then. Hope that helps!
