Got Diablo III working on my Ubuntu 11.04 box. Not sure if the below is all necessary, but this is what I have workng now.
Things needed
- Synaptic package manager, search the Ubuntu app store thingy.
- Wine Development Release 1.5+, install instructions here, still ended up using Synaptic to install development release.
- PlayOnLinux, install instuctions for lastest version.
- Diablo III setup directory, copied from windows.
Things to do
- Start PlayOnLinux
- Click add program
- Find Diablo 3
- Follow PlayOnLinux install instuctions, find Setup.exe in setup directory copied from Windows.
- Follow Diablo III install instructions
- Clickng play, and attempting to log on would hang on "Authenticating Credentials."
- Close Diablo III
- Run command found on PlayOnLinux forum (found here)
Console:
echo 0|sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope - Run Diablo III again, shouldn't hang on "Authenticating Credentials."
Have had my system hang a couple of times playing so far. Need to look into why.
