[Manually] Install Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls! (Work in Progress)

[RedXXXKnight]

K not sure if I goofed somewhere... So Before I get to the patch section, the game will launch with the RoS background. After the patch part it says it cannot validate core files, so I tried to do the "C:\XXXXXXX\Battle.net Launcher.exe" --switcherall --install --tomepath=C:\XXXXXX\Installer Tome 1.MPQ --game=diablo3_beta_enus --diskinstall and it tells me I havent been invited yet.

Did I miss a step? redid it 2x and same thing.. Thanks again for all the effort your putting into this major kudos to you sir.

I have the same thing. If we want to just start the exe:

1. Create Folder: "Diablo III Beta"
2. Create "Data_D3" in "Diablo III Beta"
2.1 -> Create "PC" in "Data_D3"
2.1.2 -> Create "MPQs" in "PC"
4. Download MPQ Editor
4.1 Start MPQ Editor
4.1.1 Open : Installer-Tome1.MPQ
4.1.2 Extract Files from "DIABLO III" to "ROOT" Folder! So you have in the root of Diablo III Beta: Diablo III.exe , Diablo III Public Test Launcher.exe etc.

Put all downloaded *.mpq to the "PC" folder (2.1.2)
Create Shortcut of Diablo III.exe and add "-launch" to the run command line

You'll launch Diablo3 RoS in the oldest version.

Please Install the non Patched Version and run it once (via Shortcut) but DON'T Login!

If this works give me Feedback

[sean198633]

[Ehnoah]

Yea Unpatched it runs fine. Just after the patch etc it wont. And D3.exe version does match like you asked. After the launcher installed in the previous directory it also shows the 2.0 version now, same "cant validate core files".

[Ehnoah]

So if the Version not match, you are sure you downloaded the NEW Exe Files from the first Site?

Can't go past the login screen either. I'm stucl with the patching message, then the game reboot itself.

[rubiks24]

yeah works just fine...cant get past the login

[Ehnoah]

That is because you run the OLD Version. You need Patch it

Also you can't login right now. You get "Server Offline" Message (Error 33) if you done it correctly.


@

rubiks24 which Error?

As Rakunvar stated earlier, the updated files show a "cant validate core files" at launch.

I noticed at one time that the game actually really updated itself : the D3 transparent picture which appears just before the game launch was static, and "working". And when I looked upon the MPQs directory, I saw the new files/directories (locked mpq's).
I could not tell what were the conditions sadly, and I was not patient enough to wait for all the files to be download properly.

I have not that much time at the moment, but maybe I will try to recreate those circonstances, and see if I could at least make the updated files work. Giving me access to the login screen.

Lets try to Compare guys:

Updates Folder:




Bnet Folder:



Data_D3\PC\MPQs\ Folder:

@Ehnoah: I get the server is down for maintenance, and if I just type in a random password for a known streamer that has RoS beta, it tells me password is incorrect!

[Ehnoah]

Ah so its Licence based

Great! Thanks ! Lets try something cool :>

[Rakunvar]

Confirmed now same files, deleted any excess but still same problem.

Maybe the files are Directory name specific as in the dir's names need to match yours?

Im going to redo the whole thing again and see. What about the Cache folder? anything need to be there?

So update-base-20493.mpq shows 1,316,695 on my end yours is 1,316,705kb?

also there's 2 /updates files to download but you only show 1 in your folder? d3-01-all-final.mpq and d3-0-20493-win-final.mpq

I also dont have or see any /Root Diablo III.mfil file, but I have the .tfil one?

So you need to launch old version before putting other files in and trying to patch it?
