Diablo II disc question ...

I found a used copy of Diablo II with the expansion disc

I started by installing the regular game Diablo II , I created a character and played a couples of hours using the "play disc"

then I installed the expansion disc and now I cannot use the "Play Disc" anymore there is a error message saying that I have to insert the expansion disc ..

I tried to insert the expansion disc and it worked , I could play and continue my regular campaign and could also create a expansion character

My question is , is it normal that once you install the Expansion disc you can only use THAT disc in order to play Diablo II the regular game and the expansion ?

is it normal that I can't use my Diablo II "Play Disc" once the Expansion is installed ???

please help?

You can make it work without discs, don't remember how it was exactly, but it was basically just copying most of the MPQ files from the disc to the game folder.DanielDust

wow Thanks guys for the help !!! I am really enjoying the game , first time for me !

My PC is not strong enough to run Diablo III so I will have Diablo II at least !

thanks again

There's an official D2 no disc patch? Where? I NEED IT.

Oh snap. Haha. I never even thought that they would provide digitial copies of old games like that. Whenever I play D2, I've been using my LOD disc that I bought on release day. It's been so long... So I can just uninstall my current installation, register my cd-keys on Battle.net, and download digital copies?

Yep, works for Starcraft Battlechest, War 3 + expansion, Diablo 2 + expansion and everything since WoW.

whats wrong with using the disc anyway ?

Nothing wrong iwth using the disc it's just convenient to have the digital version. Also Diablo 2 is way better than Diablo 3 so you're not really missing much.
