I have well installed Diablo II + addons on my Macbook pro. However, application refuses to be executed (a bug still exists). I asked to a mac forum. Apparently, this problem concerns people who have Macbook pro with nvidia graphic cards. Even the last patch from Blizzard is useless… I have to wait for… :’(

I think the problem that people are experiencing when they say it doesn't work with OS X is the graphics chip and/or drivers. My iMac seems to run it just fine, but my friend could not get it to run properly on his MacBook Air. He even downloaded it direct from Blizzard as described above. People in forums seem to think there is a problem with nVidea graphics chips (mine is ATI), and/or a problem with needing a certain driver sets. He downgraded his driver set and got the program running, but the next day after a reboot it went back to not working. There are definitely some long threads in some forums about people having issues. My friend and I tried to play some multiplayer with my iMac and his MacBook Air.

But I found out that those who still have the 26-digit game key can download from Blizzard the patched and Mac OS X ready version of the game as many times as they want (Mac and Win). They just need to register the key online. Register on www.blizzard.com/account Then from your account management page, under My Account Controls, click Games (it's the last button) Then click Add a New Game Insert the 26-digit game key You're done, you can download the game from Blizzard. And it's Mac OS X ready. Alternatively I think that your problem can be solved on this page from apple.com http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/diabloii.html or http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/diabloiilordofdestruction.html Hope this helps!

I have tried to install it but Mac OS X said to me it needs a classical environnement. What's your solution ? Thanks, Arnaud But how is it possible ?

Diablo II WORKS on Mac OS X 10.5.4, I just downloaded yesterday a digital download copy from Blizzard's Store. Works like a charm, even in hardware acceleration, and it's already fully patched and ready to play. Running perfectly on a MacBook. Ramenos, I’m happy to give you good news.

I'm pretty excited for this game. And I'm also excited that will probably be a OS X native version of the entire game, instead of a quick Cider wrap to port it, since Blizzard actually has a Mac development studio. As long as it's not a Cider port, I'll pick this up for Mac as soon as it comes out! Diablo 2 is working fine on my computer: MacBook Pro (1st gen) with OS X 10.5.4 and all the patches.
